Practices    (Patipatti) Simplified Practice For The Beginning Yogi               It is not a good idea to make the practice too complicated at first. Since rupa is easier to see (gross), and nama rather difficult (subtle) to see, it is best for the beginning yogi to use rupa as the object in the present moment as much as possible, and to restrict practice to these essentials:             1) The yogi's main duty is to know sitting rupa, standing rupa, etc. at all times and to know it through yogavacara: that is, to stay in the cinta panna present moment as continuously as possible, and to restrict practice to these essentials:             2) A secondary duty is to note whatever mental states interfere or intrude upon the knowing of sitting rupa, etc. (such as "nama hearing", "nama seeing" etc.)             3) To remain in a given position until pain forces a change, then to "yoniso" the pain as to cure suffering and follow the pain into the new position.             4) To "yoniso" all other activity (eating, bathing household task, etc.) as to cure suffering.             5) In short, the main duty of the beginning yogi is to be aware of rupa continuously in all positions, until complete familiarity is developed.
