Come Around to See you Once in a While

On Page Thirty-Two, Sayadaw says that to practice Vipassana, you 'go back to the Noble Truth of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, to know and see the 11 types of mentality/materiality', but this time you see them with the three marks of impermanence, non-self, and unsatisfactoriness. 

He quotes the Buddha's questions from the Anattalakhara Sutra;
-Are materiality/mentality permanent?  NO
-Are materiality/mentality fit to be mine?  NO
-Are materiality/mentality suffering?  YES

The beautiful lens of awareness sees without judgement.
