One of the things to do in the West from time to time, and not necessarily every day, is to read the newspaper sections that are not comics and sports. Read the front page, read the international news, try to get in touch with the Dukkha of the world. That's one little thing that always helps. Often, too, the looking at Dukkha takes on a different framework. As the question says, in Asia, especially here at Wat Kow Tahm, you get to see nature, you get to see the geckos eating the flies, you get to see snakes occasionally, you get to see more of the Dukkha of nature, and real life, so to speak. In the West it's true, a lot of this just isn't there. People are living in apartments and homes, everything nice and tidy.
You can change the focus and look at mental Dukkha more. Look at the Dukkha of people's speech, which portrays their mental Dukkha, look at how much people crave attention, how much people want to be loved, inferiority complexes, etc., try to observe it, outwardly in people around you. You have observed it inwardly quite a bit. In the West, it's often time to observe it outwardly more. And apply that understanding to old things which are quickly replaced and so on. Everything's new, everything's fresh, you can buy anything you want at the local K-Mart, or "whatever" discount store. Reflect that it doesn't make the people truly happy.
So that is what you can often use when you are back in the West. Look at the suffering in the mind. Materially they have plenty. Look at the suffering in the mind.
