Vipassana Meditation: As taught by S N Goenka

Vipassana Meditation is one of the oldest techniques of meditation and was rediscovered by Buddha. At that time he used to live in northern part of India about 2500 years ago. He changed the whole Indian society that existed at that time and at that time nearly all the people living in northern India used this technique in the daily life to come out of the miseries. Now this technique has been re-introduced to the world by a teacher who was born in Myanmar but had an Indian background. This technique is taught by the Vipassana International Academy  all over the world. This could be a chance of achieving lasting peace and happiness which comes from within and not from the regular stimulations that we are used to.

What Was My Experience?

I just came from a 10 day residential course that was held in a makeshift camp close to my city. The experience was truly magical. First of all there are no charges for boarding, lodging and teaching. All the expenses are met through donations which are accepted only from people who have attended at least one 10 day residential course. The teachers, servers or the organizers don't make any monetary gains from the proceeds of the donations. All the donation money is used to provide food for the next batch of students who take the course. You get simple and tasty vegetarian food and there are Vipassana servers all around to help you in any way that you would need it. The boarding and lodging is provided by the organizers. The only thing that they ask from you is to remain in discipline according to that described in the course schedule.

Sit a 10-day course

This is my small effort to forward the cause of Vipassana Meditation and universal humanity in return of the benefits that I got by practicing the technique. Visit the official website dhamma.org and sit in a 10 day course and you will see the benefits for yourself. May all get the benefits of this wonderful technique.
