I am back to civilization after 12 days. Went to Vipassana meditation centre. here is the link
Good experience and since this was my second time, no dinner :(. i might have lost some weight...
Okay now, serious.
I have been contemplating during my rest time in the meditation centre (we are not allowed to speak or communicate with anyone, so all you have is, TIME FOR YOURSELF".
Basically Vipassana is Vi(special) and Passana(to look), so when you add up, it is to look in a special way.
This method was found by Gautama, the buddha 2500 years ago. The enlightened one did a lot many meditations in various other ways, but realized that it was not enough to purify the mind completely. The only way was Vipassana that could take anyone to Nibbana (Nirvana).
Well, i am not here to explain the method or procedure or Nirvana.
Vipassana, is the practical aspects of whatever is written in Ved, Upanishads, Geeta. Those who have read any one these scriptures would know that i am talking about "detachment", morality, compassion and taking up responsibility and the right action etc.
A question to all of you "How much do you think you know yourself"?
I will be back with more about this later.
