Vipassana Meditation Short Intro

A short video from www.dhamma.org about the observation of breath and bodily sensations in the technique of vipassana meditation.

The entire practice is actually a mental training. Just as we use physical exercises to improve our bodily health, Vipassana can be used to develop a healthy mind.

Because it has been found to be genuinely helpful, great emphasis is put on preserving the technique in its original, authentic form. It is not taught commercially, but instead is offered freely. No person involved in its teaching receives any material remuneration.

There are no charges for the courses - not even to cover the cost of food and accommodation. All expenses are met by donations from people who, having completed a course and experienced the benefits of Vipassana, wish to give others the opportunity to benefit from it also.

Of course, the results come gradually through continued practice. It is unrealistic to expect all problems to be solved in ten days. Within that time, however, the essentials of Vipassana can be learned so that it can be applied in daily life. The more the technique is practiced, the greater the freedom from misery, and the closer the approach to the ultimate goal of full liberation. Even ten days can provide results which are vivid and obviously beneficial in everyday life.

All sincere people are welcome to join a Vipassana course to see for themselves how the technique works and to measure the benefits. Vipassana Courses are even being conducted in prisons, with great success and wonderful benefits for the inmates who participate. All those who try it will find Vipassana to be an invaluable tool with which to achieve and share real happiness with others.

@JaguarEarlobe that's why it is VERY important and crucial that applicants write down HONESTLY their physical and psychological conditions in the application form prior the course.

WARNING - although this 10 day course can be extremely beneficial, one day i will do one.. I have ready many stories and have personal friends who have had extreme problems. People lose they're minds and end up ni deep depressions. suicide has been known as a result. This seems to be the case with people who are at all psychologically unstable... which is hard to determine in yourself, as grwoing up in a western (I hat e that phrase) civilisation cant fail to give you psychological delusions

If you are a truth seeker, search "Truth Contest" in Google and click on the 1st result, then open The Present and read what it says. Everyone needs to see this. The Present will turn this world right-side up if it reaches enough people.

Faith in Jesus is the answer to everything.
