      Yes, but if you really want to walk the path all the way to the end then you need to use the Sutras and the teachings of the Great Masters to speed up the process.

    Each subsequent Vipassana gets easier, which is proof that the pain is connected to energy within the body. That energy is part of traumas, habits, things you're holding on to and connections to negative experiences and people. The key to the technique is constantly letting go and surrendering while watching with equanimity. Over time the heavy pains are released and subtler more sublime energy flows appear and you begin to feel lighter and freer.

    As a vipasssana, old student who has been practicing for 25 years, sitting 10-day and long courses, serving on courses and as a member of the management team and on a center trust its great to hear your discussion about your course experiences. Some of us old students get together on Sunday mornings at 10am on TH-cam on a program called "The Servers Table". It's a podcast format but the concept is that we are continuing the conversations that happen every day in the servers dinning rooms all over the world. I can't imagine a more diverse and interesting group of people than the members of the vipassana community. Each center is a stand-alone trust run and funded by old students who volunteer their time and money to start and run these centers world-wide. Geonka taught his first course in India in 1969 and now there are two hundred centers. It is he purest form of democracy that I have ever encountered and it continues to grow.

      I've done six Vipassana retreats, three in Kelseyville, CA, and three retreats at the North Fork center in the Sierra Nevada.
      At the time, I was teaching in a year round school, and the schedule was perfect for having the time to go. My last course was 15 years ago.
      I'm now retired, and want to go back again. I'm now living in NY State, and there's a center up in Ontario, Canada I'm thinking of going to.
      I learned so much about myself and my mind - and my relationship with pain.
      I will always be grateful for those experiences,
      and hope to go back again.
      Thanks for going and reporting on this most remarkable human experience!

    As a lifetime Buddhist practitioner, I recommend this 10-day Vipassana meditation just like you guys. I also attended the retreat a long time ago and I am a proponent for everyone to at least try it out. However, I would like to make one correction. Vipassana meditation practice (there are various forms, and Goenka's is one of them) is not the original meditation from the Buddha. The original teaching includes Samatha Vipassana. Samatha is the practice of cultivating the mind (using Anapanasati) to complete serenity (complete peace or no-mind) so we can gain Vipassana (Insight) into Reality (Impermanence and Non-Self). I just wanted to ensure people are informed with the correct information on Buddha-Dharma. Thanks for sharing the insights you gained from the retreat.

      @@kizryuver it's difficult to explain in detail in this comment but I do want to share that many practices have been developed since the Buddha's time for Awakening (Liberation). As the Buddha-Dharma and its practices moved over to western countries, the dilution was inevitable since many teachers wanted to expose the Dharma to many and provided diluted versions to help westerners take their first steps into Buddhism. Many enter the popular Mindfulness Meditation for stress relief but I hope people will go in deeper to understand that foundational knowledge and practices so they can go deeper, which will lead people out of suffering. The fundamental teachings of Buddha must be understood correctly to build Right View/Understanding, which then creates Right Intention for the practice. Too many nowadays are practicing for the sake of practicing and it's only wasting their time and sometimes leading people to dark side of meditation. We must at least understand following - 1) Three Marks of Existence (Impermanence, Non-Self, Suffering) 2) Four Noble Truths , 3) Dependent Origination. Then one can develop Right Intention and apply appropriate practices to cultivate their minds and let go all afflictions for liberation.

    • @nonself-onlykarma
      @nonself-onlykarma 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      To add, the current version of Vipassana practice is very helpful in realizing Anicca, Impermanence of our body and mind - IF you practice it correctly. That is a big step towards ultimate liberation. One must not only understand Impermanence but have 'penetrating' insights into the Impermanence nature of all that exists. That help one to also understand the non-self and interdependent arising of all that is, which can be termed as "emptiness". Once you have penetrating insights into Emptines then you would no longer have to suffer since you would understand everything is in existence of karmic dependence of everything else. The most direct method of practice is Zen Inquiry of "What is this (I-ness)?" which cuts through the illusory of individuality (Ignorance). But for this direct path one needs a teacher who can guide them through all the traps of the mind. In fact, everyone meditating should be under close guidance of a teacher who has been through ups and downs of meditation.

It is important to experience the kingdom of heaven within your own being. And what you are at the core never changes. You are always perfect peace, perfect love and perfect joy. You are always bliss and complete freedom. Those eternal attributes and qualities are your eternal nature and they can always be felt and experienced as long as nothing is blocking or distorting that from being felt. It definitely matters that we express what we are, our true nature, because that expression causes growth and when we grow that growth is permanent. All States of being and all states of consciousness are within you right now. Accessing them and experiencing them requires inner exploration. The keeping and the having of desirable external things and external experiences is a wonderful bonus. And are simply reflections of your Inner World and your intentions.

The one near Dallas, TX, is great too, but I think the Mass. center is more strict, and so you have a better foundation. My FAVORITE is the non-center in Fishkill, NY-- it's a Campground, but the NATURE IS OFF THE CHARTS. You literally FEEL like you are in HEAVEN. Nature all around you. The campsite is in the hills, surrounded by Forest. Incredible. I went last year (course #5) and this year (course #6). I can not wait to do my 7th course!!!

    I need to do it again, I just turned 29 and I think it’s time to “reset” and go through a struggle in order to find the path I was once on.

    My favorite spiritual teacher/pointer is Rupert Spira. He has many great videos on TH-cam, mostly of his retreats wherein he answers deep spiritual questions in very clear and profoundly illuminating as well as entertaining ways. He's such a truly kind, dear man, and such an inspiration and pleasure to watch and listen to. He guides the attendees in meditation, I believe it is Vipassana. But I can't do such meditation, I'm far too traumatized for that, with my CPTSD and ADHD. I meditate in solitude and silence, lying down, in comfort, warmth. My intense emotional pain and my lifelong "grayout" is all the challenge I can handle at this time. I meditate for many hours daily, it's my salvation. Thanks for explaining Vipassana, I had no idea what it is.

      I have ADHD, and can't imagine sitting in pain for days. I did a dark retreat for 7 days -- I sealed a room jet black for 7 days, with absolutely no light coming in. And it was absolutely amazing. My entire procedure was: (1.) Darken the room. (2.) Get into it. (3.) Wait for 7 days. And it was absolutely amazing and transformative for me, and I can't wait to get back to it again, for a few days longer next time. Solitude, silence, lying down, comfort, and warmth, indeed.

    • @Flower-v8w
      @Flower-v8w หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The Wikipedia info for dark retreat is illuminating and has a link to bön (religion). That entry includes the following, which I find very illuminating: "...bön nature, an all-pervasive reality that is only perceived by those who have eliminated adventitious mental afflictions and actualized the luminous potentiality of mind. Those who attain awakening transform themselves into variegated light in the form of the rainbow body, after which their physical forms dissolve, leaving nothing behind. Both cyclic existence and nirvana are mind, the only difference being that those who have attained nirvana have eliminated illusory afflictions, and so their cognitive streams are manifested as clear light, while beings caught up in cyclic existence fail to recognize the luminous nature of mind and so are plagued by its illusory creations."

    “I am the awareness behind the crazy hurricane of thoughts going in the mind.” This is the center point of all Hindu philosophies, especially Vedanta. Next step is to control the mind which is in the clutches of Raga and Dwesha ( desires and hatreds). Once those are controlled you realise the pure consciousness, your true self.

It was not too hard, I enjoyed it a lot and also I left feeling the energy on top of my skin, I felt like floating and I kept an extreme sense of calmness for some days (until work stress started fading it away).

    Siddharth Gautam was not unhappy but happiest man untill one day he saw the world outside his palace. A sage had predicted that the king's son would become a big spiritual yogi and leave his familyand all belongings one day. Fearing, since his birth the king ensured that Siddharth doesnt get chance to see/feel any misery pain sadness...he went as far as putting sexy girls around and all sorts of pleasure to him. He was concealed from the process of aging and how old age comes with what kind of pains...Just one day when by mistake his driver took hijm outside the castle on Siddhartha persuasion. There for the first time he saw reality of life and was broken to the core..that day he just took a extreme concept that "Life is Dukka (Sorrow)"...and this runs in the teaching of buddhism as the main truth.

    In 2006 I did a 21 day silent retreat in India at the Oneness University where I first heard of "your thoughts are not your thoughts". It was only years later that I came to realize that we all are constantly in communication with spirit (a.k.a. dead people) through our thoughts without knowing it. It's so far outside our frame of reference that we don't realize it. Thoughts, pictures, dreams, sensations, all originate from the group of spirits "guiding" us. They could be from one, two or three generations before us, but could also be those from our generation that died young.

      Things are even more complex then that but yes there are "thought forms" (thoughts in energy form) all around us which we can be picking up on and influencing us. We are also picking up things from our true self (which one can dive into the rabbit hole of "who am I?" to try to come to that realization). You are not your physical body, you are not your emotions, you are not your thoughts, you are not even your mind......

    10:50
    This just freaked me out.
    So, years ago, I was practicing meditation while in the shower. I used to love sitting in the tub and just finding a moment of peace. One day, during my shower, I decided to try harder to focus to shut off the voice in my head. And finally, for about 5 seconds... I experienced EXACTLY what was said at 10:50
    I literally remember feeling as I was one with time and LITERALLY could feel EACH drop hit my body.
    I have even shared my story with some of my friends... And to hear someone else have the same experience is... I don't even know how to feel.
    I'm kinda shocked, and idk. I just always thought it was something personal and unique to my life, but this is NOT THE CASE!!!!

      That's because no one is enlightened. Enlightenment is seeing that the person doesn't really exist, so who would be enlightened?

    Hi guys, I have been practicing Vipassana on and off for the last 2 years, 30 minutes a day. I wonder how you deal with back pain? I would also like to know if there is a website where you can find the nearest Vipassana center. That's all, I just want to congratulate you for the video, excellent explanation and very inspiring!

    • @TheFioBros
      @TheFioBros  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      What's up Sebastian! Appreciate the kind words and you taking the time to watch / listen :) Good stuff with the meditation practice!
      It's funny that you mention back pain, we're about to interview a back pain prevention specialist on the podcast in just a few weeks, so stay tuned for that for sure. But for a more immediate solution, one thing that really helped us was sitting on a meditation cushion called a Zafu. You can find them online on Amazon. It's just a circular cushion that makes it a little easier to sit for longer periods of time.
      In terms of where you can find the nearest Vipassana center, you can use their website: www.dhamma.org/en/locations/directory
      LMK if you have any more questions! And thanks for the sub!

      You are just not sitting correctly straight erect like a cobra who suspends his entire body on his lower tail. you need to forget you have body. That comes after several minutes of painful sitting and when breath becomes noticeable. tummy breathing you start with which goes away gradually and gets focused just on the point of meditation. Also avoid lotus position, if it is painful, try siddhasana instead locking your pelvic region. Lotus position doesnt give firmness and erect suspension as siddhasana, to many. From hath yoga, otherwise, choose the posture which suits you best and same time ensures erect cobra like suspended body.

    it’s hilarious how you find Buddha’s journey to enlightenment so amusing when sitting through even three minimal days of Vipassana seems like a Herculean task for you. The level of dedication Gautama displayed it is to be revered upon .. Funny how you even feel qualified to talk about him, let alone make fun of him. (And no, I’m not a follower of Buddha or any religion, but I do find your attitude quite funny-not in a humorous way, though.)
    And its funny how you find your teacher’s accent funny. Ever stopped to think how your own accent might sound downright hilarious to others? Your mouth is simply trained to pronounce words in a certain way, and yet you’ve somehow convinced yourself that your way is the correct way. That, my friend, is genuinely funny to me.
    Maybe it’s time to sign up for a few more Vipassana sessions-not just to survive them but to gain a little clarity. Who knows, you might actually understand what you’re saying one day! :) (Oh, this one’s for the guy in the black T-shirt-whatever your name is. The other guy, at least, seems to show a bit more gratitude for the free wealth of knowledge you wanted that Goranka so generously shared.)

      I wasn't trying to be lovely (the adjective, not my name :) ), and yes, I am judging him-judging his mockery and ungrateful attitude, no doubt. Just like he finds things funny about Buddha or his vipasanna teachers accent, I find it funny how some people beg to learn for free from spiritual masters who’ve devoted years of dedication and commitment to gain that knowledge and share it generously, only to be mocked-no matter the degree. If you can dish out judgment, be ready to take it too.:)
      And just to clarify, my earlier comment was directed solely at the owner of this video-the guy in the black T-shirt-and not as an invitation for conversation. He’s a grown man with a mind of his own-he can take it as an instigator to improve his clarity or dismiss it entirely. Either way, it makes no difference to me. :)
