No..... I don't know about goenka,
Are you a Vipassana Meditation Practitioner?
I'm a Buddhist monk,
There are many things in life that are beyond our control. However, it is possible to take responsibility for our own states of mind – and to
change them for the better. According to Buddhism this is the most important thing we can do, and Buddhism teaches that it is the only real antidote to our own personal sorrows, and to the anxieties, fears, hatreds, and general confusions that beset the human condition.
Meditation is a means of transforming the mind. Buddhist meditation practices are techniques that encourage and develop concentration, clarity, emotional positivity, and a calm seeing of the true nature of things. By engaging with a particular meditation practice you learn the patterns and habits of your mind, and the practice offers a means to cultivate new, more positive ways of being. With regular work and patience these nourishing, focused states of mind can deepen into profoundly peaceful and energised states of mind. Such experiences can have a transformative effect and can lead to a new understanding of life.
Very well written. Vipassana is said to be Buddha's meditation. Goenka brought it back to India after finding a teacher in Burma. He has helped developed Vipassana Meditation Centers all over the world And the prerequisite to becoming a student is first go for a ten silent retreat at one of his centers, where he gives lessons by video tape.
