PHYSICAL LECTURE MEETING: VIPASSANA MEDITATION -NEED OF THE 21ST CENTURY HUMAN

We as professionals constantly undergo stress and depression. One of the best ways to overcome these conditions is to meditate. It brings about relaxation, mindfulness and inner peace.

Vipassana is one of India’s most ancient techniques of meditation. It was re-discovered more than 2500 years ago by Gautam Buddha., Vipassana means to see things as they really are. This non-sectarian technique provides a universal remedy for universal ills and because of its scientific character it has spread around the world in a silent manner over the last fifty years, after it was revived in India in 1969 and then spread from here by the late Acharya S N Goenka. Vipassana is a way of self-transformation through self-observation, involving no dogma, rituals or preaching. It helps one see for oneself that one is the master of one’s own destiny. if you can’t put in the required effort to develop that mastery, you have no one else to blame. If you can, slowly but surely you will master your own happiness and spread the same around you. Depending on the effort one puts in mastering the three elements of this Art of Living- viz moral life, a concentrated mind and correct understanding of one’s reality, one can hope to benefit immensely at physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and professional levels. People from all backgrounds and sections of society around the world have benefitted from Vipassana.

Vipassana meditation is taught totally free, no charges for teaching, boarding or lodging in courses of ten and a half days at a Vipassana Centre. All expenses are met by donations from grateful old students having experienced the benefits of Vipassana, wish to give others the opportunity to benefit from it. Like any other life skill one can benefit to its full potential only by practising it regularly after one has been initiated.

• Better control over one’s emotions and stress
