It’s Zen adjacent, so it seems suitable to share (only found the post because it made it’s way to my ‘top’ feed) - https://www.dhamma.org/en/index
My closest centre is about an hour north, and it’s free so how could I not at least try it the first time? I think I went 6 or 7 years in a row after that, only missing last year due to a somewhat prolonged death in the family.
The teachings and practices Goenka ji imparts have change my life and thinking in ways I couldn’t have imagined possible before my first retreat.
Bhavatu Sabba Mangalam
I ❤️ Vipassana
If you aimed to sell vipassana what would be your pitch?
🤔 I’m not much of a sales person. It’s like buddha said though (paraphrasing); there are many paths out of suffering, and here is one of them.
I have done many 10 day sits at a dhamma.org temple and have served there supporting meditators. I count this among the best things I have ever occupied my time with and if i could just spend every day doing dishes and cooking for the folks practicing there i would.
Top four bullet points on my sales pitch.
- it’s free
- it’ll get you high
- it’ll make you smarter
- it’ll get you laid
That’ll do it
Pleased to meet you.
I do shikantaza. Aka dry vipassana. Aka cultivating fluff and volume.
