Vipassana

Vipassana Meditation is like the trekking equivalent of meditation, or a long distance bike ride. The moment I read this about this meditation practice I am all fired up, to the extent that I am atually waiting for the Spore flight , there is no network connectivity in the Hyderabad airport so I cant actually post this, but here I am typing all this into notepad.

From what I gather so far in Vipassana meditation, you are supposed to just be still, sit for hours together no matter how severe the discomforts are. You are supposed to meditate on those discomforts , I think I can do that, it will be harder than a trek or a bike ride, but somehow I feel I am made for these ....I will put up a fight for sure no matter what.

The Buddhist say, The world is afflicted with death and decay therefor the wise, donot greive knowing the terms of the world. Not sure if you can call me wise, not by any strech of imagination, but yes I do like the attitude in that.

Next thing to do when I am back in India would be to hunt down that Vipassana center I had searched for and dig out all the details, why not, let me give it a try, I think I have all the right intentions for a start.

Early Tuesday morning....Many things to put down , but hey you know there is a thing called jet lag....have mercy!
