DQ Series: Vipassana Dharma

---

The most unique is that you can learn Buddha dharma in a sequence.

Instead of a long philosophical harangue, the book teaches us practice down to earth. The three books are all edited by Professor Lin Chong'an. The three books introduce different teachings and steps of Vipassana masters. Readers can find their own way to practice and find the proper way for themselves.

How to practice Vipassana Meditation correctly?

If it itches, scratch it and go back to your meditation. If your neck needs to be cracked, crack it and go back to your meditation.

Don't expect to "get real deep". It takes some people years to "get real deep", and some never do. It took me more than 20 years, and I have no expectation that it will happen every time. Just let it be what it is. Jon Kabatt Zinn recommends four principles to help with meditation.. Jeffrey That's 7 principles, not 4. March edited March How do you "let go" in meditation? Non-striving For most people a regular meditation practice requires effort and self-discipline.

How does this fit with "non-striving"? Zinn also says an effort is needed to take his stress reduction course. The principle of non-striving is a little different. I need to listen to it again I think to 'get it' but I think it is sort of like you are on the cushion and you think you are having the wrong experience. An 'I' thought of failing.

Or you are trying to lose weight and because you have a setback you get discouraged instead of being in the present and letting today be what it is. And then waking up fresh and dustiing yourself off. We have to dust ourselves off a heck of a lot and if we have no joy and loving for who we are rather than what we become its an obstacle.

Sorry I didn't explain that better earlier. There are a variety of techniques I have come across on vipassana meditation. One is to watch your breath and count 1 as you breathe in, 1 as you breathe out, 2 as you breath in, 2 as you breathe out, up to. Do this maybe one time, two times, whatever you like.

Another way is to focus on the breath but focus on the actual breath itself. How cold is it, how hot is it, how slow or fast is it, how does i feel against your nose or throat. There are variations on the counting method, but also there is a method where you watch the breath go in thrugh your mouth, into your lungs and out.

The imagine it going in your mouth and down through your arms. Then down to through your legs and so forth.

I sometimes combine all of these techniques, but find the counting technique the best for me. I have never really tried to much to just sit and be as I do not focus much. The important thing I think is to keep at it and not to label yourself or anybody as a good or bad meditator Good luck, tom. See my second post.

It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with Right Effort- what this all means is that there just has to be a point at which the practitioner has to "let go" of conceptual thinking while doing the specific practice of vipassana. Right Effort in this case might be doing the things necessary to practice vipassana correctly, but at some point in vipassana, one simply has to "let go" of conceptual thought.

You have to make an effort to do that. The example would be archery. In order to get the arrow to go to the target, you have to let go of it. But you have to make the Right Effort to practice how to do that. I'd associate the letting go of perceptual thought more with shamata, ie the process of calming the mind prior to the arising of vipassana. It sounds to me like you're describing shamata rather than vipassana.

Product description

Maybe we should look at the difference between the two, and where they overlap? I realise this isn't easy due to the many different styles of meditation which people are doing. You don't have to make vipassana happen.

You sit create the condition. Anyway thats my understanding from dharma talks. Broadly I agree, but creating the conditions is not straightforward. BonsaiDoug Simply, on the path. It appears from all the comments that perhaps this method should just be called "mindfulness" as not everyone gains "insight.

I think we're struggling with the fact that there are many methods which can lead to insight. This answer is absurd, please remove that comment if you care not to mislead people. Vipassana is a technique that can be teach fairly easily. The mediator then goes through a series of insights, in a particular order. As experienced by hundreds of thousands of meditators over the millenniums. C'mon guys play nice. Kindle Edition File Size: Share your thoughts with other customers.
