Vipassana as taught by SN Goenka

A 10-day silent retreat at the California Vapassana Center was my first experience with meditation and had a huge impact on my life. I became interested in going after seeing the documentary Doing Time, Doing Vipassana and knew this intensive retreat would be powerful. 10 days of meditating for 12+ hours a day will give you the building blocks for a life-long meditation practice

Vipassana led by SN Goenka is a point of no return. Life before Vipassana equals the Matrixs' blue pill. Vipassana is the red pill. If you are interested in the truth, in taking off the blinders, then take the course and fully commit to it while you are there. Go only if you are willing to surrender your ego while there and follow the directions to the best of your ability. This course is HARD WORK. Those ten days may shape your life in ways unimaginable--they did mine. An absolute turning point. Which pill do you want?
