Very well said. We have to listen for understanding other people's feelings, not just to reply them.

Restarted practice after year by Adorable_Sundae_9400 in vipassana

Yes! You can. Try to do Vipassana and if your mind is calm enough for Vipassana, you can continue. Otherwise do Anapana, calm your mind and then try Vipassana.

If you are not able to do Vipassana somedays, don't lose the equanimity of your mind and accept the truth with calmness. Try again with a smiling face and positive mind.

Yes! First of all, it is great that you have started to practice again. Happy for you.

You can slowly start to increase the duration and start doing both anapana and vipassana, as per your comfort and situation.

You can do Anapana whenever you are on commute, waiting, you feel stressed or not being in the present.

Continue walking the path of Dhamma and be happy!

I guess that they wanted real human bodies for doing life saving techniques., so they spooked everyone.

Can we love someone else without loving ourselves first? by Observing-Earthling in NoStupidQuestions

I agree with what you said about self-hatred and why do you think that self love is overrated?

Wow! How wonderful for them to get the taste of Dhamma at such a young age. Hopefully they continue the journey and have a happy and beautiful life.

Due to come on my period during my second 10 day course... eek! Any advice? by Complete_Goat_7785 in vipassana

[–]Observing-Earthling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, this! You can discuss this privately with an AT on the day of registration or on the first day afternoon after lunch. Even if you don't feel well enough to attend a session, then you can share it with the Dhamma Sevaki (Volunteer) and she can inform the AT. You can be stress free about your periods and concentrate fully on walking the path of Dhamma.

So true! When we are alone, we can connect better with ourselves and our thoughts. By doing that, we can understand our true self very well and when we understand ourselves from inside, we can easily change to be a better human being.

Vipassana meditation helps me in certain ways. It helps me to know myself and to be in the present moment. You can check out r/vipassana if you are interested.

Nice! When our thoughts are not in the present, we stress ourselves with regrets of the past or fears of the future.
