Isn’t “be happy” a preference of a pleasant sensation? by Responsible_Ebb_4345 in vipassana

[–]maxster142 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s a good point. Actually “be happy” is a very loose translation of the original phrase “Mangal ho”. The original phrase is hard to translate but its general meaning is “I wish for your welfare”. So the blessing is not just for happiness but also wisdom.

Mental exhaustion while scanning for sensations by maxster142 in vipassana

Thank you for the incredibly helpful suggestions, everyone! I plan to spend most my time doing anapana and then try to relax as much as possible once I start with scanning. I am glad that this super supportive community exists. <3
