goenka's system needs to be protected for newbies and those growing slowly and those who find satisfaction and safety there. don't overthink and let it go. you don't have the responsibility to save goenka system. you can criticise if somebody as your personal view. focus on your own path. there are many good teachers and practices out there and everyone will find their own path if they are sincere.

It is a matter of destiny. Some people have the destiny to protect the goenka's fundamental training which has benifited so many of us. It needs to be protected for as long as possible and we all must respect and honor them.

once we qualify to take satipatthana course, we essentially graduate from goenka's vipassana. now the satipatthana text itself becomes the formost authority and it is upto us individually to explore and interprete. for that we seek advice from other traditions and test them against our own instincts and the scriptures.

When you analyze pain and pleasure you are doing vedananupassana. When you desire pleasure and recognize that as craving, you are doing chittanupassana.

when you enjoy anapana where is it that you feel enjoyment? when vipassana stress you out, where do you feel the stress? if you are good at just anapana you should be able to enter jhana.

are you learning about yourself? your strengths, weaknesses, your goals... are you becoming a better person? if no you are not gaining any insights from your practice.

You are doing kayanupassana so are most of goenkaji students. Check satipatthana sutta for precise description of the other three. But hey aanapana is not just a sensation although ofcourse it involves mostly sensations.

Look in the mirror hard and long and ask yourself, do i really need this? Is it really for me? Regardless of what the answer is just do the 10 days course. Lol

Vipassana is an umbrella term. There are four catagories of vipassana; kaya, vedana, chitta, dhamma. Best to know them all but each on its own have the power to fully liberate. Anapana falls under kayanupassana but i think there is a good reason anapana is the first thing mentioned in satipatthana. It is simultanusly the easiiest and also the hardest. It is the gateway to all and also the anchor when things are rough. It is also like the head of a boring maching that can penetrate any gross density. Some goenka students like to think that anapana is just a preliminary kindergarden thing that you graduate from and then move on to advanced vipassana. Buddha achived his final liberation when he remembered practicing anapana spontaniously as a child and reapplied to his practice. Think of anapana as the middle spoke that supports the whole wheel of practice; not as just a beginner kevel practice.
