Vipassana and Happiness
Disclosure: I am not religious
Happiness = State of Mind?
But my mind is a monkey!
“Whoever said money can’t buy happiness, simply didn’t know
where to shop”
OR
“Anybody who thinks money will make you happy, hasn't got money.”
“Peace and happiness comes from within. Do not seek it without”- Buddha
“If you want to be happy, be.” - Confucius
“Watch your thoughts, for they become words… Actions > Habits > Character > Destiny”
“What is the goal of meditation?” Relaxation? Concentration? Connecting to God?
Vipassana Meditation: Purification of mind
What exactly is purification of mind?
Let’s take an example of ANGER!
How do we react or act?
1. Any encounter with our senses
2. Our own evaluation
3. Sensation
4. Reaction or Conscious Action?
Vipassana is one of India's most ancient techniques of meditation. It was rediscovered
by Buddha more than 2500 years ago
Vipassana is a way of self-transformation through self-observation.
It focuses on the deep interconnection between mind and body, which can be experienced
directly by disciplined attention to the physical sensations that form the life of the body.
The scientific laws that operate one's thoughts, feelings, judgements and sensations become clear.
Through direct experience, the nature of how one grows or regresses, how one produces suffering
or frees oneself from suffering is understood.
FINAL OUTCOME: Life becomes characterized by
increased awareness, non-delusion, self-control, peace and love.
Let’s destroy the myths and fears
Vipassana: Non-sectarian Experiential Self Discovery Healing Happiness
