i went to a vipassana meditation course in september 2006 after i heard of it exactly one year earlier while traveling india. it was an uncomparable experience, on the eight day i felt for the first time in my life something like total peace. unfortunately the last day with the returning to speaking and the travel home with train together with some of the participants did some kind of shock to me. this time i will stay completely for my own. i didn’t understand all that chatter and these eruptions among the others, i for my part was unable to speak and i didn’t felt too well as i became aware of my inner retirement and it’s ‘social’ complications.
as i returned home, i was overwhelmed with the ‘actual life’ and really soon faded out of the meditation routine – one fact i felt sorry for all the time. two hours a day seem to me impossible at this point, but this thought also shows me how strange my priorities are settled. maybe this is the most important thing one can do in his life: to find peace.
i will do it again, and maybe again and again, that’s for sure.
planning one for middle of september, after finishing my shortfilm or for beginning of october.
may all beings be happy!
