Initial Meditative Experiences: Part I
نویسنده
چکیده
This is an account of the subjective experiences of some two years of Vipassana or Insight meditation. During the first year this comprised an average of approximately one hour per day and during the second was increased to about two hours, as well as some six weeks of intensive meditation retreats, usually of two weeks duration. These retreats comprised about 18to 20 hours daily of continuous walking and sitting meditation per~ formed in total silence and without eye contact, reading or writing. While this amount of practice may be vastly less than that of more experienced practitioners, it has certainly proved sufficient to elicit a range of experiences beyond the ken of day to day non-meditative living.
