What is "Vipassana"?
ʲôÊÇ"ÄÚ¹Û"? Vipassana, which means to see things as they really are. "ÄÚ¹Û", ÊÇÈçʵ¹Û²ìÊÂÎïµÄʵÏà. It means "insight" in the ancient Pali language of India. ÔڹŴúÓ¡¶È°ÍÀûÓïµÄÒâ˼Ϊ"¶´Ï¤, ²ì¾õ". Vipassana itself contains nothing of a sectarian nature, and can be accepted and applied by people of any background. "ÄÚ¹Û"²¢²»ÊôÓÚijÖÖ½ÌÅÉ, ÈκÎÈ˶¼¿ÉÒÔ³¢ÊÔ. A lot of people ask, so what am I going to think during the meditation? ÓкܶàÈËÎÊÎÒ, ÔÚ"Ú¤Ïë"ʱ, Äãµ½µ×ÔÚÏëʲô? You need to think about nothing and only focus on your sensation, focus on "here and now" Æäʵ, ÔÚÚ¤ÏëµÄʱºò, ÄãÖ»ÐèÒª¶´Ï¤Éí±ßµÄÒ»ÇÐ, רעÓÚ×Ô¼ºµÄÄÚÐÄ, רעÓÚ×Ô¼ºµÄÈκÎ"¸Ð¹Ù, ¸ÐÖª" רעÓÚ"µ±ÏÂ/ÏÖÔÚ"This center I chose for Vipassana is loCATed in Saboo Village, ÎÒÑ¡ÔñÁË"ÄÚ¹Û"µÄÆäÖеÄÒ»¸öÖÐÐÄ, ÔÚÁгÇÇøµÄ"Saboo"´å 20-30mins drive from Leh Main Market. ´ÓÁгÇÖ÷¼¯Êгö·¢, ³µ³ÌÔ¼20-30·ÖÖÓ Elevation 3500m º£²¨Îª3500Ã× It is one of the most remote center, surrounded by mountains.

"Every human being is conditioned to assume that the real world is outside, that the way to live life is by contact with an external reality, by seeking input, physical and mental, from without. Most of us have never considerd severing outward contacts in order to see what happens inside. The idea of doing so probably sould like choosing to spend hours staring at the test pattern on a television screen. We would rather explore the far side of the moon or the bottom of the ocean than the hidden depths within ourselves"ÿ¸öÈ˶¼ÓÐÌõ¼þ¼ÙÉè: ÏÖʵÊÀ½çÔÚÍâÃæ, Éú»î·½Ê½ÊÇͨ¹ýÓëÍⲿÏÖʵµÄ½Ó´¥, ͨ¹ýÑ°ÇóÉíÌåºÍ¾«ÉñÉϵÄͶÈë, ´ÓÎÞµ½ÓÐ.
