Thanks HG. TLC mentioned that form of meditation as well. I take it that you have done both as well. Is there something that you think makes it better than TM? What makes it different? Please tell me more about it. Like why you need an instructor to help you with it rather than learning it from a book or whatever. Has it helped you a lot? -LookingForFocus

I just noticed the 10 day course that is required for Vipassana. It seems like it would be a good vacation or retreat but the ten days in a row seems a bit demanding to be away from home. What was your experience like? Was it difficult to not be able to talk for 10 days? I would probably welcome it. Especially if I could break my old habits and the negative way my mind is wired, in exchange for it. It just seems a bit difficult to be away from the family for that length of time. Everything else on the list seems like it is something that I could do. dhamma.org I suppose enlightenment comes at a cost... <g> <ng> Speaking of cost, I notice that they don't ask for any money up front but accept donations from those who feel they have benefitted from it. Do they put any pressure on you to donate or is it really at your own free will? -Grasshopper
