The Buddha never asked anyone to follow the Dhamma blindly. Instead, he encouraged people to Ehipassiko ("Ehi" means "come" and "passiko" means "see" or "observe,) so "come and see" for themselves.
We invite you to try the practice at least once and continue it for at least three months to truly experience its benefits.

Physically, my body felt light and at times it felt like I didn't really have a physical body except for the sensations I was feeling on the top of my head.
Mentally, the excitement/pressure feeling from the initial days of the meditation has subsided. Now the feeling of metta is more calm in a way without the excitement.
This continues during the walking meditation as well. My mind is more silent and quite with the intention of metta but not the excitement and the pleasure of it. I am genuinely surprised as to how silent my mind has become especially during walking meditation and during daily activities. Starting to understand what bhante meant when he said "life is meditation, meditation is life."
Mr AY *, Mumbai, from an online retreat.
"Today during my morning sit which was from 8-11am I was able to radiate metta for the first hour until my body dissolved and I felt no discomfort at all. And my mind got so quiet and I was able to see just the vibrations that eventually become thoughts and I was able to relax these vibrations before they become distractions. It was so clear how all things in the 6 sense doors arise due to some cause and how ignorantly we tend to react to them and create a mental proliferation about these things in our mind. When none of it is under our control. It’s all just happening and I was able to watch this process for many hours today. It was very beautiful state to be in it even stretched into meal time and as I walked. The quiet mind stayed along as I kept 6ring all the distractions before they took my mind to far into mental proliferation. This is a very amazing technique. I’ve been doing Goenka style vipassana for 13 years and in all my time I haven’t seen dependent origination so clearly"

Just completed this eight days course and returned home yesterday.
I had heard about Vipassana till today, but I heard about this course from my friend from 9th to 16th March and decided to go for at least two days. Now I know what I would have achieved in two days..?Really, everyone must do this course.. This is a very useful course for beginners. In eight days only by observing the movements of the mind, giving a sense of friendship there, a light smile, mastering the art of stopping those movements for a while and experiencing one's own mind free from thought and calm, the joy has been experienced in life... and this joy is beyond all the joys experienced so far. Realized that it is much more valuable than moments. Now I will try to keep this happiness forever by using this art of calming and alerting the mind forever.
My sincere thanks to Manjula madam because I have succeeded in raising my mind by very calmly giving solutions to whatever distractions I had in two days and doing the eight days course fully alert. And I returned home with an unlimited supply of positive energy.

A wonderful eight-day course of Samath Vipassana was completed. I also realized after Supriya's gratefully written post, I also want to express my gratitude. I got to learn important things that Panchsheel and Arya Ashtangik path are of unique importance in human life, I want to practice it daily.
I have become aware of the qualities and defects in myself, so of course I have started to cultivate the qualities and remove the defects. Manjula madam took this course single-handedly. I have taken their enthusiasm, energy and positivity and of course started using it. 🙏🙏
