An Insight Into Vipassana at Suan Mokk

"Suan Mokka" meditation center in the province of Suratthani in Southern Thailand, a unique vision of Buddhist meditation and practice for visitors venturing to a remote Buddhist Center offers a retreat called "Vipassana" is. An ancient traditional technique of Buddhist meditation for 10 days is silence, meditation thought.Arriving Suan Mokka pm (the day before the course is to begin) allows us the opportunity to address some of the skilled and experienced meditators Vipassana students. We are encouraged to ask questions, while we can. Talk tomorrow.Part leaves the Vipassana tradition is that only with the donation. Must be at a later date, will donate a portion of their time to reach the other Vipassana meditators withdrawal as part of the course and engage in some kind of work around the center, washing dishes, sweeping and general cleaning. This type of selfless service is an essential part of Buddhism, and ensures that the experience is well known by everyone. So now is the time we chose our tasks. I decided to go with big, write my name in the first Rostand.As are the norm here seems to be a prerequisite for the night before. So I'm in bed before 21:00, the silence and natural sounds around me. This will be the norm for the next ten nights.It not seem like seven hours later, but it is, and I gently sleep by a ringing of bells in the air right acquired by the morning. This heralds the beginning of my Vipassana experience. For the next ten days I'll wake up four gongs at the sound of the clock, ready to start the day with meditation and Buddhist philosophy. We eat twice a day, served two meals together, healthy, tasty and of course vegetarian.In between periods of meditation, the time has passed, activities, yoga or a hot spring. Because we are still in silence, is a bit "to the ethereal experience hot spring bath with all others and hot water. The higher the vapor of the earth, we avoid the communication of all kinds, even eye contact. So people thoughtfully and silently glide through the mist, water, keep their space and keep your silence.Sometimes is difficult not to speak. Their eyes meet someone else, and before they realize that they have put into a shy smile, and you're wondering, 'Hey, how are you? "drop" ... If you remember the silence. Gaze.Talking And it's like a natural thing for us is someone who says how you feel and ask how they are doing, or even friendly chit chat, it's hard sometimes forget that they were not allowed to speak. In fact, not only to say nothing of the objectives, but we are also committed to our thinking about silence. single thought or mind, has a strong education in Buddhism and something has to be considered. That goal, I believe, is to try to calm the mind or thoughts, but let's see ... but the mind is a difficult thing, and I'm thoughtful that I realized that I'm thinking ... in fact ... is a difficult process and not something that can be reached in ten days, in fact, for some it is an ongoing search, but all part of the noble silence Vipassana experience and one I'm happy to have lived, even if only for a short period.
