sit with friends
Dear yogis,
if you've attended the 10-11am PRAN/DYAN class on Saturdays before, you would have some taste of Vipassana Meditation (according to the Mahasi Sayadaw method) which is the form I've been practising. I sometimes sit with the following lovely group of people from the Vipassana Meditation Centre. Sayadaw (Burmese term for Shi Fu) is a kindly patient teacher with an sense of humour that will catch you by surprise... You will feel grounded with his straightforward instruction, and yet inspired by the dedication of the other fellow meditators to their practice. Group sitting is something I seriously recommend if you want to add momentum to your practice. If you find it hard to sit on your own in your daily practice, sitting occasionally with a dedicated bunch helps to keep the practice going. Of course the by-product of such occasions is that you meet a group of friends in the most authentic of circumstances.
May you have the chance to experience all this and the happiness it brings!
