Dear Jagadish!
I hope you are well! please do not hate yourself! Just accept, who you are and what you are and get to know your boundaries. For me, the year I have described was amazing! I have learned a lot- mostly about myself, but also about life in general. Those are big words, I know, but you have to connect to this world, as you are living in it. Do not feel miserable about anything. Things are happening constantly. some are bad, but aome are wonderful. You love to walk alone and meditate. Well, meditate on the good things! When you walk alone, open your eyes to beauty! You don't need to travel, to find beauty! It is all around us. to me the 10 days of Vipassana was an experience. It was extreme, it showed me, that I can do whatever I propose to do. I did not feel miserable, uncomfortable is more the word for it, ibecause I put myself in a situation, out of my comfort zone. I chose to finish the course. I could have always stand up and go home, but I didn't. That was my choice. You are right about tthat you have to be more positive about things! You should! Life is a game? Of course it is! you have to learn to play in order to be able to enjoy it! More you play, better you get, but you do have to get involved !!!! it is your life!!! I hope you will enjoy a great Vipassana one day! I loved it and it was amazing, (still today I can't believe that I actually did the whole thing) Take care Kat

amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hi kataline I think you made most out over there doing vipassana,not only vipassana I think you make most out af any oppertunity ,I love the way its done,you are humerous,the way you have explained shows your positive attitude towards life.I am quit the opposite way you are.I am silent,I dont talk much(prett shy),I love to walk alone,I love meditation,I love LORD SHIVA(lord of cosmos,THE ONE who meditates on mt KILASH),I always feel like ....I have no connection with this world,.... always feel miserabe about my self,.... why am i like this,......Is something wrong with me.To my amazement , after reading your 10 days experience,I feel that what all I am doing is (to keep silent,meditate,eat less,no anger ) except to be miserable,frustrated is a part in vipassana,If I would ever given a chance I would do this not for 10 days but for my entire life ,I would love to do it.Thanks for sharing your experience,now I feel better, I should stop hating my self and loving what I am and with a positive attitude I will see what can be done by me. PS:I feel that all this world is a game and we are here to play it,to learn tricks,to play better,to enjoy it,understand it and not to bother weather we loose or gain and most of all play it like a game "NOT TO GET INVOLVED IN IT"

Round 2
I have to say I quite enjoyed your Vipassana summary. I completed one in Manitoba last summer and I recall thinking to myself "This is the most gruelling thing I have ever subjected myself to!" However the dust has since settled and I found myself meditating at home an hour a day for the most part. I missed, not craved, the solitude of the retreat and the resting of the Monkey mind and found myself seraching the net for another group for this summer. So off I go again July 28 to Janesville Minnesota for another 10 days exprience. By the way I tented the first retreat and was soon to discover I was being visited each night by black bears a mother and 2 cubs! Try maintaining noble silence under those circumstances. Alas this is actually one of my favourite memories in the 55 years I have lived on this earth. be happy Keep sharing your adventures.

Kedves Katalin ! Ha újra csinálnám-csinálom a tiz napot megpróbálom betartani a szabályokat és nem figyelek kifelé, amenyire lehet magamban tölteni a tiz napot. Első alkalommal elég sokat figyeltem a többieket, ki - hogyan van - változik napról napra. Az én élményem iettől, igy kevésbé volt intenziv. Felemelő volt viszont látni, az egyik szintén kezdő meditálót aki tényleg odatette magát a tiz napon keresztül és napról-napra változott át: az egyórás mozdulatlan meditációk után amikor mentünk kifelé a teremből mintha meg lett volna üvözülve, szinte a föld fölött lebegett. Persze nem ez a cél, nem ez a lényeg, de ilyet is láttam :)

Brilliantly written!
I really enjoyed your account - at times I laughed out loud! I have been considering doing a Vipassana course in my country and I'm really not sure.

Ez így igaz!
Kedves Zoli! Való igaz, hogy DK Ázsiában tiszteletlenség a talpad a másik ember felé nyújtani. Ha neked is pont aktuális a Vipassana, akkor utána újraolvasva azt amit írtam róla, teljesen más színben látod majd a kommentárom. Kívánom , hogy neked is nyújtsa azt , amit vársz tőle. Nekem Felejthetetlen élmény volt! :)

Kedves Katalin! Köszönöm a Vipassana "út"leírást, nagyon érdekes volt. Már csak azért is, mert felettébb aktuális számomra a dolog... :) Egyelten észrevétel: A szabályok között azt láttam, hogy a tanár ill. a TV (Goenka) felé nem szabadott kinyújtani a lábadat. Egyéb irányba, ha jól láttam, nem tiltotta semmi (max. az a kérés, hogy legyél mozdulatlan :). Ennek amúgy szerintem az az alapja, hogy DK- Ázsiában tiszteletlenség a talpadat a másik felé fordítani.

Indian Films
Hi Cat, Its unfortunate that the only movie you picked up is neither here nor there. It lacked the fight-romance-loud melodrama-packed usual Bollywood flavour; and also it failed to possess the class and touch of Satyajit Ray/Ritwik Ghatak or the lesser counterparts of the real stalwarts of the Indian Cinema. Better luck next time. One thing more. Happy to know that you have found our Anup a great cook. Don't forget to visit my abode next time you are in Kolkata. Lots of love and best wishes. Susmita
