My 10 days of silence with Vipassana
- gradschool 10y agoI'm a big fan of Vipassana meditation, having attended a ten day retreat some years ago partly because of post on HN describing it as a defrag for your mind. The claim by the author that it purports to be the "one true path" is perplexing, but sounds like it may have been her interpretation of the instructions to participants not to combine it with other techniques or practices for the duration of their stay as an experiment. I was impressed on the contrary by the invitation to take what one likes about it and leave the rest.
