> The author I felt fell in the same trap Goenka does of criticising Gunaratne. Author here. Goenka didn't criticise Gunaratane, or even mention him or any other Buddhist teacher by name. The most specific he got was when he was explaining that "other traditions" might teach (what is generally called) 'choiceless awareness' but he doesn't teach that, because the meditator would miss out on the development of awareness in body parts that don't appear in awareness spontaneously. But then he did recommend the equivalent of choiceless awareness practice to be done in bed just before falling asleep, and again just after waking.
