Vipassana is certainly not enjoyable. Its hard work. It made me a much calmer person and the effects continue even though I have stopped - so I have no hesitation recommending it to people.
However, over the last few years, I felt it hasn't made me a happier person and that was my main reason for doing it. Two hours a day is also a significant time commitment.
I tried other meditation practices but Vipassana was by far the most deep and effective for me.
- rsheridan6 16y agoThe Goenka folks say that the 2 hours pays itself off in increased productivity. Do you find that to be false?
- papaf 16y agoIn my experience that isn't always true. However, I know some meditators who are very active and multitask very well. Unfortunately, I am not one of them.
