Gaea 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2008 Vipassana requires that you put to rest all other practices so that you give it a fair chance (words of Goenka in his video) - well, at least when you're in camp anyway. I found it incredibly useful for peace of mind though. There is no doubt that my temper, lust, lack of awareness and love all contribute to a mental block that hinder progress. Vipassana definitely helped me with this. I think there's no harm, but it depends on your personal goal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
