Vipassana as it is
Vipassana is an ancient practice. In Pali, the term means seeing reality in its true state. Even Gautama Buddha, who used this meditation technique more than 2,500 years ago, was not the one who first mastered it, but only turned to the teaching and rediscovered it for the masses.
Vipassana heals the body and soul from the consequences of life's suffering, helps to achieve peace. The meaning of Vipassana lies in gaining freedom of awareness, which in this system of knowledge is recognized as the highest blessing and happiness.
Achievement of harmony occurs through understanding and acceptance of experience, detached from personal manifestations, dissatisfaction and lack of constancy. Simply put, Vipassana is the art of living.
There are several directions of teaching. Mainchanges and improvements to the ancient practice were made in the 19th century. On the basis of a doctrine with a thousand-year history, directions were identified that are associated around the world with the names of their leaders - Satya Goenka and Mahasi Sayadaw.
The first technique is very popular in the countries of the former USSR, including Russia. It takes the form of a ten-day course.
The practice of Mahasi Sayadaw is more applicable in Sri Lanka, in Thailand. Its distinguishing feature is the implementation of meditation not only in a static sitting position, but also while walking.

- distant observation of your body, tracking its sensations;
- knowledge of morality;
- observation of natural breathing in the area of the upper lip and nostrils;
- building benevolence.
The method involves the rejection of any form of communication with other participants, complete silence, long daily meditations (for at least ten hours), lectures in the evening.
Practitioners are provided with an early rise and two vegetarian meals a day. They are assisted by ministers - students of the courses who already have the experience of a ten-day meditation and who came in a new capacity voluntarily. The standard service takes four days.
For those who want to go further and extend their meditation practices, there are twenty-day, monthly, forty-five-day and two-month courses. In Russia, such long-term classes become available only now, after the completion of work on the expansion of the territory and its preparation. The first month-long course is planned at the Dhamma Dullabha Center in the Moscow Region from March 10 to April 10, 2019.

Reviews and impressions of visitors to the center
Most of the visitors are not just satisfied with the result, but come back again. However, not everything turned out easily and immediately, almost everyone felt the desire to quit the meditative course for one of the days and leave, return to their usual comfort zone. Therefore, advice for beginners from more experienced participants is very valuable. The main thing is not to succumb to cowardice and complete the practice.
Lectures help to comprehend the intricacies of the practical application of Vipassana, take a different look at eternal questions and streamline existing knowledge in the mind. Even if you don't hear new information when you visit them at Dhamma Dullabha, you will be pleasantly surprised by the new harmonious and natural systematization.
The first five days are basically preparatory. Monotonous long-term self-observation and the absence of a flow of information, noise, visuals are not just tolerated by people who are accustomed to an active life, often filled with unnecessary worries and actions, but so familiar.
It is quite difficult for many modern people to give up verbal means of communication and minimize contacts. It is difficult to get used to the fact that all means of communication, gadgets, entertaining and thought-provoking books, magazines must be left in the luggage room.
Forciblyno one is forced and, of course, no one is examined, but is it worth deceiving yourself, or is it more useful to plunge into the very essence of the ancient teachings of self-knowledge?
