Vipassana LK

Maman, Papa, I found what I was looking for in Asia.
Here is the Sri Lankan website (English): http://www.dhamma.org/en/
Et voici le site français : http://www.mahi.dhamma.org/index.php?id=4049&L=2

Some travelers I  met told me about Vipassana meditation. Indeed they had done the 10 day course and had found it VERY interesting. They all advised me to do it. "It's free", "You can donate at the end", "You experiment something really interesting". Or just "You SHOULD do it". The way they were saying it inspired me a lot. I would like to thank Jacek (Italy), Willeke (ND) and Marc (Australia), warmly. After 1 month of physical hard work, what about sitting 10 hours a day for 10 days? In the shadow, in a brand new nature center, with nice and smiling people around? :-P Hehehe! I had been told it was difficult. 10h of meditation a day, for 10 days, noble silence all the time: it is truly very difficult. The mind gets even crazy Hahaha! Some people didn't finish the course, or even left the 1rst or 2nd day. "Finish it", "Stay!", "It is only 10 days of your life". That's what I told myself the 6 first days. Then appeared the point. Yes, it is worth it. The experience itself is amazing. Furthermore, if you want to carry on, it is a starting point for a different life. :-)
