Disappointing
Just from the trailer I know this is going to be severely bias “investigation” and only sharing opinion of those that have had “negative experiences” with Vipassana. Vipassana is completely volunteer run, free, and has been offered with the best intentions. I have not come across anything as pure as Vipassana organization and I have been to exposed to it all. I have done 7 sits with Vipassana, all challenging but all positive. Healing is not painless and one has to face their complexes and trauma one way or another to heal and grow. I have not spoken to anyone who has an overall negative experience with Vipassan. More importantly every sit, someone has gone home. They don’t force you to stay as implied in the trailer. I will reluctantly listen as perhaps I will be pleasantly surprised- but from the trailer and labeled as a ‘’meditation cult” I’m not holding my breath.
