It's Zen adjacent, so it seems suitable to share (only found the post because it made it's way to my 'top' feed) - https://www.dhamma.org/en/index

My closest centre is about an hour north, and it's free so how could I not at least try it the first time? I think I went 6 or 7 years in a row after that, only missing last year due to a somewhat prolonged death in the family.

The teachings and practices Goenka ji imparts have change my life and thinking in ways I couldn't have imagined possible before my first retreat.

Bhavatu Sabba Mangalam

I ❤️ Vipassana

If you aimed to sell vipassana what would be your pitch?

🤔 I'm not much of a sales person. It's like buddha said though (paraphrasing); there are many paths out of suffering, and here is one of them.

I have done many 10 day sits at a dhamma.org temple and have served there supporting meditators. I count this among the best things I have ever occupied my time with and if i could just spend every day doing dishes and cooking for the folks practicing there i would.

Top four bullet points on my sales pitch.

  1. it's free
  2. it'll get you high
  3. it'll make you smarter
  4. it'll get you laid

That'll do it

Pleased to meet you.

I do shikantaza. Aka dry vipassana. Aka cultivating fluff and volume.
