Five Benefits of Daily Goenka Vipassana Meditation Practice


Mr. S.N. Goenka and his assistants teach Vipassana meditation in ten-day residential courses worldwide. During the Vipassana course, meditators learn how to meditate by practicing intensively and continuously. On the last day, Mr. Goenka explains how they should continue their meditation practice after the course so that they can gain maximum benefit from Vipassana.

Vipassana Meditation Practice After the Course:

Mr. Goenka advises students to meditate one hour in the morning and one hour in the evening at home. In addition, students should practice Vipassana for a few minutes at bedtime until they fall asleep and as soon as they wake up in the morning. In addition, he advises students to take part in a ten-day residential Vipassana meditation retreat at least once a year to deepen their understanding of the meditation practice.
