I attended the 10-day silent Vipassana retreat last December in Shelburne Falls, MA. It was an incredibly hard and wonderful experience. If you don’t know about it, and would like to learn more, I recommend you visit their website at dhamma.org.
The meditation and Vipassana teachings are provided through recordings of the teacher S. N. Goenka. And one of the phrases he repeats and reminds us of, is that “This will also change”. Everything in life, or within us is impermanent.
Although there were many lessons, transformational experiences, and stories, the one I’m feeling most compelled to share is about nature.
