a man looking into the distance alone on a beach with the words What I Learnt On A 10 Day Silent Retreat | Ep 255

No talking. No writing. No touching. Just 10+ hours a day meditating for 10 days straight…

In this episode I share my experiences on a 10 day silent retreat at Dhamma Aloka, under the instruction of S. N. Goenka where I learnt the technique of Vipassana meditation. Here I share the lessons learnt, the insights acquired, and give my analysis of the experience.

Simply put, it was one of the most profound (and painful) experiences of my life.
