26 centuries earlier, there was a great philosopher known Siddhartha Gautama, later became popular as Gautama Buddha.<\/p>

After 6 years of research, he came to the conclusion that \u201cevery input our mind receives through the sense organs invokes a sensation in our body to which we all are blindly reacting \u201c.<\/p>

We actually react to the sensations happening in our body and not to the outside object. Through this conclusion, Budhha gave birth to a mental practice so that people can come out of the blind reaction, which is known as Vipassana.<\/p>

Vipassana<\/b>\u00a0is an inside mediation, it’s like an insight to empower our mental ability to command our body to do things.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

There is a place called Global Vipassana Pagoda, it is a Meditation Dome Hall with a capacity to seat around 8,000 Vipassana meditators (largest such meditation hall in the world) near Gorai, North-west of Mumbai, India. Pagoda is to serve as a monument of peace and harmony. Built entirely through voluntary donations, the purpose of the Global Vipassana Pagoda is to:<\/p>

1) Share information about Vipassana, and<\/p>

2) Remove misconceptions about the Gautama the Buddha and his teachings.<\/p>

“The Buddha did not teach Buddhism. During his lifetime, he did not convert a single person to Buddhism”, said the late Principal Vipassana Teacher S.N.Goenka (whose idea it was to build the Global Vipassana Pagoda), in his article ‘Why the Vipassana Pagoda\u2019.”One will be surprised to hear this and will not want to believe it, because we have been hearing, speaking, reading and writing contrary to this fact for such a long time. But the historical truth is that the Buddha neither taught Buddhism nor made any person a Buddhist.” Vipassana is the practical quintessence of the universal, non-sectarian teachings of the Buddha.<\/p>

Every human has a monkey mind, that always do non stop talking. Through meditation, we need to be friends with the monkey mind and that can only be achieved through Vipassana.<\/p>

Global Vipassana Pagoda organizes a 10 day free Vipassana program for those who seek for peace and harmony in their life through Vipassana at Dhamma Pattana meditation center which is a part of the Global Vipassana Pagoda.<\/p>
