Under construction
Introduction
This is a short report of a 10 day Vipassana retreat attended recently. However, before we get onto the content, it’s worth noting that this was almost a comedy of errors. Originally I had hoped to go to Sri Lanka for an intensive 12 day Theravadan meditation course, however,this was cancelled a few weeks before. Despite having full inoculations/boosters and what I thought were non-refundable flights I managed to get a pretty much full refund. Some 23 years ago I attended a Vipassana course in the UK and checking the website that centre it turned out that there was a course in the middle of the time that would have spent abroad – kamma?
