Maintaining a regular practice is essential for strengthening mindfulness. The Buddha often emphasized the importance of the Sangha, the group of people who practice together so that the practice can bear fruit.
The regular practices with Fabrizio Giuliani are open to everyone who already has an established practice, has participated in one of Fabrizio's seminar or has some meditation experience. If you are not sure please call me to have a chat: +39.371.333.23.53
### Vipassana Meditation - also known as mindfulness
Vipassana is a meditation technique in the Theravada Buddhist tradition.
It means "clear seeing", perceiving the world as it is, not as we think it is—filtered by conceptual notions and conditioning.### Suffering emerges through meditation
Many people who begin meditating find that the symptoms they hoped to heal actually seem to worsen and regretfully think that meditation doesn't work or isn’t for them. However, the truth is the opposite.
With practice, the suffering of existence, which we hide with constant distractions, begins to emerge and reveal itself—we become aware of it. The goal is not to rid ourselves of these sensations but to make them our companions—one of the most difficult things in the world but also the most courageous path, leading to great rewards.
We spend our lives running from what we dislike and clinging to what we love. But this is ultimately a recipe for unhappiness because, whether we like it or not, we do not control external events. What we love, by its very nature impermanent, arises, lives, and dies, leaving us, while what we hate sometimes parks itself in our lives and lingers too long.### The Key to Peace
This is the nature of suffering, but it is also the cure. We must—and can—teach our minds that we can live with everything. In fact, this is the key to peace and well-being.
Vipassana, insight (clear seeing of reality as it truly is, rather than as a mental construct), develops wisdom—not intellectual wisdom, but intuitive wisdom, which the mind cannot grasp on a cognitive level.
Books on Buddhism are invaluable resources, but they cannot replace direct meditation practice on the cushion and in daily life.***
