(Impermanence Impermanence Impermanence)

I went for my 10 days Vipassanna Meditation last year. 

It was a period where I try to let go of the past and future.

I always look forward to the end of the day to listen to the pre-recorded teachings of Teacher Goenka, which is full of wisdom. Mr Goenka said that there are 2 yardsticks to measure if you are progessing well on the path:

1. Compassion 

(Are you more willing to serve others? Are you more willing to help the weak and needy? Are you giving without expecting any return?)

2.       Gratitude 
(Are you feeling more grateful for everything?)

Thank you Teacher.
