journey of purification: Day 11

10 days of inner work and the opportunity to integrate this inner work with physical work as well as interpersonal relationships and communication have come to an end...

Dhamma Surabhi, morning hours, day 11.

Coldwater river, Merritt, BC

I am now writing this concluding post for the experience as a Dhamma Server on a 10 day Vipassana meditation course that took place outside Merritt in British Columbia, Canada, at Dhamma Surabhi, on Dec 8 - Dec 19.

It is currently January the 2nd 2011, 1.37am. The time since I came back to Vancouver on the 19th of Dec has been intense, with so many many things happening in my life that I could make another blog about them... Or perhaps a soap opera manuscript.
To summarize, the practice of meditation definitely has great impact on ones everyday life on every level, promoting change and growth in a variety of ways.
In 3 days I return to Dhamma Surabhi for another 10 days as a server to further deepen my practice and expand the foundation of awareness that I have begun building through my vipassana practice, with the current goal of rediscovering my capacity to lead a life of trust in Self and empowerment in a vibrantly busy city. A skill that has been dislocated to me for quite a while now.

I will keep sharing my experiences on this blog for anyone who is interested.

Wishing you a wonderful 2011, full of growth, inspiration, and prosperity on all levels.
May you all be happy,

Noah
