I was on a 10 day course. “Vipassana” there means to slowly scan your body (surface) and to observe the sensations, as they come, as they go. There is no other meditation object than the breath and the body sensations.
Before one starts the “vipassana” one is trained over 3 days in “anapana” (observing of the breath, in/out). This is to calm down the mind.
One learns also the mundane version of metta bhavana… “may all beings be happy …”
At the end of each day is a dhamma discourse with more or less mundane explanations e.g. about a “store of sankharas”, which have to be removed. I do not know the details anymore. It is a course for beginners and the content should be easy to grasp I guess.
As I was new to the matter, I did not ask the teacher about any details.
After the course I had so many questions that I searched through the web and found Lal’s website, which enabled me to gain real insight.
