I do not understand why Goenka’s method will not lead to the realization of nibbana.
As I understand, if we take any factor (vedana) of the dependent origination chain (paticcasamuppada) and realice his true nature i.e. Anicca, dukkha and anatta, we break the cycle and the whole process collapses.
More info about Goenka’s method:
– The 10 day retreat is only a introduction to the technique. In the long ones you are told to pay attention to your mind, his types and the mental factors too.
– The anapana meditation is suppoused to develop till jhana levels.
– There is an important mark of the personal evolution in the path = “bhanga” or dissolution of the body.
Please correct me if I’m wrong
Metta!
