nice that we are understanding each other :D

  1. What is meant by anicca per Goenka technique? Impermanence?
    He refers to the unsatisfactoriness resulting of the incessant search of any gratification in things that have such a volatile existence. The futility of all compound things. He also point out how we create suffering wanting what we don’t have or experience and rejecting what we have/experience.

  2. How does a “body scan” leads to the realization of anicca nature?
    While you do the scan over an over again you gain the experience of change, observing the araising and passing away of sensations; the wide variety of sensations, how they all have the same characteristics.
