This morning when I woke up to meditate, 10 days after completing a 10-day Vipassana course, my app told me that it's Bodhi Day. According to Buddhists this day celebrates the day that the Buddha became enlightened whilst sitting under the Bodhi Tree (the tree of awakening).
It's also a Gemini Full Moon today - the sign closely associated with the beginner's mind, opposite the Sun in Sagittarius, the sign of Spiritual Discipline.
And so, as we float along this river of synchronicities together, episode 33 of the podcast is a conversation with Passi. Passi is a man from Delhi, India, who has sat in 29 Vipassana courses ranging from 10 to 30 days in length. He has also served on a further 13 courses. He's now preparing himself to sit for 45 days on January 1st.
We discuss the practice of Vipassana Mediation, how it entered his life (at the end of a decade of Silicon Valley life and in the midst of his arranged marriage troubles), and in what ways and on what levels it has impacted his way of being in the world.
Enjoy! And a happy Bodhi Day to all.
