Rules for Vipassana Meditation

  1. Don’t expect anything
    • Sit back and relax, follow the flow and don’t be anxious
  2. Don’t strain
    • Stay relaxed, there’s no need to force the process
  3. Don’t rush
    • Patience is key
  4. Don’t cling or reject anything
    • Be willing to simply observe
  5. Let go
    • Flow with the changes and loosen up
  6. Accept everything
    • Previous negative experiences, personal flaws, respect everything that enters the mind
  7. Be kind to yourself
  8. Be skeptical and curious
  9. View problems as challenges
    • Solve, not run
  10. Don’t ponder
    • Not everything needs to be solved, and sometimes, reasoning just gets in the way
  11. Don’t compare yourself to others
    • We must learn to examine this behavior, and replace it with another by noticing similarities to promote kinship
    • We become more understanding or disappointed
