SUMMARY:Vipassana Meditation with Dr. Paul Fleischman
DESCRIPTION:In his eighth annual visit to New York City\, Dr. Paul R. Fleischman\, author\, psychiatrist\, and Vipassana meditation teacher in the tradition of S.N. Goenka\, will be giving a public talk called\, “Vipassana Meditation—A Practical and Spiritual Path.” This event will be organized by the Fordham South Asian Business Association and\nNew York Vipassana Association. \nDr. Fleischman will discuss Vipassana meditation\, which in the tradition of S.N. Goenka is taught in free\, donation-funded\, ten-day residential retreats. It combines a focus upon practical\, cognitive\, and emotional skills for living life with equanimity\, along with an additional emphasis on a spiritual path that echoes the teachings of the Buddha. Students on a ten-day retreat are challenged to observe themselves as minds and bodies\, which can be trained to live with greater peace and harmony. They also are guided towards the values of pro-social living\, and activities that contribute to more widespread availability of meditation in the contemporary world. Vipassana is both useful and a doorway to an inspired daily practice. \nThe talk will be followed by a 30-minute Q&A session where Dr. Fleischman will answer questions from audience members. \nAbout Dr. Paul R. Fleischman\nDr. Paul R. Fleischman was chief resident in psychiatry at Yale University\, where he also taught a seminar on psychiatry and religion. He is the author of numerous books and articles\, including Cultivating Inner Peace\, Karma and Chaos\, and Wonder: When and Why the World Appears Radiant. He was honored by the American Psychiatric Association for “unique contributions to the study of psychiatry and religion.” Dr. Fleischman has practiced Vipassana meditation since 1974. He and his wife\, Susan Fleischman\, were appointed Vipassana teachers by Mr. S.N. Goenka\, to explain meditation in the West. Some of his lectures and podcasts are available at pariyatti.org/paul. \nAbout Vipassana Meditation:\nVipassana is an ancient Indian technique of meditation that is now taught for free in ten-day residential courses. Vipassana leads its practitioners towards deep insights about the ultimate reality of one’s own body\, mind\, and self. For more information\, visit dhamma.org or contact gsbsaba@fordham.edu.
