In theory one can do a vedananupassana without focusing on his body. You find the equation, "vedana = physical sensations", almost only in Goenka-related translations (VRI etc). | |

| Mar 19, 2017 at 15:29 | comment | added | Mishu 米殊 | @BlackSwing You missed my point - my point is not about if U Ba Khin spoke English or not, he spoke Perfect English as you claimed is also perfect - it's about all we can have a glimpse of U Ba Khin is Mr. Goenka's presentation of U Ba Khin. Do you get it? In my OP I stated "U Ba Khin Vipassana method told by Mr. Goenka" (I will bold it, thanks for the reminder), that's stated with intention to be as much as close to fact. | |

| Mar 13, 2017 at 8:40 | comment | added | Mishu 米殊 | I can't understand why Mr. Goenka's "wheel" logo is of many spokes and pressed. If it's a Buddhist sect, the Dharma Wheel is 8-spokes and a perfect circle, in this case Mr. Goenka's wheel is wrong, unless he has explanation about it which I haven't heard of. Further, is Mr. Goenka ever proclaimed in public he is a Buddhist? A Buddhist take refuge in the 3-jewels: The Buddha, The Dharma and the Bhikkus. But in the Mr. Goenka's one only said: Thanks dhamma. Why? | |
| Mar 13, 2017 at 8:33 | comment | added | Mishu 米殊 | It seems this answer has NOT directly answered the OP if Mr. Goenka's a Buddhist tradition. In meditation there are many shared grounds, incl. the modern chic taught by the health clubs, spas, beauty salons, so are those traditional Indian Brahmic ones, not to mentioned the 四禪八定 (4 Dhyana 8 Samadhi) are shared among all meditators. | |
| Mar 13, 2017 at 8:26 | comment | added | Mishu 米殊 | I don't call myself Mahayanist or related myself to any school, I learn from direct reading the Chinese Classical Sutras. I read some Agama Sutras, which composed most of the Theravadist canon. At the same time I'm scrutinizing the Chinese source too. | |
| Mar 13, 2017 at 8:22 | comment | added | Mishu 米殊 | Mahayanist by tradition is dispassionate to scholastic interpretation of any Sutras, for those scholars usually not having real practice and direct experience in any Buddhist teachings. Mahayanist has a term for them: 文字般若 (wisdom on the lips). | |
| Mar 13, 2017 at 8:22 | comment | added | Mishu 米殊 | No comment on Ven Analayo's article - I don't have time to read it. By the title it's U Ba Khin's method, not Mr. Goenka's - equate a student's = the teacher's this is illegitimate analogy. U Ba Khin didn't speak English nor Hindu, I bet. No Comment + doubts on the claim "some parallel to Mahayana" - almost all the Mahayanist teachings (based on the Sutras) are not available in English or other language. | |
