Student Interviews

The guidance and interaction between teacher and student are very important in the Buddhist tradition. Victor offers student interviews for those who are interested in deepening their Vipassana practice. As we study the dharma and begin to practice concentration and mindfulness, not only in meditation, but in our daily lives, we all experience trials and triumphs along the way. Our teacher is here for us.

Interviews are 20 minutes long and the student is asked to describe a typical sit, such as the meditation object (i.e. the rise and fall of the abdomen or the touch of the breath in the nostrils). What happens in the sit? Distractions? Problems with concentration? Are the fire truck sirens making you crazy? Are you planning dinner instead of watching your breath? Are you angry? Happy? Bored? Sleepy? Afraid? Are you asking yourself "what's the point?" or trying to recapture that splendid moment of bliss?

Welcome to meditation!

It is important to remember that student interviews are not psychological sessions. It's about a sit and what happens during that sit.

There are no fees for student interviews.
