decision - vipassana

インドに来て31日。

リシケシュに来て12日。
リシュケシでは毎日ヨガに励んでます！だいぶ板についてきた。
It's the 31st day since I've come to India.
It's the 12th day since I've come to Rishikesh.
I join yoga class everyday since I came to Rishikesh.
I'm getting much better than the first day.

ここには1ヶ月滞在する予定だったけれどあと5日で出ます。
1ヶ月いたら大分とヨガも上達すると思ってたから、苦肉の選択。
ビパッサナーという瞑想の合宿のようなものに参加することにしたんです。
ネパールのカトマンズで参加した人に会って、いつかは参加したいと感じた。
ここリシュケシで滞在しているスリヴェドニケタンで、参加したことある人が数人。
リシュケシから約1時間で行けるような場所で開催されてることを知る。
日本帰国後、休みを取って行こうと思ってたけれど、今行った方がいいと考え直す。
I'd decided leaving here in 5 days even I was going to stay in Rishikesh for 1 month.
It was really difficult decision because I thought I would've improve my yoga skill if I stay here 1 month...
And I decided to participate “Vipassana” which is like one of the training camp for meditation.
I first heard about “Vipassana” about a month ago in Nepal from one of the travelers I met, and I started thinking of participating someday.
And I met a few people who had participated it in the past in Shree Ved Niketan Dham which is one of the ashrams where I'm staying now.
Also I found out that one of the place where having “Vipassana” is an hour away from here.
I was thinking of participating it in Japan for my vacation from working, but probably better do it now.


ちょうど一週間ほど前から友人がインドに遊びに来て、
「一緒に参加しない？」って聞いたら参加したいってことだったので、
参加を決意。
申し込み数日後、友人はパンチャカルマ(アーユルベーダ)のコースを受けることに考えを変え、ビパッサナーは私一人で行くことに。
まぁビパッサナーは、瞑想で、人と話すことも目を合わすこともないので、友人と参加しようが、一人で参加しようが、変わることはないと思うけれど。
One of my friend came to India about a week ago.
And I asked her if she wants to participate “Vipassana” with me right after I met her, and she said yes.
So I decided to participate it.
But a few days after that, she changed her mind not participating “Vipassana” and taking a course of Panchakarma (Ayurvedic).
So I'm participating alone.
But it is not a big matter whether joining it alone or with my friend since there is no possibility not only to talk but also making eye contact with others during the camp.


9月22日(月)から10月3日(金)まで、日記等を含め何か物を書くことはおろか、外部と連絡を取ることもできなくなります。
I won't be able to write anything including the diary and won't be able to have any contact from 22nd of Sptember (Monday) till 3rd of  October (Friday).


1泊150ルピー(約265円)いう格安で滞在できるスリヴェドニケタン。
沢山日本人が滞在しています。
キレイだなんてとてもいえない場所だけど、居心地はいい場所。
リシュケシは本当にいい場所です。
ヨガのことがよく分かってないから、私にはありがたみもイマイチ分かりませんが、有名なヨガの先生もたくさんいるそうです。
The place I'm staying is Shree Ved Niketan Dham where cost only 150 rupees(about US$2.25) a night.
Many Japanese stay there.
Not clean but it got comfortable to stay after a few days for me.
I really like Rishikesh.
I don't know much about yoga so don't realize the value but there are many famous teachers of yoga in Rishkesh and it is easy to take the classes of them.

 

残り5日、悔いの残らないように頑張りたいと思います。
セルフヨガくらいできるようになりたいと思ってるけど、どうなることやら。。。
I will work hard with yoga during my rest of staying in Rishikesh so I don't regret.
I want to be able to do yoga by myself, but don't know if I can get to the stage with in 5 days or not...
