thanks for the info, you guys!

so you see what I have said in anger and honesty. anger his human and it is inside any vipassana person. he is not next in line for the 'honour' of buddha. vipassana is not the holy grail. I should know because I have been practising for 13 years although not saintly( a saint doesn't need to practise does he?). Its a paradox. How can you expect someone to practise like a saint if he isnt one to start with? This is why I place my justified doubt on sainthood. Most of the humans on this planet are not saints so how can they do these stupid 2 1/2 hours a day meditation and live their family lives and work? Its crap. The answer is go the your local fix er up vipassana centre and sit on your ass for 10 days then work in the kitchen with people who are either nice or treat you like shit. Isnt it easier in the real world? At least you can earn money for putting up with bitchy people. Vipassana cult cant zap you with a beam and make you a buddha. They say 'you cant be carried on a shoulder' that is in real life also. That is not new. You can take your snooty vipassana cult and shove it right up your ass. It is a failure...oh why? Because it does not deliver what is promises for the effort. It is a snooty caste system. It is straight out of gold old friggen India.
