According to Osho, when Vipassana brings pain and suffering, it signals the method has been torn from its living context—Buddha’s unique life of fulfilled luxury and utter renunciation. Without that background and right guidance, the technique becomes self‑torture, not liberation. Meditation must fit your inner situation; choose approaches aligned with your reality rather than imitating an alien path.
If Vipassana hurts, it’s likely the wrong fit or missing context—don’t punish yourself; use a practice that suits your life.
