Hi everyone,
My name is Ben - my journey with Mahasi practice has been quite an adventure... to SE Asia taking robes, to Malaysia at MBMC, to many retreats and self practice.
In more recent years I've been inextricably led to explore personal growth too and am currently completing my masters of counselling at the University of Tasmania, Australia. I am doing a study on psychological functioning, resilience and wellbeing in short, medium and long term practitioners of mindfulness meditation. And I really need some participants!
That's where you all come in. The survey can be completed online in about 60-90 mins. You can save it at any point and come back to it if need be. I would really appreciate people taking the time to complete it. Your contribution is going to help shine some light on the benefits psychologically of meditation and perhaps dispel some myths about its use...who knows? The exciting part is that we don't really know what the results are going to show.
Please participate and pass it on to anyone you know who does a form of Buddhist insight practice. The link is
