Dr. Paul R. Fleischman M.D., psychiatrist, author, and Vipassana Meditation Teacher, will talk on “The Scientific World View and Vipassana Meditation” on Saturday, November 7 at 7:00 p.m. at UNCA’s Reuter Center. The talk, which is free and open to the public, will be in the Center’s Manheimer Room. Dr. Fleischman, author of Creating Inner Peace, Karma and Chaos, An Ancient Path and other books, has been honored by the American Psychiatric Association for his contribution to the study of spirituality and religion in medicine. A meditation teacher in the spirit of SN Goenka, Fleischman has lectured widely in Europe, Asia and the Americas. Vipassana is not primarily a healing technique, but a window into multiple dimensions within our selves. Meditation is intended to be a mirror of conduct, to lessen attachment to narrow perspectives, and to align our selves with reality as it is, in order to live a more harmonious and contributory life. Based upon the guided curriculum designed by Mr. S.N. Goenka, of Igatpuri, India, Vipassana is taught for free, on a voluntary donation basis, in ten-day residential courses, in scores of meditation centers around the world.
