The Yoga of Mindfulness

Have you ever done any Yoga?' the teacher asked I immediately began to explain that I had never been in favour of anything like that. And of course that it's incompatible with Vipassana. 'In your state of health you can only benefit from Yoga.' the teacher replied.'You should give it a try. And Yoga and Vipassana are not incompatible at all. They go together very well!' Given the alternative, either to walk back to the main road to Kandy as tired and weary as I was or to learn Yoga and combine it with Buddhist meditation, I rather opted for the latter, but with no enthusiasm and with a lot of doubt. After ten days I knew that I has found my Path. I am grateful to the Buddhist monk Yogavacara Rahula for the thorough introduction to Yoga I received and for a deep understanding of a path I like to call 'Yoga of Mindfulness', a 'Buddhist Path for Mind and Body'.
