Some people think New Year resolutions are meant to be broken.
But that must never be if our efforts to make Vipassana flourish is to get somewhere. As we reflect on the year that has just gone by, we might be tempted to look at our failures rather than our achievements. True, many things should have been brought to fruition, e.g., the National Vipassana Council, Dhamma Workers' Foundation and so on. But if we look at things from a less severe perspective, what the Vipassana community has achieved so far is also no small feat. For instance, there was not a single Dhamma Worker in sight one year ago.
