From my understanding of Vipassana meditation, it's not about the 'buzz' or feeling happier and more relaxed. Those are side effects. Vipassana is mindfulness meditation. It's about becoming more aware. It's about fully immersing yourself in reality, difficulties and all.



As far as I understand it you're exactly right. However, given the choice between awareness or a 'buzz' I'd currently choose the 'buzz'.
