Doing Time Doing Vipassana - Full official version 

dhamma work done by me. I am thankful of dhamma who provide me such a meritorious work in Tihar Prison in 1994.Rajendra Kumar Dy.Supdt.Prisons

This is really touching. I shed tears when the prisoners are able to look within and transform themselves. Many of us are no different from them as we are prisoners of our sufferings too.

Kiran Bedi is a legend.

Amazing film. Should be shown in schools as well as prisons. As the film states in the beginning "We are all prisoners, undergoing a life sentence, imprisoned by our own minds, we are all seeking parole, being hostages of our anger, fear, desire, etc.".....This film is deeply moving and can be life changing.

I did my Vipassana in 2013 in Hyderabad. My wife and I did it together while living separately in the Ashram premise. It was a ver wonderful experience. You will live as if you are alone. Very tough, but very very fruitful. It changed my life.

Awesome , I wish it was in our prison system here in Australia . I have recently completed a 10 day & then a 3day course and in a few weeks doing another 10day course and I would say my life has completely changed for the better in so many ways . Thank you Vipassana....you have given me a new life .....

Thank you people for making this amazing documentary film.

I completed two 10 days Vipassana meditation course that change..My Life...And way of thinking...Now feel peace of mind... Everyone should do ...This course.....

My first Vipassana course in 1972 changed my life. I'm sure I'd have been dead many years ago without it, instead of leading a more harmonious and productive life which has included since 1973 giving voluntary service to help others gain the benefits of the technique, while also being an economic policy adviser to Australian Prime Ministers and state Premiers, as well as raising a family. In respect of prisons, my direct experience is only one night on remand in Brixton, but I know that repeat offenders have entrenched anti-social habit patterns, harmful for them and harmful for society; as we all do, to a lesser extent. Vipassana is the only thing I know which can change these habit patterns. And the film is excellent.

A beautiful film, I saw it at the end of 10 day Vipasanna course and I could not hold my tears. Such a powerful message and feelings in the video. A jailer hugging the prisoner and giving them touch of humanity and saying it's ok come out of your misery now we are all one. Never seen so much love and compassion between jailer and prisoner. Am so lucky to have done this course and experience

Sadhu, Sadhu, Sadhu. Beautiful movie, so emotional ending to see many people become released.

Vipassana is deceivingly revolutionary. It should be taught in more places.

🙏🙏🙏 I cried many times while watching this video

"You are the percentage." This is a course that should be mandatory all over N. America, specifically. Thanks for making this available here on RU-vid. Awesome!

I have completed a course as well over New Years 18/19 in Triebel, Germany. It was the best and most valuable experience of my life, though also one of the hardest. I would and am recommending it to everyone!

So moving....Kudos to Kiran Bedi!!!. You are an extraordinary woman. And kudos to all the prisoners, wardens and everybody involved in the project. This documentary inspired me to enroll in a 10 day course. Thank you again.

An eye-opening documentary...was in tears !

The movie in itself is like meditation, the music the way people are saying things, the sound of breath everything gets me into meditation, thank you for making it and leaving such a gem for the world to enjoy it.

I watched it after watching Kiran bedi on Ted. I m thankful to her. Thankful to meditation. N really really surprised after seeing a lot of different comments from different countries... This is really amazing.

Amazing👌thank you very much Goenka because really, Vipassana change the world. Every person in the universe...do a Vipassana and feel the change.Thanks Thanks Thanks Dhamma

I love this. This film is so good! Thank you Kiran Bedi for treating the inmates as human beings just like us. Thank you for giving them a chance to enter the door of peace for themselves and others. You genuinely care for the prisoners to reform themselves in an effective way. May all prisoners in the world find happiness❤️

BRILLIANT !!! Many thanks to Kiran Bedi..Great job Great thought....Madam.

ek number documentary(i cried cried cried)loved the film

Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu .Thank you people for making this amazing documentary film.

Wow! What an inspiring film. To the filmmakers I bow and say, Todah Rabah!! You have done great work.

This video inspire me very much, I am Cambodian. I already take 3 course of ten days Vipassana.

The highest blessing they received staying inside the prison, which many do not receive staying outside the prison!

A month ago I did one month in state 1 prison. I practiced meditating for a year prior to that. When I got to jail first I was locked down in a cell 23 hours and 50 minutes, only let out 10 minutes a day. Mentally it was tough from being free and running and doing what ever I want to, to being locked in a cell, surrounded by so much negative energy and being controlled and freedom completely gone. My only way out was to meditate, I did it multiple times a day which only thing that brought me peace. The power of imagination is extremely powerful. If you use it wisely it can work in your favour, but if you dont put it to good use it will eat you alive. It taught me to be self conscious and always be thankful for the little things. This universe we live in is amazing, perspective is vital in today's world. Love and peace to all, meditate daily. Remember we grow under pressure only, just the way a diamond is made.

Matur nuwun filmnya luar biasa. Barokallah

Love her wisdom. Great lady

Sadhu, sadhu, sadhu. Thank you for making this available. It reinforces my own first experience with Vipassana that I have just finished 2 days ago. I have much to look forward to and will attend many more 10 day (or longer) courses. :-)

Absolutely amazing documentary! 47:51 That scene was so humane and powerful, we need more of this in this world.

Thank you, thank you, thank you--What a wonderful gift for all of us caught in self-imposed prisons of materialism, greed, envy, self-pity, etc., etc.,

my tear drops i'm so blessed they changed for the sake vipassna. these few days wonder why i just watch vipassna things, but loving tho

Beautiful movie thanks to the film makers, inspired to learn vipasaana...

Best movie about vipassana EVER!!!

Buddhism not only for Buddhist but for all.

Wonderful, every country should introduce vipassana for prisoners. Very wonderful!

Beautiful does the life become from such a God sent course! I can attest to the fruits of wisdom these men gain for I have sat 3 courses in the past and have seen the transformation in the souls of men before my very eyes! by the way It would be a blessing if someone could add spanish subtitles or post a spanish subtitled version so my family could see this deeply inspirational and humbling film!

All i will say is wow what a great woman who kick started it so all can rich enlightenment

Best documentary ever

wonderful video. Speechless !!!!! Many thanks to all, right from organisers to participants. Truly moving one . Thank God.

The way to open the conscience, la voie pour permettre d'ouvrir la conscience. Un chemin à suivre pour aider l'évolution humaine. Bravo pour ce magnifique reportage

Great thing and superb film! Thank you!

I love the story of the Afghan looking gentelman: He seeked a religion of tolerance, it had bugged him to find a belief system of inclusion and he found it in vipassana. Beautiful documentary, and very relevant of insights into the human psyche. Thank you.

The inner power of man ,here we see people just to beginning to explore their strength.

Most extraordinary film ! Thank you.

AMAZING! May this Vipassana Programme spread throughout the World!

A must see to understand the true power of "seeing clearly through!

Om! Sabbe Satta Bhavantu Sukhi Tata! May all beings be happy. The Dhammapada says, " It is easy to see the flaws of others,Hard to see our own. exposing the flaws of others,as one winnows the chaff,Yet hiding our own faults,we are cunning gamblers,concealing the dice." Thank you for this video's teaching on Right view,Right thought,Right speech,Right livelihood,Right action,Right effort,Right mindfulness and Right meditation. Peace and Joy.

great movie! it makes us cry from story! thank you

Luvanon, if you really feel like going, just go. The benefits will outweigh this minor inconvenience (of giving up coffee). It depends on what your motivation is for wanting to do the course. If you have the time, just go. I also gave generously based on my experience with other courses and how much more i benefited from this course than anything I had done. Plus I liked the non-commercial and sincere approach.

Great video 👌🏼 I have done one of these courses, not in prison but my mind certainly felt like it was at the time, it was the hardest but most rewarding thing i have ever done in my life, seeing this video has reminded me to do it again, and keep the practise going on at home, because it is so easy to fall back into old habits ( which I have done 🤦🏼‍♂️) but I will try again. I certainly advise you to do it if you haven’t already, I went to the one in Hereford UK. No distractions, i.e. no phone, no pen & paper, no radio, no books, no TV, no talking etc… far from easy, and not everyone who started the course actually finished it, you need to do exactly as you are told by your teacher and follow what Goenka says on the videos, have no expectations, just try your best to remain in the moment.

Thank you to all involved in this outreach to prisons and in the making of this film; it is so uplifting, heartwarming, hopeful. Thank you.

absolutely uplifting and beautiufl

hats off to kiran bedi. its an amazing efforts done by you. your are simply amazing. keep moving ahead. wishing you most and more.

The best documentary!!!!!!

Such beautiful film! We are all prisoners of this world and we should see it!

Very good and touching movie I have ever seen. Thx to movie director and Mdm Kiran Bedi. GBU all, jk

The meditation technique is incredible itself and how it’s changing the prisoners lives.

The end hit me really Hard! Indeed every one deserves a second Chance. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. - John 3:16 Kudos to the work Of Tihar Staff and Kiran Ma'am 😇 May God bless all of them.

Superb documentary, way better than watching Lockdown.

I saw this more than 20 years ago and I'm happy to have seen it again as it moves me to tears.

Thank you very much for sharing this inspiring story towards human liberation.

Vipassana changed my life for good. More compassionate and more peaceful towards every being I encounter now.

I was rather crooked myself, and vipassana changed my life 10 years ago. I've continues sitting and serving and next week I will sit 10 days and serve 10 days in Canada. May all beings experience real peace, real happiness. Metta 🙏🏻

I wanna thank everyone who has been involved in this project (also the cats, of course 😋)! May you all and every sentient being be happy and free from suffering! 🤗❤

Sadhu, Sadhu, Sadhu! Great and inspiring movie - as the Vipassana technique is.

This heart aches at the thought of all who are deprived of this opportunity at spiritual growth. God has taken most of those things away that wou;ld hinder or distract ie.-marrage, kids, home, work, bills, etc. JAI Maa!

thank so much to charing this video, it make positive attitude and encouraging.

Really touched.... Thanks for this precious experiment and action also... "The goal is not simply to satisfy the traveler's curiosity sentence

coming here from Youval Noah Harari explanations of Vipassana. This is amazing i love this woman

it is damn awesome video and thanks to Lord Buddha who have taught the real meaning of life which comes through "MEDITATION"

looking into yourself has the power of release, liberation and total freedom irrespective one's religion, nationality, color .... if you look deep you will find early Rishis of India, Buddha, Jesus of Nazareth all said to look into yourself...but we looked outside .. those brothers inside the prison are more liberated than us on the outside!

This is a lovely documentary. Thank you for uploading.

I will be watching this over, again and again, to let the information contained soak deep into the fiber of my being because I believe there are lessons contained within for the betterment of my people in the inner cities. Thank You! Namaste

This is my 2nd time watching,i experience what is going on imside jail,why men or women doing a crime and finally he regret and seek forgiveness...vipasna one of best in india which given to world for every human beings...many hard criminal comes out from jail and i saw their life change even better than me not on fear but inside feeling to a freedom to walk on road eat met family etc...now tihar jail is doing so many good things which inspire common people.....

Best solution for mental health problems..🇱🇰🇱🇰

Magnificent. Beautifully done. Moving and inspirational. A lot of us can learn from this.

If you liked this movie you should check out Dhamma brothers as well, it's basically the same concept but for an American prison, it's free on youtube as well and really good also =)

An uplifting film - offering hope to all of us, no matter what social or ethnic background we are from.

That police woman is an amazing lady 😢 well done!

Very insightful video...thanks to my friend Krishna for sharing this link :-)

I remember watching this about 10 years ago. Excellent documentary, I would like to see what they are all doing now with their lives.

Beautiful, inspiring, moving, and hopeful. I wish the world could see this and understand how we can "be the change we want to see" Gandhi. Thank you to everyone involved in the making of this, along with Kiran Bedi's strength and courage for making this incredible work happen!

Just finished my 10 day course of Vipassana mediation I feel so fortunate to have such wonderful time
