slowing down, and digital detoxification is a growing Trend. In a time of permanent availability, more and more people to technology-free days or even whole holiday, in order to free themselves from their Gadgets and Smartphones. A popular Option is called the Silent Retreats are, therefore, time-outs, in which participants abstain for several days to Talk, meditate and if possible without technology living.
Also Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey recently returned from a ten day Silent Retreat in Burma. Now he shares in a series of Tweets the details of his experience with his 4 million followers. He loves the country and its inhabitants, the people were full of joy, and the food was fantastic, so Dorsey.
Myanmar is an absolutely beautiful country. The people are full of joy and the food is amazing. I visited the cities of Rangoon, Mandalay, and Bagan. We visited and meditated at many monasteries around the country. pic.twitter.com/wMp3cmkfwi

violence on social media stoked
Many Twitter users pushes the oxygen. That Dorsey praises the country and its people, not to mention the persecution of the Muslim minority of Rohingya, can you find distasteful and ignorant. The military in Burma is strongly opposing the minority, hundreds of thousands of people were forced to flee since last year out of the country, thousands died.
The New York Times Journalist Liam Stack is not pointed out on Twitter that Dorsey going to do in a country holiday, the last year, have committed a genocide, but that this was specifically driven by misinformation and hatred spread by the government through social media. Especially Facebook is said to have played a Central role.
“How do I end Suffering?”
Dorsey was the number of contributions with an explanation of the meditation technique for Anger: “Vipassana is a technique and practice, in order to identify themselves,” he wrote. “It was discovered 2500 years ago by Gautama Buddha through rigorous scientific self-experiments, to answer the question: How do I end my Suffering?”
Vipassana is a technique and practice, to “know thyself.” Understanding the inner nature as a way to understand…everything. It was rediscovered by Gautama the Buddha 2,500 years ago through rigorous scientific self-experimentation to answer the question: how do I stop suffering?

A Twitter user writes: “Jack Dorsey is 4.5 billion dollars and the gall to ask the question has to be able to complete, how he will be Suffering. This in a country, the genocide of the Rohingya Muslims commits.”
another user suggested, Dorsey would start to pay enough taxes to end his Suffering. One other user 117 indicates that Dorsey complains in his narration, how often he had been stabbed during a Meditation within ten minutes of mosquitoes (times).
We also meditated in a cave in Mandalay, one evening. In the first 10 minutes I got bit 117 times by mosquitoes ???? They left me alone when the light blew a fuse, which you can see in my heart rate lowering. pic.twitter.com/rz59Wx9yHF

“He didn’t mention the hundreds of thousands of Rohingya Muslims who fled Burma in the midst of a state-sponsored ethnic cleansing action,” said the woman. The U.S. Portal “Quartz” draws the conclusion: “If the Meditation to make the practitioner more aware and compassionate, seems to Dorsey to be a failure.”
free
Dorsey shares on Twitter also, as he had in the meditation camp live: “Very simple.” During the ten days he had dispensed with everything: devices, reading, Writing, physical education, music, intoxicants, meat, Talk, or even eye contact with others. For this, the stay was free: Everything will be donated to the meditators of charities.
have not Entirely deprived of Dorsey, but the technology is now being criticized on Twitter. Because on his Apple Watch, and the Oura-Ring, sleep tracker, have not waived the Twitter-in-chief. He have this put in the Airplane mode, stresses Dorsey. On Twitter he posts however, evaluations of the Gadgets. “During my best meditations I had the slightest of fluctuations in the heartbeat. If I was not focused, jumping around this much,” he writes. Particularly, he refers to his quality of sleep in the last night of the Retreat. Because his resting heart rate was consistently below 40:
I also wore my Apple Watch and Oura ring, both in airplane mode. My best meditation always had the least variation in heart rate. When I wasn’t focused, it would jump around a lot. Here’s a night of sleep on the 10th night (my resting heart rate which is consistently below 40). pic.twitter.com/9fiz8s8DR5

The second day of the Trip was also his best: He had over paid for one hour only on his breathing and nothing thought of, Dorsey. On the eleventh day, he didn’t want to hear the music of his favorite musician Kendrick Lamar.
For this try to want to his experience to quantify, was mocked in the Twitter-in-chief. “What says the most about Jack Dorsey, is his Faith to its proximity to enlightenment about a Apple watch measure” mocked this Twitter user:
genuinely one of the most telling things about Jack Dorsey is his that he can measure his proximity to enlightenment via Apple watch.

The Portal “Quartz” recalls that Dorsey did not understand the purpose of the Exercise. Spiritual practice could not be quantified and measured. The term “best Meditation” is so problematic. (Tages-Anzeiger)
