    Regarding closing the eyes, I had another Vipassana teacher who taught it's fine to open the eyes during meditation and said "Most people don't really see with their eyes open anyway." I sometimes find it useful. Any comments? Why do you recommend closing the eyes all the time except in sleepiness?
