My experience here (among Western vipassana teachers) is that it's very (maybe too) dependent on language and subtleties of instruction. It seems at least possible to teach Vipassana in a way that doesn't encourage catatonia, if "empty" is not made synonymous with "meaningless."

Yes that’s been the pattern for decades. The problem is that the underlying method points in the wrong direction. Modifications and sugar coating apparently make it work ok for many (most?) people, but there are enough whom it fucks up to take the warnings seriously.
