Vipassana and its Significance




One of the foremost contributions to the spiritual world comes from Buddha, and this is Vipassana. This technique was rediscovered by the Buddha more than 2,500 years ago and was taught by him as a remedy for universal ills. The technique basically teaches us how to see things as they really are by being mindful about our breath.

Vipassana Meditation is a way of self-transformation through self-observation. It focuses on the deep interconnection between the mind and the body, which can be experienced directly by disciplined attention to the physical sensations that form the life of the body. Through this practice, the life of the mind is conditioned. It is this observation-based, self-exploratory journey to the common root of the mind and body that dissolves the mental impurities, resulting in a balanced mind, full of love and compassion.


The scientific laws that operate one’s thoughts, feelings and judgements and sensations become clear. Through direct experience, the nature of how one grows or regresses, how one produces suffering or frees himself from suffering is understood. Life becomes characterized by increased awareness, non-delusion and self-control.
