Vipassana means to see things as they really are, not only as they seem to be. The technique of Vipassana is based on the Satipatthana Sutta. Satipatthana means the establishing of mindfulness. This is one of the most original teachings of the Buddha and through it one can cultivate mindfulness and develop awareness. Vipassana meditation aims at the total purification of human beings and at the overcoming of sorrow, lamentation, the destruction of grief and suffering and the reaching of the right path and the attainment of the Nibbanic state. One who practises Vipassana meditation with this aim in mind, even before he attains the final goal, can achieve peace of mind, happiness, calmness, relaxation, tranquility and the ability to face life's daily problems and enjoy a corresponding greater degree of happiness in this very life here and now.

Vipassana is one of India's most ancient techniques of meditation. 2500 years ago it was re-discovered by the Gotama the Buddha and taught by him as a universal remedy for universal ills. At first the technique flourished in India but gradually it became corrupted, lost its efficacy, and disappeared from the land of its origin. Fortunately the neighbouring country of Burma preserved the original form of Vipassana through the millennia. Since 1969 it has been re-introduced into India, where it is now striking deep roots. Vipassana is a Pali word meaning insight, seeing things as they really are. It is not a blind faith or philosophy, and has nothing to do with sectarian religion. Instead Vipassana is a practical method that can be applied to anyone. Its goal is to purify the mind, to eliminate the tensions and negativities that make us miserable.

Interest in the practice of meditation has grown in recent times, but it is not generally realized that there are many types of meditation designed to attract different personalities. This guide to Vipassana (insight) meditation describes a powerful technique of gaining freedom from all desire. Insight meditation is unique in its own method and does not require a technique. The object for meditation can be any and every thing that is distinct and evident at the moment. In this connection, a student of insight meditation is constatly aware of whatever is arising in or entering his consciousness, knowing them for what they are without conceptualizing or analyzing things into categories. This is seen to be the way of openness, alertness and clarity of mind. All things are welcomed in constant movement of simple, clear awareness and bare attention. In the Way of Insight, seeing and accepting are seen to go hand in hand and therefore freedom in its true sense of being totally free is the ultimate goal of living.
