About Vipassana
Vipassana, also known as Insight Meditation is a simple and direct practice based on moment-to-moment awareness, a technique that trains the mind to open to the present with goodwill, compassion, joy, and equanimity. The Buddha taught this practice 2600 years ago as a central tool for the spiritual path and encouraged practitioners to “look and see for yourself.”
