Theravāda Vipassanā

Insight meditation tradition from early Buddhism emphasizing direct observation of mind and body to understand impermanence, suffering, and non-self. Vipassana practice involves systematic mindfulness of breathing, bodily sensations, mental states, and phenomena to develop clear comprehension of reality's true nature. This path follows Buddha's original teachings preserved in Pali Canon, emphasizing gradual purification through ethical conduct, mental cultivation, and wisdom development. Modern vipassana adapts traditional retreats and daily practice for contemporary seekers pursuing liberation through mindful awareness.
