| | Vipassana: Meditation in Action by Dr. Manish Agarwala |
| | While Vipassana is firmly rooted in the teaching of the Buddha, it is not a religion and involves no dogma, rites or rituals. | | | Vipassana is the meditation the Buddha practiced after trying all other forms of bodily mortification and mind control and finding them inadequate to free him from the seemingly endless round of birth and death, pain and sorrow. | | | The Vipassana meditator understands that this is all anicca - impermanence. |

| | Vipassana Meditation |
| | Vipassana is not merely an exercise to be performed in the special environment of a meditation retreat. | | | This interrelationship is the key to the practice of Vipassana meditation. | | | Although Vipassana contains the core of what was later called Buddhism, it is not an organized religion, requires no conversion and is open to students of any faith, nationality, colour or background. |

| | It is through Vipassana that one can attain Nirvana, the Goal of Buddhism. | | | Vipassana -- literally "clear-seeing," but more often translated as Insight Meditation -- is said to be a method using a modicum of tranquility to foster moment-to-moment mindfulness of the inconstancy of events as they are directly experienced in the present. | | | While the core of the Therevada tradition consists of a non-religious technique of Vipassana meditation, the core of the Mahayana tradition consists of devotion to the Buddha and Bodhisattva's, who are perceived almost as gods. |

| | About Vipassana |
| | Although Vipassana is originally a Buddhist practice, its universality and scientific nature transcends religious boundaries as its many practitioners come from many different religious backgrounds or lack thereof. | | | Even a Vipassana meditator has to die, but if one has been practicing Vipassana regularly at the time of death it so happens that one becomes fully aware of the sensations and dies very peacefully. | | | With the teaching of the Buddha and practice of Vipassana, as soon as negativity arises one starts observing the sensation on the body. |
