Vipassana

the Path

Vipassana Buddhism, also known as Insight Meditation, is a form of Buddhism that emphasizes the practice of mindfulness and the cultivation of insight into the true nature of reality. The goal of this practice is to achieve enlightenment, or the realization of one's true nature and the end of suffering.

In Vipassana Buddhism, the path to enlightenment is seen as a process of purification and transformation. Through the practice of mindfulness and the cultivation of insight, practitioners aim to see things as they truly are and to gain a deeper understanding of the impermanent and interconnected nature of all things.
