Description

The practice of Vipassana or insight meditation was described by the Buddha as the direct way to overcome sorrow and grief and realize Nibbana, the state of perfect liberation from suffering. This practice consists in the four foundations of mindfulness: contemplation of the body, feelings, state of mind, and mind objects. The Venerable Mahasi Sayadaw has ordered the various aspects of Vipassana into a clear and simple system that has spread widely in both the East and the West. His work explains the key steps in the practice of Vipassana in lucid language. The book provides instructions for the basic exercises to be undertaken by newcomers to meditation, as well as an overview of the progressive stages of insight that unfold as the practice advances. This book offers a clear and direct guide to the practice of Vipassana, making it accessible to those new to meditation and providing valuable insights for those already practicing.
