| vipassana origin: Realizing Change Ian Hetherington, 2011-12-15 Featuring accounts by practitioners living everyday lives, this introduction to Vipassana meditation provides a way for readers to learn more about its benefits. Explained is what takes place before, during, and after a ten-day silent meditation retreat. Each participant follows the same discipline: silence, a basic moral code known as the five precepts, a prescribed timetable, a vegetarian diet, and a commitment to practicing only what is taught at the retreat. This first-person account of the retreat reveals the challenges and benefits of facing reality head-on through direct observation and of learning to observe instead of reacting to thoughts, emotions, and sensations. In addition, the ways in which Vipassana meditation techniques are applied to individuals, institutions, children, prisoners, work places, and fields of science and social action are examined. Although based on the teachings of the Buddha, the practice of Vipassana as illustrated in this book has broad appeal to other religious and nonsectarian audiences. |

| vipassana origin: Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha Daniel Ingram, 2020-01-20 The very idea that the teachings can be mastered will arouse controversy within Buddhist circles. Even so, Ingram insists that enlightenment is an attainable goal, once our fanciful notions of it are stripped away, and we have learned to use meditation as a method for examining reality rather than an opportunity to wallow in self-absorbed mind-noise. Ingram sets out concisely the difference between concentration-based and insight (vipassana) meditation; he provides example practices; and most importantly he presents detailed maps of the states of mind we are likely to encounter, and the stages we must negotiate as we move through clearly-defined cycles of insight. Its easy to feel overawed, at first, by Ingram's assurance and ease in the higher levels of consciousness, but consistently he writes as a down-to-earth and compassionate guide, and to the practitioner willing to commit themselves this is a glittering gift of a book.In this new edition of the bestselling book, the author rearranges, revises and expands upon the original material, as well as adding new sections that bring further clarity to his ideas. |

| vipassana origin: Food for the Heart Chah, 2005-06-10 Renowned for the beauty and simplicity of his teachings, Ajahn Chah was Thailand's best-known meditation teacher. His charisma and wisdom influenced many American and European seekers, and helped shape the American Vipassana community. This collection brings together for the first time Ajahn Chah's most powerful teachings, including those on meditation, liberation from suffering, calming the mind, enlightenment and the 'living dhamma'. Most of these talks have previously only been available in limited, private editions and the publication of Food for the Heart therefore represents a momentous occasion: the hugely increased accessibility of his words and wisdom. Western teachers such as Ram Dass and Jack Kornfield have extolled Chah's teachings for years and now readers can experience them directly in this book. |

| vipassana origin: Adiyogi Sadhguru, 2017-02-23 Shiva does not spell religion. Shiva spells responsibility -- our ability to take our very life process in our hands.'' -- Sadhguru 'Shi-va' is 'that which is not', a primordial emptiness; Shiva is also the first-ever yogi, Adiyogi, the one who first perceived this emptiness. Adiyogi is symbol and myth, historic figure and living presence, creator and destroyer, outlaw and ascetic, cosmic dancer and passionate lover, all at once.A book like no other, this extraordinary document is a tribute to Shiva, the Adiyogi, by a living yogi; a chronicle of the progenitor of mysticism by a contemporary mystic. Here science and philosophy merge seamlessly, so do silence and sound, question and answer--to capture the unspeakable enigma of Adiyogi in a spellbinding wave of words and ideas that will leave one entranced, transformed. |
| vipassana origin: Heartwood Wendy Cadge, 2008-10-10 Theravada is one of the three main branches of Buddhism. In Asia it is practiced widely in Thailand, Laos, Burma, Sri Lanka, and Cambodia. This fascinating ethnography opens a window onto two communities of Theravada Buddhists in contemporary America: one outside Philadelphia that is composed largely of Thai immigrants and one outside Boston that consists mainly of white converts. Wendy Cadge first provides a historical overview of Theravada Buddhism and considers its specific origins here in the United States. She then brings her findings to bear on issues of personal identity, immigration, cultural assimilation, and the nature of religion in everyday life. Her work is the first systematic comparison of the ways in which immigrant and convert Buddhists understand, practice, and adapt the Buddhist tradition in America. The men and women whom Cadge meets and observes speak directly to us in this work, both in their personal testimonials and as they meditate, pray, and practice Buddhism. Creative and insightful, Heartwood will be of enormous value to sociologists of religion and anyone wishing to understand the rise of Buddhism in the Western world. |
| vipassana origin: S. N. Goenka Daniel M. Stuart, S. N. Goenka, 2020-11-17 In a life that saw him evolve from a staunchly religious Hindu to an ecumenical master of Buddhist insight meditation, Satyanārāyaṇ (S. N.) Goenka (1924–2013) emerged as a leader in the spread of lay mindfulness and insight meditation practice on a global scale. A second-generation Burmese of Indian origin, Goenka was a successful businessman before turning to Buddhist meditation for help with crippling migraines. Becoming first a close student and then assistant teacher under the innovative Burmese lay Buddhist teacher U Ba Khin, Goenka eventually felt the pull of karmic destiny to teach meditation in India and thereby repay the ancient debt that Burmese Buddhists owed to the original Indian Buddhist tradition. In the 1970s, as he became an integral part of the Indian Buddhist spiritual landscape, thousands of young people from the United States and Europe flocked to India to explore its spiritual possibilities. Out of this remarkable convergence was launched a global network of practitioners and meditation centers that would become Goenka’s legacy. Drawing heavily on Goenka’s own autobiographical writings and Dharma talks, Daniel Stuart draws the first comprehensive portrait of the master’s life and demonstrates that Goenka’s influences, teaching, and legacy are much more complex than has been commonly thought. Stuart incorporates a wide range of primary documents and newly translated material in Hindi and Burmese to offer readers an in-depth exploration of Goenka’s teachings and his practice lineage in Burma. Stuart further details the trials and tribulations Goenka faced in building a movement in India in the 1970s, developing a global network of meditation centers, and negotiating a range of relationships with students and religious leaders worldwide. This fascinating addition to the Lives of the Masters series reflects on Goenka’s role in the revival of Buddhism in postcolonial India and his emergence as one of the most influential meditation masters of the twentieth century. |

| vipassana origin: Psychology of Meditation Dr. Akbar Husain, Dr. Asif Hasan, 2021-01-13 Meditation is the essence of spiritual life. It is our mental attitude which brings in thoughts and shows us a positive outlook of life. Lots of patience is required to perform meditation. So everyone of us should do mediation to maintain positive attitude towards life. Performing mediation during stressful times in our life will make a big difference. There are many methods of meditation to keep the mind strong and for spiritual discipline. There has been a dramatic increase in the past 20 years on the impact of meditation upon one's health. There are various potential positive effects such as brain activity during meditation, brain waves during meditation, meditation and perception, sleep and elevation of positive emotions and outcomes, and positive behavior have been noted in the previous studies. In this book authors have reported a number of research based on various styles of meditation techniques: Insight meditation, Kundalini yoga meditation, Integrative body-mind training, Mantra Meditation, Non-referential compassion meditation, Mental Silence, Transcendental Meditation, Muraqabah and Tasbih meditation. Relaxation and different meditation techniques including bio-feedback, shavasana, vipasana, sudarshan kriyas, devotional songs etc. are of immense use in maintaining positive mental health. This book focuses on the relevance of psychology of meditation as a practical solution to improve the health-related quality life. We think meditative techniques suggested in this book are genuine in the sense that believers usually experience it. Readers may see what the general path is and the content this book reflects. It generates meaningful solutions of the physical, social , emotional, mental, and spiritual problems. This book will be useful for the students of psychology, social work and health caregivers. |
| vipassana origin: Mindfulness and Insight Mahasi Sayadaw, 2021-01-12 A clear, simple meditation method on practicing mindfulness for insight, which takes us to our goal of liberation, the end of all suffering. Discarding any striving or ambition to attain something, the refined guidance that Mahasi Sayadaw provides in this book will lead practitioners to systematically and gradually purify their minds of attachment, aversion, and delusion and to realize the successive stages of enlightenment, culminating in the attainment of enlightenment (nibbana). Mindfulness and Insight is an excerpt of two key chapters from the comprehensive, authoritative Manual of Insight, which expounds the doctrinal and practical aspects of mindfulness (satipatthana) and the development of insight knowledge (vipassana) up to and including nibbana. In Manual of Insight, Mahasi Sayadaw acknowledged that these two chapters alone offer suitable guidance on our own journey of awakening by realizing path knowledge, fruition knowledge, and nibbana, particularly for those with little or no knowledge of the Pali scriptures. Part 1, “The Development of Mindfulness,” offers comprehensive instructions for developing mindfulness based on the Buddha’s teachings on the four foundations of mindfulness, as outlined in the highly regarded Discourse on Mindfulness (Satipatthana Sutta). Part 2, “Practical Instructions,” provides guidance in both the practices preliminary to undertaking insight meditation and in developing insight knowledge, ranging from initial practices to advanced levels of practice. |
| vipassana origin: Rebirth in Early Buddhism and Current Research Bhikkhu Analayo, 2018-04-23 Join a rigorous scholar and Buddhist monk on a brisk tour of rebirth from ancient doctrine to contemporary debates. German Buddhist monk and university professor Bhikkhu Analayo had not given much attention to the topic of rebirth before some friends asked him to explore the treatment of the issue in early Buddhist texts. This succinct volume presents his findings, approaching the topic from four directions. The first chapter examines the doctrine of rebirth as it is presented in the earliest Buddhist sources and the way it relates to core doctrinal principles. The second chapter reviews debates about rebirth throughout Buddhist history and up to modern times, noting the role of confirmation bias in evaluation of evidence. Chapter 3 reviews the merits of current research on rebirth, including near-death experience, past-life regression, and children who recall previous lives. The chapter concludes with an examination of xenoglossy, the ability to speak languages one has not learned previously, and chapter 4 examines the particular case of Dhammaruwan, a Sri Lankan boy who chants Pali texts that he does not appear to have learned in his present life. Rebirth in Early Buddhism and Current Research brings together the many strands of the debate on rebirth in one place, making it both comprehensive and compact. It is not a polemic but an interrogation of the evidence, and it leaves readers to come to their own conclusions. |

| vipassana origin: Treatise on Wisdom - 5 Tomás Morales y Durán, 2020-11-04 Putting an end to suffering for good does not seem like a really desirable goal. I have not come to get to this. It is not that eradicating suffering is not a noble goal, and it can be for many people, but it is not my case. Practice continues to guide me and I know that I will eventually reach Wisdom, even though I don't even know what it is at this moment. The special effects are not satisfactory and only serve to certify where I am, so far from everyone, that the comparisons begin to become too obvious. It is at this point that I begin to see that what the entire Buddhist world considers valid and supports many of its postulates are collections of recurring falsehoods that violate logic and the suttas themselves. |

| vipassana origin: Mindfulness J. Mark G. Williams, Jon Kabat-Zinn, 2013-10-18 Mindfulness-based approaches to medicine, psychology, neuroscience, healthcare, education, business leadership, and other major societal institutions have become increasingly common. New paradigms are emerging from a confluence of two powerful and potentially synergistic epistemologies: one arising from the wisdom traditions of Asia and the other arising from post-enlightenment empirical science. This book presents the work of internationally renowned experts in the fields of Buddhist scholarship and scientific research, as well as looking at the implementation of mindfulness in healthcare and education settings. Contributors consider the use of mindfulness throughout history and look at the actual meaning of mindfulness whilst identifying the most salient areas for potential synergy and for potential disjunction. Mindfulness: Diverse Perspectives on its Meanings, Origins and Applications provides a place where wisdom teachings, philosophy, history, science and personal meditation practice meet. It was originally published as a special issue of Contemporary Buddhism. |
| vipassana origin: Bridging Thought and Feeling The Path to Self-Realization Harshwardhan Soni, 2024-09-07 Theme of Bridging Thought and Feeling: The Path to Self-Realization The chief argument here is that the harmonious integration of the faculties of cognition and emotion is the path to self-realization. It discusses the relationship between thought-sochna and feeling-mehasoos karna-in their respective roles, influences, and in the balance required for wholesome growth and enlightenment of a person. Key Aspects of the Theme: 1. Duality in Human Experience: In this book, it has been underscored that human experience is dual in nature, where thought and feelings must complement each other. It is what determines that it is actually the way thoughts shape our emotions and vice-versa; thus, it propagates the theory of maintaining a balance which finally helps in overcoming day-to-day challenges in life. 2. Self-Realization as the Ultimate Goal: It puts great emphasis on the ultimate goal of human existence, which is to realize deeply and accept one's true self. The book defines this concept and puts it into context from a historical, philosophical, and practical standpoint. 3. Practical Techniques for Integration: Practical techniques such as mindfulness, meditation, journaling, cognitive behavioral techniques, and emotional regulation will fall in well for integrating thoughts and feelings efficiently. These will lead to the emergence of deeper awareness and presence that will yield self-realization. 4. Philosophical and Spiritual Insights: The book looks at philosophical traditions from both the standpoints of Eastern and Western perspectives and carries spiritual insights from famous teachers. It bridges intellectual understanding with heartfelt wisdom and urges one to adopt an integrated approach in personal development. 5. Building a Supportive Environment: With the emphasis on the need for a nurturing environment, this book charts the ways in which space and relationships can be used to support reflection, growth, and emotional well-being, with particular focus given to community development and shared consciousness. 6. Advanced Practices for Higher Consciousness: The book introduces some of the higher meditation techniques and practices for those who would like to dig deeper, which are meant to lead to higher states of consciousness. These turn out to be some of the turning points in the journey toward the realization of the true self. 7. Continuous Journey: Self-realization is seen, therefore, not as a destination but as a journey. Indeed, the book also invites one to continue with their practices, providing resources for further learning and development. Bridging Thought and Feeling: The Path to Self-Realization is an enjoyable and enlightening philosophical discussion interwoven with exercises that anyone can do on their own with real-life examples. Bridging Thought and Feeling calls on every reader to begin a deep process in bringing the mind and heart into a new relationship with each other to allow a full and wiser life. |
| vipassana origin: The Science of Supernatural Thinking Jareb Nott, 2024-06-04 Do Your Thoughts Invite the Demonic or the Divine? Is your mind clouded with thoughts of depression or anxiety, even anger or bitterness? Have you tried to rise up and renew your mind only to be weighed down by exhaustion or laid low by hopelessness? The truth is that what you think controls who has access to your mind. Even seemingly harmless thoughts can open gates in your mind that allow the enemy to secretly infiltrate, build strongholds, and turn your mind to wage war against the very One that you long to serve. But what's been opened can always be closed. Having helped multitudes experience spiritual freedom from demonic forces, Jareb Nott shows how you can seal off the powers of darkness from your mind and tear down their strongholds, empowering you to think thoughts that host the peace, presence, and power of God. Through scientific and biblical research, he offers a step-by-step process to help you transform your mind into a supernaturally impenetrable fortress of hope and joy! In this revolutionary yet practical book, Jareb not only exposes the enemy’s insidious strategies for infecting your mind, but he also reveals how to: Silence the enemy’s tormenting thoughts. Think the kind of thoughts that host God’s presence. Wield the power of biblical meditation, prayer, and intercession to renew your mind. Build supernatural strongholds in your mind that open the gates of Heaven. Protect your life and mind from the powers of darkness. And more! A deeper dimension of fellowship and encounter with the Holy Spirit awaits you! Stop empowering the darkness to dominate your thoughts. It’s time to dominate the darkness—and flood your mind with the transforming light of God’s presence. |
| vipassana origin: Mental Health: A Journey from illness to wellness S Makvana, A Patel, A Dhingra, V Parmar, 2016-10-31 The controls used on emotional arousal and cognitive processes are difficult in several societies, because of the presence of beliefs in several more issues and forces, which influence the bidirectional to and fro journey of effects between mental health and mental illness. Human beings in general accept only experiential methods of verifications and approval of reality, when they come in contact with their own mental and physical conditions. However, many may still be influenced by suggestions and produce experiences as per suggestions, which may not respond to scientific methods of verifications and corrections. Mental health and diseases, mainly in the domain of emotional health may therefore be affected by beliefs and psychological effects produced from cognitive processes and cognitive molding of emotions. Interventions in the cognitive and emotional domains do often work and changes may be brought out at the psychological and biological levels |

| vipassana origin: Sapiens [Tenth Anniversary Edition] Yuval Noah Harari, 2025-02-18 New York Times Readers’ Pick: Top 100 Books of the 21st Century The tenth anniversary edition of the internationally bestselling phenomenon that cemented Yuval Noah Harari as one of the most prominent historians of our time—featuring a new afterword from the author. One hundred thousand years ago, at least six human species inhabited the earth. Today there is just one. Us. Homo sapiens. How did our species succeed in the battle for dominance? Why did our foraging ancestors come together to create cities and kingdoms? How did we come to believe in gods, nations, and human rights; to trust money, books, and laws; and to be enslaved by bureaucracy, timetables, and consumerism? And what will our world be like in the millennia to come? In Sapiens, Professor Yuval Noah Harari spans the whole of human history, from the very first humans to walk the earth to the radical—and sometimes devastating—breakthroughs of the Cognitive, Agricultural, and Scientific Revolutions. Drawing on insights from biology, anthropology, paleontology, and economics, and incorporating full-color illustrations throughout the text, he explores how the currents of history have shaped our human societies, the animals and plants around us, and even our personalities. Can we ever free our behavior from the legacy of our ancestors? And what, if anything, can we do to influence the course of the centuries to come? Bold, wide-ranging, and provocative, Sapiens integrates history and science to challenge everything we thought we knew about being human: our thoughts, our actions, our heritage...and our future. |

| vipassana origin: Calm Clarity Due Quach, 2018-05-15 Author of the viral Medium piece, Poor and Traumatized at Harvard, Due Quach shares her Calm Clarity program to show readers how to deal with toxic stress and adversity. We often don't realize how much control we have over our thoughts, feelings, and actions--on some days, the most minor irritation can upset us, but on others, we are in our best form and can rise to challenges with grace. These fluctuations depend on the neural networks firing in our brains, and we have the power to consciously break hardwired thought patterns. Due Quach developed an intimate understanding of the brain during her personal journey of healing from post-traumatic stress disorder. According to Quach, people function in three primary emotional states: Brain 1.0, Brain 2.0, and Brain 3.0. In Brain 1.0, people act out of fear and self-preservation. Brain 2.0 involves instant gratification and chasing short-term rewards at the expense of long-term well-being. Brain 3.0 is a state of mind that Quach calls Calm Clarity, in which people's actions are aligned with their core values. As Quach confronted PTSD and successfully weaned herself off medication, she learned how to activate, exercise, and strengthen Brain 3.0 like a muscle. In Calm Clarity, she draws on the latest scientific research and ancient spiritual traditions alike to show us how we too can take ownership of our thoughts, feelings, and actions in order to be our best selves. |
