Vipassana meditation helps purify the mind by cultivating mindfulness and deep awareness of bodily sensations, thoughts, and emotions. It teaches the impermanent nature of all phenomena, reducing attachment and craving, which are the root causes of suffering. By observing sensations without reacting with aversion or craving, practitioners develop equanimity, allowing the mind to become balanced and calm. This practice also uncovers deep-seated emotional patterns and mental defilements, gradually clearing them. Ultimately, Vipassana leads to wisdom, detachment, and freedom from suffering, resulting in a clearer, more peaceful mind.
If people look into the history of Burmese Vipassana Movement, one will find that the current practice of Vipassana was established by the Burmese meditation masters in the late 19th century for its people in Burmese. They include Samatha practice (concentration of the breadth) in their Vipassana practice. There are several forms of Vipassana, depending on the tradition you follow. The most popular form in the U.S. is Goenka's Vipassana. Many Buddhist meditation practices have developed since the Buddha's time, such as Dzogchen and Zen Meditation. However, you'll notice both include the elements of Samatha and Vipassana. Samatha is the practice of complete serenity (or in Zen 'No Mind') where your thoughts are no longer in the way of seeing wisdom. Vipassana is the "clear seeing' or 'insights into way things are truely' that can be gained (endowed) through having the mind calm (samatha). In Zen, they say just having 'No-Mind' is not the goal, once you attain the 'No-Mind', then one must clearly see the nature of the Mind (Absolute Truth or Prajna). In Dzogchen, as one establishes the stability of the Mind by paying attention only to the present moment, one 'clearly sees' the excitation of the mind (thoughts arising and passing) without being involved in the arising and passing. In a way, you can state that Samatha has to be achieved in order to gain the Insight (Vipassana).
When ordinary people asked the Buddha about the existence of phenomena, the Buddha will teach them about emptiness. When ordinary people asked the Buddha about emptiness, the Buddha will tell them the truth about existence. When can you see true emptiness? When you see the existence of phenomena without discrimination and attachment, then you see the true emptiness. If there is nothing, then how can you see emptiness? Only in phenomena, can one sees the true emptiness. Existence and emptiness are one not two. The Buddha said : how can you teach sentient beings about Buddhism if there is no existence? The Buddha then said : how can you cultivate for pure mind, if there is no existence? If a person mind has no discrimination and attachment to all worldy matters and possessions, he is cultivating a pure mind. If he has attachment and discrimination and an impure mind, even the Buddha's Teachings is not Buddha Dharma. If he has no discrimination and attachment, what Dharma in the world is not Buddha's Dharma? Once a person understands the truth of universe and life, then it will be easy for him to progress in his cultivation. Our daily lives everywhere and every conditions become a place for us to cultivate for a pure mind. Dealing with people, matters and our environment, everything we handle or manage, we are practicing the Bodhi Mind. For ordinary people who don't understand, means everyday from morning to night, they are creating the good karma and evil karma, they don't know how to cultivate for a pure karma. Good and bad karma lead you to the Six Realms of reincarnation. Pure Karma takes you to the Land of Ultimate Bliss, the Western Pure Land of Amitabha Buddha. Every karma is created from one thought. If you know how to transform your thoughts into pure karma, then you will no longer be binded by the good and bad karma. Transform the deviated into an awakened mind. Transform the Six Realms into One True Dharma Realm. Transform your worries into Bodhi Mind. Transform birth and death in Parinivarna. All these transformations are from our one thought. The problem is, do you know how to transform your mind? The Pure Land Buddhism practice the chanting the Buddha-name Amitabha Buddha to transform the ordinary mind into the Buddha's Mind. 🙏🙏🙏 Amitabha Buddha
vipassana is an irony meaning you need total attachment (full mind absorption) into present now here to get detachment (full mind release) from present now here🔁
The pronunciation of Vipassana and samatha and other words is wrong. I suspect this is AI. I have done Vipasana for over fifty years and never heard it pronounced this way.

Is this AI? It says once vaipasana then another time vipasana.
Samatha-Vipasyana are the two wings of a bird.

Pick it up, see if it's sure or not, and then put it down.
