    Vipassana Meditation

    Vipassana Meditation was discovered by Lord


    Buddha, and it is the only path that leads the meditator
    with righteous practice to be gradually liberated from
    influence of defilements.
    Vipassana is a combination of the words Vi and
    Passana.
    Vi means clear, true, superb, Passana means
    seeing, direct perception and right view (wisdom). So, the
    meaning of Vipassana is as the following:
    1. seeing clearly or with wisdom the materiality and
    mentality (rupa-nama), and the Noble Truths
    (Ariyasacca);
    2. insight into the Three Common Characteristics
    impermanence, state of suffering or being
    oppressed, and state of being not self
    (Tilakkhana), and the Dependent Origination
    (Paticcasamuppada);
    3. seeing extraordinary or incredible things (seen
    while meditating).

    Kammatthana is a combination of the words


    Kamma and Thana.
    1. Kamma means action or deed, this pertains to
    an effort to cultivate superior mental states for
    purifying the mind from the defilements which
    are the root cause of all kinds of suffering.
    2. Thana means base or station, this pertains to
    the objects of Vipassana Meditation which are
    the Five Aggregates (Khandha 5), internal and
    external sense-fields (Ayatana 12), Elements
    (Dhatu 18), Faculties (Indriya 22), the
    Dependent Origination (Paticcasamuppada 12),
    and the Four Noble Truths (Ariyasacca 4) as a
    base or station for developing Vipassana
    Meditation in accordance with the Four
    Foundations of Mindfulness (Kayanupassana,
    Vedananupassana, Cittanupassana, and Dhammanupassana).
