Vipassana

The goal of vipassana practice is to cultivate the mindful, non-reactive

observation of bodily and mental processes so as to develop an

increasing thorough awareness an awareness undistorted by our usual

desires, fears and views of the true nature of these processes, that

they are impermanent, that they are without self and therefore involving

suffering on our part until we learn to let go. It is through mindful observation

of what is actually there that the delusion that makes us perceive what

is impermanent and transient as permanent and lasting is gradually

dispelled. Liberation consists in experiencing and understanding fully

and clearly that everything is impermanent and seeing that there is

quite literally nothing to worry about
