Vipassana: Observing Without Interfering | Ajahn Dhammasiha | Insight Mindfulness Sati
Manage episode 449431694 series 3403187
Vipassana comes from the Pali verb 'Vipassati' = 'to see clearly'.
To practise Vipassana, we have to train ourselves to watch as a neutral, uninvolved, observer. We can't interfere or manipulate things we observe, just as a researcher can't manipulate the experiment, if he wants to really find out how reality works.
However, there are certain areas, certain features of reality the Buddha is pointing us to. They are there all the time, we don't have to create them, they are part of nature. But we overlook them constantly due to delusion, and if the Buddha points out where to direct our 'Clear Seeing' towards, then it's easier to finally recognize what has been always there, but hidden but defilements:
- Anicca - Impermanent, unreliable, unsure
- Dukkha - Ultimately disappointing, suffering
- Anattā - Not Self, not me, not mine
There's also a post in our Dhamma Reflections blog on the same subject here.
