VIPASANA.--  Fundamental Principles
# noble silence # tongue-tied # larynx lost and found # breathtaking # rustic aravalis

Vipasana is the  choiceless observation of reality as it exists .
Its objective is  to attain  total perception of the  mind - matter phenomenon. The highest level of awareness.
Observation of Breath is the technique applied in this form of  meditation.
Vipasana is a process of 'liberation through self purification ' .
Founded , evolved and perfected by   Gautama  Buddha  in 5th  century BC.
Dhamma means  universal law of nature ', as you sow , so shall you reap and so on..
Focus on the breath and observe it  -
the attention is fixed between the tip of the nose and the upper lip forming  a  triangle..

The practise of  Vipasana entails following Sila - the noble eight fold path , samya samadhi -control of the mind and paana - purification of mind  through wisdom and insight .
It teaches you to work with your sensations  objectively , with equanimity and acceptance , which will take you to the deepest levels  of the sub conscious mind , in pursuit of dissolving accumulated samkaras - past actions - sanchit karmas from its roots.

The hunan being is an eternal cosmic entity - a reflection of the universe . as the entire universe is dynamic energy in a constant state of flux  made up of sub atomic particles vibrating at their own signature frequencies , so the human being within the framework of body -mind -intellect is also a complex product  of sub atomic particles , a combination of the four fundamental elements , lifetrons , and cosmic energy.
The human mind houses the six senses , which are quantum players , in  contact with the physical world . The eye sees beautiful objects, animate or inanimate , the nose smells pleasant fragrances and so on .
All these create sensations in the mind , and if entertained, manifest as desires , cravings and finally attachments or samkaras.
The stockpile of  samkaras / past actions - dross accumulates in the lowest layer of the mind  - the subtle body .
With the practise of Vipasana you reach out to these samkaras which will  surface as  gross sensations at the physical level .
with due diligence ,  objective observation  and perfect equanimity , they will be dissolved.
While in  progress  be mindful of the universal law of impermanence in the universe.
To spread awareness of Vipasana and SHARE your joy derived from its practise to as many people  possible ,  is one of  the prime teachings - maitriya mangal .
Performing Maitriya Mangal is a pre. - requisite to  a  Sadak's progress on this path.
The process of self purification could span from one to umpteen lifetimes depending on the intent and seriousness of purpose. Gautama Buddha gifted to this world '' Bhavna O Panya '' , which means practical wisdom to be followed not at the intellectual level but at an experiential level.

While navigating this dimension may you attain  supremacy  over mind and matter .
Injoy
Vsingh
