Our Vision
Looking for the Dhamma, you find it in yourself.
Vipassana can be translated as “Insight,” a clear awareness of exactly what is happening as it happens. The method comes directly from the Satipatthana Sutta [Foundations of Mindfulness], a discourse attributed to the Buddha himself.
Samatha can be translated as “concentration” or “tranquility.” It is a state in which the mind is brought to rest, focused only on one item and not allowed to wander. When this is done, a deep calm pervades body and mind, a state of tranquility which must be experienced to be understood.
