vipassana

Mar 11, 2004 01:48 AM
by Pedro Oliveira


A senior Buddhist monk in Badulla, Sri Lanka, was once
asked the question: "What is the meaning of the word
'vipassana'?

"To look at oneself intelligently" he replied. 

He then explained: 

"When one does not look intelligently, there is a self
and therefore suffering. When one looks at oneself
intelligently there is no self and therefore no
suffering."
