The aim of these pages is to serve as an introduction to the practice of Insight Meditation as taught within the tradition of Theravada Buddhism. You need not be familiar with the teachings of the Buddha to make use of it, although such knowledge can help to clarify any personal understanding you may develop through meditation.
The purpose of Buddhist Insight Meditation is not to create a system of beliefs, but rather to give guidance on how to see clearly into the nature of the mind. In this way one gains first-hand understanding of the way things are, without reliance on opinions or theories—a direct experience, which has its own vitality. It also gives rise to the sense of deep calm that comes from knowing something for oneself, beyond any doubt.

A great way of practicing vipassana is depicted. I have read several Buddhist meditation books. As it as says, to gain ‘moksha’, it is taking a long time. However this article will help some one to develop the mind to a certain extent. Further, practicing meditation according to ‘Abhidharma’, will benifit one in many ways. I suppose it might have been better to mention them in this article. However the article is great.
thank you.
