Intuitive AwarenessThis book is a small sample of the talks that Ajahn Sumedho offered during the winter retreat of 2001. The aim of the editors in compiling this book has been explicitly to maintain the style and spirit of the spoken word. As Ajahn Sumedho himself commented, The book is meant to be suggestions of ways to investigate conscious experience. It's not meant to be a didactic treatise on Pali Buddhism.279 views

(01) Vipassana Meditation RetreatSayadaw U Janakabhivamsa
Track01 Introduction to Meditation - 10 Vipassana Retreat Talks, by Sayadaw U Janaka (6/12/2003)
The opening evening talk during an intensive Vipassana(Insight) meditation retreat in the Mahasi Sayadaw tradition of Burma, by the abbot and meditation master of Chanmyay Meditation Centre, Yangon, Myanmar.
Vipassana or insight meditation, is above all, an experiential practice, based on the systematic and balanced
development of a precise and focused awareness. By observing one’s moment-to-moment mind/body processes
from a place of investigative attention, insight arises into the true nature of life and experiences. Through the wisdom acquired by using insight meditation one is able to live more freely and relate to the world around with less clinging,fear and confusion. Thus one’s life becomes increasingly directed by consideration, compassion and clarity.300 views
