This is an eight-class course to teach the practice of Vipassanā Meditation. Each class is one hour.
Concentration (Samatha) Meditation
Concentration practice must come first. Samatha uses one-pointed concentration of the breath to develop the mind’s inherent stability, clarity and strength. Through this practice, we learn to calm the mind.
These first four classes are designed to teach you concentration meditation. At the completion of these four classes, you will have the knowledge and experience to maintain an effective concentration meditation practice.

Insight (Vipassanā) Meditation
Insight meditation is an extension of concentration practice, called Vipassanā, meaning “to clear the mind.” After we have learned to calm the mind with concentration meditation, we can learn to cultivate moment-to-moment awareness and gain insights into our inner self.
Vipassanā Meditation is the oldest of Buddhist practices, coming directly from the Satipatthana Suttra, a discourse attributed to the Buddha himself. It is a direct and gradual cultivation of mindfulness/awareness, and proceeds piece by piece over a period of years in which our attention is directed to an intense examination of our existence. With this practice, we come to understand the truths about non-ego, emptiness, nothingness, peacefulness and joyfulness by seeing our issues and letting them go.
These last four classes teach you Insight (Vipassanā) Meditation.
