Vipassana meditation or insight meditation involves the application of mindfulness to observe mental and bodily processes as impermanent, unsatisfactory and non-self.
By realizing the three characteristics of mentality and physicality, mindful yogis or meditators will be able to eradicate latent defilements like greed, hatred, ingnorance and so forth.
Here, the establishing and developing of mindfulness
is the mental factor that is most crucial to the Buddha’s path of liberation
from samsara, the rounds of suffering.
