How to Develop Awareness By Practicing Vipassana Meditation

The Buddha taught, that with vipassana meditation—i.e. passively observing every movement of the body & mind (thoughts, feelings, emotions, desires, hopes,  despairs, pleasures, sufferings, etc.) at the present moment—human beings may achieve insight or enlightenment on the true nature of existence which is impermanent and unsatisfactory. With the dawn of insight, human beings are freed from attachment to the body & mind, to the self, and hence are freed from suffering. But it is impossible to achieve this freedom by the exertion of any effort on the part of the self to achieve it in the future, because the very self/me is the cause of suffering; the me could not possibly eliminate the me.

Thus the distinguishing features of vipassana meditation are: passivity, stopping, detachment, being in the present moment. As the Buddha said to the killer Angulimala: “I have stopped a long time ago. It is you who still keep running. Stop!” Being in the present moment continuously, in which the me/self and thoughts cease altogether, is the door which opens up towards freedom, according to the Buddha in Mulapariyaya-sutta (Majjhima Nikaya, 1).

The True Definition of Miracles

Meditation teachers often explain, the miracle is not if we can fly, the miracle is not if we can see spirits, the miracle is also not when we sit meditating experiencing strange; but the miracle is that when we walk we realize our footsteps are stuck to this earth; that is a miracle, if that may be called a miracle. The miracle is not being able to read people's minds, see spirits, go to other realms, but be able to realize the arising of any own thoughts, be able to realize the arising of any own feelings.
