Description

2023 INTERNATIONAL EDITION: TOTALLY REVISED AND ENHANCED

A NEW UNDERSTANDING

The Buddha faced the challenge of discovering how the human mind works without the knowledge we possess today in physiology or neuroscience. Therefore, the language he used was symbolic, ambiguous, and sometimes cryptic. Integral Vipassana illuminates the Satipatthana Sutta in the context of contemporary neuroscience, psychology, and Ken Wilber's Integral Theory, providing a powerful new path to mindfulness and happiness for Buddhist meditators at all levels.

"For anyone invested in the exploration of consciousness, meditation, and psychology, this book stands as a pivotal read. It offers a rich, interdisciplinary approach, connecting profound, ancient wisdom with modern psychological insights." - Robb Smith, CEO and co-founder, Integral Life

"An insightful commentary...providing the reader with a fresh perspective on a fundamental concept for meditation." -- David R. Vago, Ph.D., Director of the Contemplative Neurosciences and Mind-Body Research Laboratory, Vanderbilt University

"Integral Vipassana deals with Satipatthāna in all its details so that the reader can gain clearer knowledge of the subject, which can then be translated into more eff effective practice." - Dhiravamsa Vipassanācarya, author of The Way of Non-Attachment
