Guest guest Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 Can some experienced meditator tell me the difference between ramana's method and that of insight / vipassana method. I have fairly good idea about what each method is but wanted how one technique stands vis a vis another. If i am not mistaken - Bhagavan's method is more about abidance while buddhist approach is just 'observing' Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just find out who I is a get out. Vipassana is observing the rising and fallings and realising all is transitory. One can penetrate to the centre of matter so to speak. It seems Who am I? does the same thing directly....ONS..Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Namaste, However I must add that a code of conduct and purification is also part of it. " Abstain from all unwholesome deeds, perform wholesome ones, purify your mind, This is the teaching of enlightened person.".........Gautama Buddha. Any action that harms another being is unwholesome, any that helps contribute to peace and harmony is wholesome. N.S. Goenka taught Vipassana, form U Ba Khin. I did meet a person that spent time learning this technique in Burma, and listened to his talks on it as well. It appears more related to Theravada Buddism which appears to be nearer what the Buddha taught than the Tibetan variety-----Mahayana which seems to have incorporated Hindu type gods and relics of Bon Po..........ONS..Tony.
