Dhamma Talk - A Genealogy of Insight (Online)

September 6, 2023

The practice of insight meditation (vipassana bhavana) is something many meditators in the west take for granted. It is easy to forget or overlook just how revolutionary the modern form of practice developed by the late Mahasi Sayadaw has been, and the importance of the Mahasi lineage in the propagation of Insight practice among lay people.

There is no charge to join, but any donations to Patrick are greatly appreciated.
