Vipassana by Numinous/Joseph C. Phillips Jr.
The word vipassana comes from the Pali language of early Buddhist texts. It means "to see things as they really are" but is often translated as "insight" or "clear-seeing." The type of seeing denoted by vipassana is that of direct perception or observation, as opposed to knowledge derived from reasoning or argument. Today the term vipassana is most associated with a specific technique of Buddhist meditation.
