Buddhist Vipassana Meditation
Buddhists/Buddhism: How does one practise Vipassana Meditation -and- Lovingkindness Meditation?
And, besides Buddhanet – what are some other Good Websites on practising Vipassana Meditation and Lovingkindness Meditation? Thxs
The Insight Meditation Society website is a leading source for information on Vipassana (Insight) meditation. On this site you’ll find information on practice and also links to centers and teachers in this tradition.
http://dharma.org/ims/
On this site you’ll find the following instructional talks on Vipassana and Loving-Kindness (Metta) practice:
Vipassana: http://dharma.org/ims/mp3/01-Joseph_Goldstein-Guided_Vipassana_Meditation.mp3
Metta: http://dharma.org/ims/mp3/04-Sharon_Salzberg-Guided_Metta_Meditation.mp3
Because these are talks, rather than articles, they have a kind of immediacy and humanity that you may find inspirational. I do.
Best wishes on your practice.
