Method of meditation
Nowadays Vipassana meditation is mainly practised in Burmese, Ceylonese
and Thai temples on the basis of the handed down teachings of Lord Buddha.
The Vipassana meditation technique in the courses is passed on in the same way
as it is traditionally prctised in the temples in Northern Thailand under
the guidance of the Ven. Ajahn Tong (Phrathepsiddhajahn).
It is an intensive form of the Mahasi Sayadaw tradition with walking and
sitting meditations, i.e. it is a traditionally Buddhist meditation technique.
A confessional binding to Buddhism is neither presumed nor expected.
