Introduction to Vipassana Meditation


For those who are not currently familar with the ancient technique of Vipassana Meditation, its non-sectarian nature and its benefits, a video discourse approximately 17 minutes in length is available for viewing in both English and Hindi languages.  


A short video with subtitles in multiple languages that consists of a series of interviews with Vipassana students. They talk about how they first came to a Vipassana course, and what the practice of Vipassana has meant to them in their lives. The title of this film is "Practicing Vipassana: Meditator Experiences". The interviews were conducted of students from various countries and were recorded at the Italian Vipassana Center.
