Vipasana: Vipassana (Sanskrit: vipasyana) is the Buddhist meditation practice of Insight Meditation. While the meditation practices themselves vary from school to school, the underlying principle is the investigation of phenomena (Sanskrit: dharmas) as they manifest in the five aggregates (kandas) namely, matter or form (Rupa), sensation or feelings (Vedana), perception (Samjna), mental formations (Sankara) & consciousness (Vijnana). This process leads to direct experiential perception, Vipassana.
Anapanasati: Anapana Sati, meaning mindfulness of breathing ('sati' means mindfulness, 'anapana' refers to breathing) is a basic form of meditation taught by the Buddha. According to the Buddha's teaching in the anapanasati Sutra, practicing mindfulness of breathing meditation as a part of the Noble Eightfold Path leads to the removal of all defilements (klesas) and finally the attainment of Nibbana. Buddha's teaching was based on his own experience in using anapanasati as part of his means of achieving his own enlightenment.
Buddhist meditation: samatha, and vipassana are the Buddhist methods of meditation. Now a days various other forms of meditation are practiced among Buddhists.
Christian meditation: Jesus, according to the New Testament, often left his apostles and the crowds to distance himself in the wilderness areas of Palestine to engage in long periods of prayer, spiritual meditation and fasting wherein he is reported to have communicated with God. The 40 days following his baptism were spent in such a manner, although, as described in the Bible this period was a difficult one of struggle and temptation. |
