Vipassan Meditation Talk 1 of 5

[zentrucker]

The practice of vipasana is a mediation technique for seeing into reality by looking inside one’s self. It is a practice to eliminate attachment to greed, anger and delusions, which are generally referred to as defilements. If a practitioner can not see these defilements in them selves, then it will be particularly difficult to unattached from them. So, if the showing of shrines bring this defilement out then they are exceptionally useful for the practice vipassana.
