Theravada Buddhism and Vipassana quotes

Theravada Buddhism, the Buddhism of Sri Lanka and much of South East Asia, is represented in the West mostly as Vipassana meditation and its off-spring mindfulness meditation.

While I’m a mindfulness trainer myself, I’m not blind to the reduction of the spiritual breadth and depth that this transformation has entailed in it’s journey from Theravada to Vipassana and from Vipassana to Mindfulness.

The quotes here come from the extensive and ancient Pali literature.
