Abstract:
O Método Mahāsī, do mestre Mahāsī Sāyadaw (1904-1982), é um dos mais conhecidos métodos de meditação vipassanā do moderno Movimento Vipassana do Budismo Theravāda. Este artigo tem como objetivo investigar a relação entre ensinamentos (pariyatti) e prática (patipatti) deste método. Para tal, apresentaremos os princípios basilares do método, as técnicas de meditação e, por fim, os 16 estágios das Cognições Meditativas (vipassanā-ñāṇa), que se constituem como experiências meditativas conducentes à experiência final de nibbāna. A singularidade do Método Mahāsī está na ausência de técnicas preparatórias de concentração e foco nas técnicas de vipassanā, por isso chamado de suddha-vipassanā, o puro Insight. Ademais, as principais técnicas meditativas são a Rotulagem Mental e a Concentração Momentânea.

Abstract:
A desk review was done to analyze the relevance of Vipassana with the overall dimensions of health and to find out its interconnection with the school curriculum for enhancing the education sector and shifting the paradigm. Secondary data were collected via an internet online portal and analyzed by making a theme. Literature shows that Vipassana has a tremendous positive impact on human health dimensions like physical, mental, social, psychological, and spiritual health. Vipassana with its moral code and precepts is found to help in fostering peaceful feelings, equanimity, and compassion, thus assisting social integrity. Relying on this fact, there is a great possibility of interconnecting Vipassana with the school curriculum. No review has been found on social well-being and spiritual health in a collaborative form which could be a future recommendation.

Abstract:
Vipassana meditation is a type of mindfulness meditation technique mostly practices in southwest part of the globe, where relaxing but highly awake and alert mind state is achieved. Vipassana Meditation involvement was carried out for a group of mid-aged people. These people constantly dealing with high level of stress. This research evaluates advance signal processing methodologies of respiration and electroencephalographic (EEG) signals during Vipassana meditation and control condition to assist in quantification of the meditative state. EEG of respiration and Vipassana Meditation data were collected and analyzed on 40 novice meditators after a 3-weeks meditation intervention. Collected data were analyzed with an advanced mathematical tool such as Wavelet Transform for spectral analysis. The Support Vector Machine is used as a classifier for classification of EEG signals to evaluate an objective marker for meditation. We analyzed and observed Vipassana meditation and control condition differences in the different frequency bands such as (alpha, beta, theta, delta, and gamma) for EEG signals of subjects. Moreover, we confirmed a classifier with a higher accuracy (92%) during respiration and EEG signals for discrimination between meditation and control conditions, rather than EEG signal alone (85%). A classifier based on respiration and EEG signal is the feasible objective marker for verifying the ability of meditation. Different level of meditation depth and experience can be studied using this classifier for future studies. The main objective of this work is to develop a physiological meditation marker as a medication (mind-body medicine field) to advance by nourishing severity of methods.

Abstract:
The practice of vipassana meditation emphasizes the role of meditative experience in coming to understand the Buddhist worldview and in effecting personal transformation. Data obtained from fieldwork conducted between 2003 and 2005 at the Blue Mountains Insight Meditation Centre (BMIMC) in Medlow Bath, NSW Australia, illustrate the process by which aspects of doctrine come to be accepted through an experiential understanding of their import. Many respondents attributed significance to their experiential understanding of dukkha, suffering, and anicca, impermanence, gained through Vipassana practice. My own significant instance of experiential learning involved that of the five hindrances, outlined in the Satipatthana Sutta as five mental states that hinder the meditator’s development of mindfulness. By reflecting upon the reasons for the difference between my experience and that of my interview respondents, I demonstrate the limitations of the researcher’s own meditation experience used as an interpretive tool for ethnographic data, and the need for the researcher to reflexively examine the way in which their own religious preferences and biases affect the significance they attribute to their own meditation experience.

Abstract:
The purpose of this grounded theory study was to build a theory about the process and function teachers construct around the effect Vipassana meditation has on stress, teaching, and decision-making. This study addressed the problem of how teachers respond to daily tasks and demands that can negatively impact their longevity in the profession. The starting point was the conceptual framework, including resolving cognitive dissonance, choice theory, mindfulness, and the perspective of Vipassana meditation. The research questions addressed how Vipassana meditation influences a teacher's daily routine, decision-making, classroom management, general procedures, and stressful situations. The data collection was done in 2 stages and included triangulation through 2 interviews, journals, and a questionnaire for all 9 participants. The analysis used pre, open, axial, and selective coding with both inductive and deductive processes which connected the conceptual framework to emerging concepts including equanimity, awareness, observation, context, detachment, nonjudgment, flexibility, being present in the moment, and engagement. Using these concepts, a possible theory involving the anicca perspective (one of non-permanence) on the decision-making process and as a stress management tool was generated. Implications for positive social change include a demonstrable positive effect on relationships in the classroom, pedagogy, and classroom management. This process can be considered in teacher training and professional development programs to decrease stress in order to help prolong teachers' careers.

Abstract:
The aim of this dissertation is to reflect on technologies of the self, a term coined by Michel Foucault to study western practices of self-formation. Influenced by his work on subjectivity and by Science and Technology Studies (STS), I explore two forms of meditation – Vipassana meditation in the tradition of S.N. Goenka and Thich Nhat Hanh’s practices of mindfulness – in order to analyze the entanglements between technologies, associations and subjectivity. Two research questions guided this study. First, how do Vipassana and Zen assemblages bring forth subjective transformations? Second, what are the politics of meditation practice, considering that Vipassana and Zen perform particular paradigms of subjectivity and aim at transforming the “social”? In order to address these questions, I relied on qualitative research methods, developing a multifaceted methodology that included participant observation at four meditation retreats, semi-structured interviews with meditators, the analysis of relevant literature and my own personal experiences as a beginner. I argue that the mechanisms of subjectification employed by meditation rely on two main devices: the transformation of habitual webs of associations, including couplings between selves, other humans, nonhumans and spaces and the installation of new automatisms. Vipassana and Zen technologies invite subjects to become aware of particular automatisms – regular ways of eating, sitting, walking and breathing - and to direct their attention towards them in novel ways, installing specific ways of managing their selves (stopping and breathing whenever they hear the sounds of bells; developing an attitude of equanimity when they are looking for sensations in their bodies). Vipassana and Zen are mediators that generate new experiences and ways of being informed by meditation, as well as a number of social applications that rely on the paradigmatic changes enacted by these practices. Informed by the dualism between modern and nonmodern, I argue that Zen and Vipassana can be understood as technologies of the nonmodern self (Pickering, 3 2010), suspending the dualism between body and mind, self and others, humans and nonhumans, contributing towards the establishment of nondual paradigms of selfhood and innovative forms of social organization that include new ways of performing human reformation, social action and humanenvironment couplings. The theoretical contributions of this dissertation are threefold. First, I want to extend current STS scholarly work on the self. Second, I want to contribute towards a post-humanist understanding of meditation assemblages. Finally, I am informed by Michel Foucault’s insights on technologies of the self to study meditation, but instead of focusing on the history or genealogy of the western self, I analyze a number of devices of subjectification mobilized to operate subjective changes and to transform the social.

Abstract:
Mindfulness and Vipassana can help teachers teach anti-oppressively because practitioners learn to interrupt unskillful habit patterns through practice. This master's thesis examines the author's mindfulness/Vipassana practice, in reference to current scholarship on mindfulness and anti-oppressive education. Using a self-study lens, the author looks at mindfulness scholarship critically and at his experiences discerningly, compassionately and uses them as the evidence for mindfulness' relevance within High School teaching.
Cette thèse soutient que la pratique de la « pleine conscience » (mindfulness) et de la méditation Vipassana peut contribuer à une éducation anti-oppressive. Cette pratique aide les enseignants à prendre conscience de leur vie intérieure, à interagir avec discernement et compassion, et à interrompre des habitudes maladroites. Se référant à sa propre pratique du « mindfulness » l'auteur examine la pertinence de cette approche pour l'enseignement au secondaire. Il pose aussi un regard critique sur la littérature scientifique émergeante.

Abstract:
Syftet med studien var att undersöka varför människor söker sig till Vipassanakurser, vad de upplever under kursen samt om och i så fall hur livet påverkats efter kursen. Datainsamlingen genomfördes genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med åtta deltagare som medverkat i minst en tiodagars Vipassanakurs. Gunnar Karlssons (1995) Empirical Phenomenology Psychological Method (EPP) användes som analysmetod. Genom analysen framkom fem teman som belyser drömmen om förändring, processen deltagarna genomgår under kursen med tre underteman: (1) obehagliga och behagliga upplevelser, (2) förändring och (3) förhållningssätt i form av motstånd/strävan samt acceptans, reflektioner, insikter efter kursen samt paradoxen. Resultatet visar att de som söker sig till en Vipassanakurs har en dröm om förändring, att antingen komma bort från något, ändra något i sin verklighet eller att uppnå något nytt. Deltagarna går igenom en process under kursen som innefattar obehagliga och behagliga upplevelser. Förhållningssätten till upplevelserna är motstånd/strävan som ofta leder till ett lidande och acceptans som karaktäriseras av frid och lugn. I alla delar av studien är förändring en röd tråd genom deltagarnas berättelser. Deltagarna gör reflektioner om de förhållningssätt och regler som råder på kursen, bland annat över hur tystanden upplevs och jämförelser med sekter. Insikter efter kursen ger både nya insikter om livet i stort och nya livsstilsvanor. Det sista temat är paradoxen som beskriver flertalet deltagares svårigheter att upprätthålla meditationen efter kursen trots erfarenheten av de goda effekter de märkt av meditationen under kursen.
The purpose of this study was to investigate why people attend to silent meditation courses, what they experience and if their lives are affected after the course. The data collection was carried out through semi-structured interviews with eight participants who had attended at least one ten days Vipassana course. The Empirical Phenomenology Psychological Method (EPP) of Gunnar Karlsson (1995) was used for analysis method. From the analysis, five themes emerged: dream of change, the process that they go through with three under themes: unpleasant and pleasant experience, change and approach either in form of resistance/striving and acceptance, reflections, insights after the course and the paradox. The result shows that those who attend in a Vipassana course have a dream of change, either to get away from something, change something or to reach something new. The participants are going through a process during the course that involves unpleasant and pleasant experiences. The approaches that emerge are resistance/striving that leads to suffering and acceptance that is characterised by peace. Through the study change is a returning theme in the participants stories. The participants are making reflections about approaches and rules that need to be applied during the course, e.g. how silence is experienced and comparisons to cults. Insights after the course arise about life in general and new life styles. The last theme is the paradox that describes the majority of the participant’s difficulties to maintain the meditation after the course despite the experience of the positive effects they noticed from the meditation during the course.

Abstract:
Västerländsk mindfulnessmeditation har sina rötter i tusenårig buddhistisk tradition, främst genom vipassana- och zentraditionerna. Senaste tiden har mindfulness ökat i popularitet och blivit en accepterad klinisk metod i former som mindfulness based stress reduction. Möjligheten att undersöka dess effekter genom neurovetenskapliga metoder bidrar med intressant och viktig forskning om mänskligt välbefinnande. Dock har tidigare studier visat på bristande samstämmighet vad gäller resultat och metod. Uppsatsen är en litteraturstudie där det huvudsakliga syftet är att utifrån nyare studier undersöka de tydligaste effekterna på hjärnfunktion och struktur av långvarigt praktiserande av mindfulness utifrån vipassana- och zenmeditation. Uppsatsen syftar även till att redogöra för samstämmigheten i dessa nyare studier. Detta gäller resultat men också metod. Studierna tyder på minskad aktivitet i prefrontala cortex (PFC), posteriora cingulum cortex (PCC) och minskad aktivitet mellan PFC och regioner inom default mode network(DMN) som anteriora cingulum cortex (ACC). Studier visar även ökad aktivitet från parietala-occipitala området. Resultaten tyder på förbättrad kroppsmedvetenhet och ökad sensorisk klarhet, ökad förmåga till uppmärksamhetsreglering och inhibition av automatiska responser samt minskning av och ökad kontroll över det spontana flödet av tankar och en förändrad självuppfattning. Jag finner att resultaten var samstämmiga beträffande minskat involverande av frontala och parietala områden, samt svagare förbindelser mellan dessa (dlPFC-IPL, PFC-dACC). Gemensamt för studierna är också att mindfulnessmeditation tycks påverka DMN och områden kopplade till det självrefererande processandet. Det är dock inte klart hur predispositioner inverkat på resultaten och det är något för framtida forskning att klargöra.

Full text
Abstract:

This dissertation compares the integrated vipassana movement of North America and the school of psychology. The comparison examines both healing practices and ontological paradigms. The integrated vipassanā movement in the United States is defined by that element of vipassanā teachings that blends Theravāda Buddhist practices with American cultural mores as promoted and disseminated by Insight Meditation Society and Spirit Rock Meditation Center. Existential-humanistic psychology is here represented by the teachings of Rollo May, James Bugental, and Irvin Yalom. This inquiry seeks to apprehend the nature and efficacy of compassionate and caring present-moment attention in the context of two distinct ontological orientations. The analysis begins with each tradition's description of humanity's most fundamental flaw: dukkha and angst. The examination of these maladies of life is followed by a comparison of these traditions' respective portrayals of health and harmony: Buddhist liberation as compared with existential freedom. This study then examines and compares the way in which these traditions employ the blended healing practices of compassion and present-moment awareness. The findings include the observation that the Theravāda concept of no-self and the existential notion of the groundlessness of being provide for two distinct kinds of healing: one promotes a grace born of skillfully encouraging a depth of surrender of self, and the other speaks to creating an authentic world for oneself. This dissertation finds that the two traditions offer practices and orientations that may be used complementarily.

Abstract:
In the past decade the healing potential of mindfulness and its practice has gained widespread recognition across various health disciplines and institutions, especially mental health. Past and current research on mindfulness interventions have focused almost exclusively on the beneficial effects for clients. However, there is a serious shortage of research on how mindfulness practice influences therapists and their work. The current study looked specifically at how the influence of mindfulness meditation (MM) was experienced by therapists in the context of their work. An interpretive description methodology was used to guide the research process. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with six therapists who practiced MM regularly. A thematic analysis of interview transcripts highlighted commonalities and differences among participants’ perceptions of the influence of MM on their work. Eleven themes emerged from the data analysis. Thematic findings were considered in relation to key issues in psychotherapy, master therapist traits and other contemporary qualitative research addressing the influence of MM on practitioners. The results are discussed with an emphasis on the practical implications for future research, therapist training and clinical practice.

Abstract:
In this bachelor’s thesis I have focused on the question why people who live in secular societies use insight or vipassana meditation. The study is based on the rational choice theory developed by Rodney Stark. I have used an inductive qualitative method including e-mail interviews with practitioners of vipassana meditation. The study has shown why some people start the practice and how people’s expectations of vipassana meditation can differ in what they wanted from their practice. The study showed that practitioners and the society that surrounds them influenced each other. The study highlighted the way vipassana meditation was practiced on a secular basis.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis explores the relationship between S. N. Goenka's technique of Vipassana meditation, an approach inspired by the Buddha designed for the liberation of human suffering, and constructive social engagement. The first chapter introduces the general field of Theravada Buddhist meditation practices to demonstrate how Goenka's approach conforms to and differs from traditional Theravada meditation. The second chapter provides an overview of Goenka's reformist movement, while the third chapter investigates his methods of dissemination and the supporting theories behind them in light of traditional Pali canonical sources. The final chapter examines the notion that social reparation depends on the alleviation of individual afllictive mental states. This claim is analysed through reports concerning the therapeutic effects of Vipassana on the practitioner, and through case-studies regarding the integration of the technique into the curriculums of various social institutions in the fields of health, corrections, and education.
