Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The chapter reviews certain practical aspects related to Vipassana , a first-person method taught by the Buddha, to probe one's stream of conscious experience, its contents and related material events. Although references to Vipassana are found scattered throughout the Pali literature the most comprehensive and detailed account with regard to its practice is contained in the Satipatthana Sutta. This chapter summarizes some salient features of Vipassana practice as found in the Sutta. It could be possible that formal first-person methods will be found necessary to track the succession of internal subjective states even in the scientific study of consciousness. A review of classical methods could provide directions for further studies. |
