The practice of vipassana is the study of the self. When you study physical and mental phenomena, you are studying the truth about yourself.

Real peace comes from seeing things as they really are, not as we want them to be.

The path of insight is a path of discovery, not a path of creation. We are discovering what is already there.

When mindfulness and concentration are strong, insight into the three characteristics naturally unfolds.

When you note effectively, there is no time for defilements to arise. The mind becomes pure through noting.

The mind that notes and the object that is noted are both impermanent. Understanding this leads to liberation.

The development of insight is gradual, but the realization of truth is sudden.

When you note pain, you are not trying to make it go away. You are trying to understand its true nature.

The practice is like peeling an onion. Layer after layer of delusion is removed through continuous mindfulness.

When you note pain, you should not dwell on the thought, "I feel pain." Simply recognize the presence of pain.

Wisdom arises when you see the true characteristics of phenomena through direct experience.

Every moment of mindfulness is a step on the path to liberation. Each step is valuable, no matter how small.

Through continuous mindfulness practice, the true nature of physical and mental phenomena becomes clear.

The stages of insight unfold naturally when mindfulness is continuous. There is no need to desire them or try to make them happen.

In the moment of pure noting, there is no self - only the knowing and the known.

Just observe whatever arises. Don't try to create anything, and don't reject anything.

Concentration develops naturally through continuous noting. Don't try to force concentration to arise.

In true vipassana practice, there is no room for likes and dislikes. There is only observation.

The rising and falling of the abdomen is not the main object. The main object is to develop mindfulness, concentration, and insight.

Insight knowledge comes from direct experience, not from intellectual understanding.
