Publisher's Synopsis
2023 INTERNATIONAL EDITION: TOTALLY REVISED AND ENHANCED
A NEW UNDERSTANDING
The Buddha faced the challenge of discovering how the human mind works without the knowledge we possess today in physiology or neuroscience. Therefore, the language he used was symbolic, ambiguous, and sometimes cryptic. Integral Vipassana illuminates the Satipatthana Sutta in the context of contemporary neuroscience, psychology, and Ken Wilber's Integral Theory, providing a powerful new path to mindfulness and happiness for Buddhist meditators at all levels.

"Integral Vipassana deals with Satipatthana in all its details so that the reader can gain clearer knowledge of the subject, which can then be translated into more eff effective practice." - Dhiravamsa Vipassanacarya, author of The Way of Non-Attachment
