Just A Thought ~ VIPASSANA

"I truly believe the book of philosophy to be that which stands perpetually open before our eyes, though since it is written in characters different from those of our alphabet it cannot be read by [just] everyone."

~ Galileo Galilei, 1464 - 1642, Italian Scientist, persecuted by the Catholic Church for his announcement that the Earth revolves around the Sun rather than the Church-held belief of the other way around ~

We long ago became so used to what was right in front of us that we no longer saw it, and to see it now requires the deep realization or insight that Buddhists call Vipassana. However, this is not, as is commonly thought, a practice or something we do, but rather something that happens. There is no button we can press to make insight arise!
