What is Vipassana meditation?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Vipassana is the art of watchfulness, where the breath becomes your guide to silence, and in that stillness, you discover the unscarred witness within."

According to Osho, Vipassana is simple watchfulness of the breath—observing it as it comes in and goes out—until watchfulness becomes total. You don’t forcefully drop the method; practiced to perfection, it falls away naturally, like ripe fruit, leaving you as a silent, unscarred witness—the watcher on the hill.
Just gently watch your breathing in and out until only the watching is left.

- Builds nonreactive awareness without strain.
- Shows meditation is natural; effort falls away on its own.
- Helps you stay a calm, clear observer amid daily ups and downs.
