Osho's perspective on Vipassana

What is Vipassana meditation?

 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."

Just gently watch your breathing in and out until only the watching is left.

When does catharsis occur in the practice of Vipassana?

 outcome

"Vipassana is not about catharsis; it is the art of silent, choiceless awareness that reveals the depths of your being only after you have cleansed the accumulated tensions of your repressed mind."

Vipassana is just quietly watching; first do active, cathartic exercises to shake out pent-up stuff, then sit and watch.
