- 소개/요약Vipassanā meditation has been historically practiced in many sections of society. By practicing this meditation technique, many householders have achieved mental peace and improved their day to day life situation. Research has demonstrated that vipassanā meditation works well not only among common householders and various sections of society but, also among jail inmates. Research studies in the past have shown that vipassanā has brought positive changes among inmates, which helps in jail reform. Recently, several studies have revealed the positive effects of vipassanā meditation on lay-practitioners. A mixed method has been used to analyze the behavioral changes of Nakkhu Jail inmates in nine different areas of their daily life before and after vipassanā meditation. Empirical results reveal that vipassana meditation helps to develop positive and optimistic attitude; reduce anger, irritation and anxiety; make self-correction of behavior; improve physical and mental health and purify their mind and character. A pair t-tests is used to compare the differences in means before and after vipassanā mediation of same inmates, and the result shows that there is significant difference of means in seven areas. With this, the research reveals that the vipassanā meditation can be used as an effective tool for jail reform in Nepal.
