  • 소개/요약Vipassana Research Institute (VRI), a non-profit-making body, was established in 1985 with the principal aim of conducting scientific research into the sources and applications of the Vipassana Meditation Technique. Vipassana meditation is a technique of observation and exploration of the mind-body phenomena. The technique leads to purification of mind and can bring about a major transformation in the attitude and behavioural pattern of an individual and, through him, in the entire society. The technique has a unique potential as an instrument for better education, health, organisation, management development and social change for strengthening the concept of secularism, national integration and international understanding. Vipassana has been revived after a period of more than 2500 years.Over the years, VRI has undertook many monumental projects like publishing the entire Pali canon and allied commentarial literature, imparting intensive training of pali language to meditators and non-meditators, conducting research to provide scientific basis for establishing the several beneficial effects of practicing Vipassana on the health (physical and mental) of practitioners and publishing books and other inspirational materials for the benefit of students.
