  • Th BEST Spiritual talks.

    Vipassana and Pariyatti, is free from any religion, although follows Buddha's teachings. It teaches, how we can experience ourselves, not just accepting anyone's theory.

    Thanks to true Dhamma, Vipassana and all the people helping it.

    These podcasts are invaluable for the seekers of truth and love within themselves. Being a vipassana meditator it really helps me to keep my theory healthy along with the practice. Just listening to Mr Goenka's voice creates a sense of urgency in me and inspires me to practice ardently. Thanks Pariyatti for making this resource available. May all beings be happy. :)

Q: Can you clarify the distinction between the psychoanalytic concept of ego and the Buddhist concept of Anatta, and explain how Vipassana addresses both these ideas?
