Welcome to Mahasi Vipassana Meditation Resources (MVMR)

On this website you will find most of the information needed in order to learn the basics of Vipassana (Insight) meditation as taught by Venerable Mahasi Sayadaw.

Most of the Mahasi texts are also offered in e-book formats for further offline reading.

How to use this website

It is highly suggested to read all included Mahasi material, as this will help you understand the fundamentals of Mahasi Vipassana meditation technique.

However, if you want to learn the basics in order to start meditating immediately, you can:

• Read Practical Insight Meditation: Basic Practice

• Read the Q&A with Mahasi Sayadaw

and then

• Watch the material suggested in the Videos section.

What to read next

Although the material provided by MVMR is more than enough to get you started, if you want to have a deeper knowledge of Mahasi Vipassana, you should definitely read his book The Manual of Insight.

Note

The person behind MVMR is far from being considered an expert in Mahasi Vipassana or Buddhism in general.

This website was created by a beginner and is nothing more than a “personal notebook” published online, aiming to be a helpful resource for other people around the world with the same interests.
