Beloved ones,

let us return to the roots of awakening.

In the Dhammapada the Buddha spoke words that have echoed across centuries:

“Sabbe saṅkhārā aniccā, sabbe saṅkhārā dukkhā, sabbe dhammā anattā. Essā dhammo sanantano.”

“All conditioned things are impermanent.

All conditioned things are suffering.

All phenomena are without self.

This is the eternal Dharma.”

These are not just philosophical ideas. They are what the Buddha himself discovered in silence, sitting under the Bodhi tree. Vipassana is the way to see these truths directly not as belief, but as lived experience.

🌿 Each breath rises and falls, teaching impermanence (anicca).

🌿 Each sensation, pleasant or painful, shows its restless nature , this is suffering (dukkha).

🌿 No thought, no identity, no emotion is truly “I” , this is no-self (anatta).

The Lotus Sutra offers the same vision through another image. It says the mind is like a lotus growing out of muddy water. The mud is our desires, our fears, our restless thoughts. Yet when awareness is steady, the lotus opens above the surface, untouched and radiant. This is Vipassana to witness clearly, until the pure flower of your being reveals itself.

The Buddha called this the path of purification. Not because you become holy in some outer sense, but because clinging dissolves, fear softens, and the grip of ego weakens.

Vipassana means “to see clearly.” It is a mirror of truth, a return to the eternal law- “ Ess dhammo sanantano” Everything arises and passes. Nothing is truly yours, and yet everything is a gift.

Beloved ones, when you sit in Vipassana, you are not practicing alone.

The Vipassana meditation is freely available to all of you in your classroom section .

You are walking in the footsteps of the Awakened One. You are tasting the same freedom he tasted under the Bodhi tree.

With love and clarity,

❤️ Satyarthi
