Vipassana:

“Insight, clear seeing; intuitive cognition of the three marks of existence (Three Dharma Seals), namely, the impermanence, suffering, and egolessness of all physical and mental phenomena. In Mahayana Buddhism, Vipassana is seen as the analytical examination of the nature of things that leads to insight into the true nature of the world- emptiness. Such insight prevents the arising of new passions. Vipassana is one of the two factors essential for the attainment of Enlightenment (bodhi). The other is Samantha (calming the mind).”
