The Far Shore: Vipassana, The Practice of Insight

We have all had glimpses from the far shore, where with openness we experience and are fully in touch with ourselves. From the far shore we see with honesty, clarity and true acceptance. 'The Far Shore' offers reflections on this experience and is addressed to all who are drawn to the path of awareness and compassion.

''To Vipassana practice, certainly different approaches are possible and desirable; and certainly yours of ''soft Vipassana'' can be helpful and effective. Those who are helped by it, may then feel encouraged to take up a stricter regimen. '' --- Nyanaponika Mahathera, Forest Hermitage, Kandy, Sri Lanka

''It is indeed a remarkable contribution for those on the path of awakening and a good book for those who keep abreast of the Vipassana technique and its application in daily life.'' --- Ajit R. Telang, 'Dilip' Vol : 27, No. 4, Oct-Dec., 2001

''Contemplation articulated, insight and concern expressed, it is as though getting in touch with a place within our own minds.'' --- The Venerable Tenzin Kachoe, President of the Thubten Dhargye Ling Center (U.S.A.)
