Vipassana meditation as taught by S.N. Goenka offers a non-sectarian, ritual-free spiritual practice focused on observing bodily sensations, attracting modern lay practitioners in Indonesia. Integrating holistic theory, yoga sutra theory, and Buddhist meditation, the study finds that physical and mental causes are not obstacles but means to realize bodily sensations, not absolute causes. In yoga sutra theory, ethical conduct harmonizes with internal self-discipline. The technique is presented as a spiritual path to self-transformation relevant to contemporary physical and mental health.
