| Key findings | Argues that Vipassana meditation is significant in Buddhist philosophy as an experiential practice for understanding suffering and cultivating insight, equanimity, and ethical self-cultivation.

Abstract
लेखसार प्रस्तुत लेखमा भगवान् बुद्धको दुःखमुक्तिसम्बन्धी चिन्तनका सन्दर्भमा विपश्यना ध्यानको अवधारणा, अभ्यास र महत्त्वको अध्ययन गरिएको छ। अध्ययनका उद्देश्य बौद्ध दर्शनमा विपश्यनाको अवधारणा तथा दार्शनिक आधार स्पष्ट पार्नु र यसको अभ्यास प्रक्रिया तथा मानव जीवनमा रहेको दार्शनिक एवं व्यावहारिक महत्त्वको विश्लेषण गर्नु हो। गुणात्मक पुस्तकालयीय तथा व्याख्यात्मक समीक्षा विधिबाट बौद्ध मूलपाठ, विपश्यनासम्बन्धी नेपाली तथा अंग्रेजी ग्रन्थ र प्रकाशित अनुसन्धानको विषयगत विवेचना गरिएको छ। अध्ययनले विपश्यना ध्यानलाई अनुभवलाई यथार्थ रूपमा अवलोकन गर्ने अन्तर्दृष्टिमूलक अभ्यासका रूपमा प्रस्तुत गर्छ। यसमा वेदनाको उदय–व्यय, अनित्यबोध, तृष्णाजन्य प्रतिक्रिया, समभाव र प्रज्ञाबीचको सम्बन्ध महत्त्वपूर्ण रहेको देखिन्छ। विशेषतः गोयन्का परम्परामा श्वासप्रश्वासको अवलोकनपछि शरीरका संवेदनाको क्रमबद्ध निरीक्षण गर्ने अभ्यासलाई महत्त्व दिइन्छ तर त्यसलाई सबै बौद्ध ध्यानपरम्पराको एकमात्र विधि मान्न मिल्दैन। आत्मनिरीक्षण, सजगता, नैतिक संयम र मानसिक सन्तुलन यसका सम्भावित व्यावहारिक पक्ष हुन्। तथापि दार्शनिक तथा आध्यात्मिक दाबी र आधुनिक अनुसन्धानले परीक्षण गरेका स्वास्थ्यसम्बन्धी प्रभावलाई एउटै प्रकारको प्रमाणका रूपमा बुझ्न हुँदैन। समग्रमा विपश्यना ध्यान बौद्ध दर्शनमा दुःखका कारण बुझ्न र चित्तशुद्धि तथा प्रज्ञाको विकासतर्फ उन्मुख हुने साधनाका रूपमा महत्त्वपूर्ण देखिन्छ। Abstract This article examines the concept, practice, and significance of Vipassana meditation in relation to the Buddha's teachings on suffering and its cessation. Its two objectives are to explain the philosophical foundations of Vipassana in Buddhist thought and to analyse its practice and philosophical and practical significance. The study uses a qualitative, library-based interpretive review of selected Buddhist discourses, Nepali and English publications on Vipassana, and relevant published research. The analysis identifies mindful observation of experience, the changing character of feeling, equanimity, craving, and wisdom as interconnected themes. It distinguishes the broader framework of Buddhist mindfulness from the specific sequence of breath awareness and systematic observation of bodily sensations taught in the S. N. Goenka tradition. Potential practical implications include self-observation, emotional awareness, ethical restraint, and balanced responses to experience. However, Buddhist soteriological claims should not be treated as equivalent to empirically established clinical outcomes. The article concludes that Vipassana is significant both as an experiential approach to understanding suffering and as a practice oriented toward insight, equanimity, and ethical self-cultivation.
