Vipassana.

Question

Hello. I wanted to know whether the technique of zazen is similar to vipassana:

Observing the breath, paying attention to sensations, and relating to pain through the laws of impermanence and equanimity.

Thank you very much. Federico.

Frederico

Answer from Master Kosen

We can say there are similarities, but zazen is different; it is another level. We can say zazen contains vipassana, but vipassana does not contain zazen.
