"2023 INTERNATIONAL EDITION: TOTALLY REVISED AND ENHANCED

A NEW UNDERSTANDING

The Buddha faced the challenge of discovering how the human mind works without the knowledge we possess today in physiology or neuroscience. Therefore, the language he used was symbolic, ambiguous, and sometimes cryptic. Integral Vipassana illuminates the Satipatthana Sutta in the context of contemporary neuroscience, psychology, and Ken Wilber's Integral Theory, providing a powerful new path to mindfulness and happiness for Buddhist meditators at all levels.

""For anyone invested in the exploration of consciousness, meditation, and psychology, this book stands as a pivotal read. It offers a rich, interdisciplinary approach, connecting profound, ancient wisdom with modern psychological insights."" - Robb Smith, CEO and co-founder, Integral Life

""An insightful commentary...providing the reader with a fresh perspective on a fundamental concept for meditation."" -- David R. Vago, Ph.D., Director of the Contemplative Neurosciences and Mind-Body Research Laboratory, Vanderbilt University

""Integral Vipassana deals with Satipatthāna in all its details so that the reader can gain clearer knowledge of the subject, which can then be translated into more eff effective practice."" - Dhiravamsa Vipassanācarya, author of The Way of Non-Attachment"

Reviews for Integral Vipassana: Mindfulness through Psychology, Neuroscience and the Satipatthāna Sutta - 2023 EDITION

"""Integral Vipassana is a very good, very important book. It not only gives the basics of Integral Vipassana itself, it sets them out in an Integral framework, thus filling in on some of the limitations of meditation in general, while filling it in with other, more integrative material. This makes it a very significant publication, and one I would certainly recommend."" - Ken Wilber, bestselling author, A Brief History of Everything and The Integral Vision ""In Integral Vipassana, the authors offer an unflinchingly candid exploration of the origins of existential dissatisfaction and the intricacies of the 'I'. With kindness, and without oversimplification, they adeptly synthesize the practice of vipassana, first person subjective experience and modern neuroscience, crafting an invaluable guide for each reader's unique journey towards freedom from suffering.""- Dr. Andrea Grabovac, clinical psychiatrist, author and Co-Director of North American chapter of Mindfulness-integrated Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MiCBT) Institute ""An insightful commentary on Satipatthana and the concept of sati in contemporary cognitive psychological terms. Fernando Rodriguez Bornaetxea skillfully dismantles the concept of mindfulness in the context of mnemonic processes-providing the reader with a fresh perspective on a fundamental concept for meditation."" -David R. Vago, Ph.D., Director of the Contemplative Neurosciences and Mind-Body Research Laboratory, Vanderbilt University ""An important and valuable book, and one that does the tough job of synthesizing modern science and ancient wisdom in ways that make each feel more complete than they were before. There is great insight here, and I learned a lot reading it."" -Taylor Plimpton, author and contributor to Tricycle: The Buddhist Review ""The bodhisattva path is arguably the most important teaching that Buddhism offers us today, and meditative practices that promote individual transformation-such as those outlined so well in the Satipatthana Sutta and explicated so well in the pages that follow-are an essential part of it."" - David Loy, Buddhist teacher and author ""For anyone invested in the exploration of consciousness, meditation, and psychology, this book stands as a pivotal read. It offers a rich, interdisciplinary approach, connecting profound, ancient wisdom with modern psychological insights, creating a comprehensive guide to understanding the human mind and spirit."" - Robb Smith, CEO and co-founder, Integral Life ""I am so happy that Fernando has produced a new book in English with Andrew's invaluable collaboration, so that many more readers can be reached. This deals with Satipatthāna in all its details so that the reader can gain clearer knowledge of the subject, which can then be translated into more effective practice."" -Dhiravamsa Vipassanācarya ""Finally, a truly contemporary commentary on the Satipatthāna Sutta that goes beyond sectarian discussions. Fernando Rodríguez Bornaetxea unfolds all his expe-rience as a meditation teacher to dismantle myths and superfluous baggage that we unnecessarily project on meditative practice. What emerges is a fresh path that maintains the original spirit of the Buddha's message: the cultivation of mindfulness. In short, a text of extraordinary lucidity; an inseparable companion in our practice."" -Agustin Pániker, Lecturer in The History of Religions, writer, and director of Kairós Publishing"
