The document compares the paths and philosophies of Vipassana meditation and Krishnamurti's teachings on meditation and freedom. It contrasts Vipassana's emphasis on discipline, progress along a path, and non-judgmental observation of sensations, with Krishnamurti's view that there is no path, no progress can be measured, and meditation requires no method and should happen while living not sitting still. Both agree on the importance of observing without judgment to free oneself from sanskaras, thoughts, and the concepts of birth and rebirth.

1. Vipassana Krishnamurti
The path is long and requires discipline There is no path
we can progress along the path and move towards the goal It takes no time, and there is no progress to be measured
watching without judgment, evaluation is the essence of the
method watching without judgment, evaluation is all it takes
observe the sensations in the body, for that is where the
sanskaras take shape observe the thought, the feeling, see where it comes from
the realization that all sensations are transitory is what will free the realization that all images and reactions are put together by
you from the sanskaras thought, is what will free you from thought
freedom is the first step and the last step - only the free mind can
the goal is to be free from the cycle of birth and rebirth enquire. Birth and rebirth are concepts invented by thought
the foundation of dhamma is right living, then right
understanding the way to be free is to be free: there is no 'how'
the path the Buddha followed can be followed by anyone, with
the same result each one of us has to find his own path
Right meditation is the practice of Vipassana right meditation has no method - it happens by itself or not at all
Sit quietly, observe the breath, then the sensations.. Is the meditation has to happen while living, not while sitting still
practice of meditation somewhere
