Abstract

Vipassana is one of the most ancient techniques of mindful meditation found and practiced in India. History of vipassana can be traced back to 2500 years ago, when Gautama Buddha rediscovered this ancient Indian practice. Buddha taught vipassana as a universal remedy for all illness. Vipassana is self-transformation technique through self-observation that brings deep awareness about mind and body interconnection. The present study aimed to compare the level of self-esteem and self-efficacy of adults who practice vipassana and also those who do not practice vipassana. The research was conducted on 32 number of adults, among them 16 adults practiced vipassana and the rest 16 did not have awareness about the practice. Questionnaire survey and interview method was utilized in the collection of data. Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) and Rosenberg self-esteem scale was used in the research. To analyse the data mean, SD and t-test was used. The research emphasized the relevance of vipassana in today's modern world for better mental health.

内观冥想是一种获得良好自尊和自我效能的本土方法

内观是印度最古老的正念冥想技巧之一。内观的历史可以追溯到2500年前，当时乔达摩佛陀重新发现了这个古老的印度实践。佛陀教导内观是治疗所有疾病的通用疗法。内观是一种自我转化的技巧，通过自我观察，带来对身心联系的深刻意识。本研究旨在比较练习内观的成年人和不练习内观的成年人的自尊和自我效能水平。这项研究对32名成年人进行了调查，其中16名成年人练习了内观，其余16名没有意识到这种练习。数据的收集采用问卷调查和访谈法。本研究采用广义自我效能量表(GSES)和Rosenberg自尊量表。采用标准差和t检验分析数据均值。该研究强调了内观在当今现代社会与更好的心理健康的相关性。
