[[Image:Kamalashila.JPG|frame|[[Kamalashila]] whose ''[[Stages of Meditation]]'' described Vipashyana practice]]'''Vipashyana''' (Skt. ''vipaśyanā''; Tib. [[ལྷག་མཐོང་]], ''lhaktong''; [[Wyl.]] ''lhag mthong'') — 'clear seeing' or 'insight' [[meditation]].

==Etymology==
*''Vi'' is short for ''vishesa'', which means ‘special’, ‘superior’, or ‘particular’. 
*''Pashyana'' , means ‘to see’ or ‘to look’. 

*''Lhak'' is ‘unique’ and 
*''tong'' is ‘seeing’. 

So, it means ‘to look at things in a very direct and especially clear way’. 

==Prerequisites for Vipashyana==
[[Kamalashila]]’s second ''[[Stages of Meditation]]'' (Skt. ''Bhāvanākrama'') mentions three prerequisites for developing vipashyana:
#Reliance upon a spiritual teacher<br>
#Genuinely engaging in extensive study<br>
#Appropriate reflection<br>
