Former Buddhist monk Dhamma Tāpasā, shares profound insights into the mysteries of our human consciousness with 35 days of Positive Mind Transformation.
Vipassanā Simplified
Material & Mental
Before we can learn Vipassana Meditation we first need to understand that of Material and Mental phenomena as the two sole elements existing in a living being, and to experience them as their true nature.
Material can’t know or understand the object
Mental understands or knows the object
To further explain
When we see an object, let’s say a tree, our usual understanding is that the eye sees the tree, but in actual fact both the tree and the eye are the Material form and can never know or understand itself. The mind or consciousness is the knower of the object and therefore is the mental form. So when we See there is actually two material and one mental phenomenon existing.
As material and mental phenomenon occur through our six sense doors it is our jobs as monks or meditators to clearly distinguish or identify that which is mental and that which is material.
Hearing
On hearing there is a sound (material)
The ear that hears the sound (material)
And the consciousness that knows the sound (mental)
The meditator should note hearing, hearing, hearing
The first should be realised as sound hearing (material) (the noise)
The second should be realised as hearing sound (material) (the ear)
The third should be noted as knowing the sound (mental) (the consciousness)
Awareness
To practice Vipassana Meditation correctly the practitioner should be constantly watching, observing, that which enters through the six sense doors (hearing, seeing, tasting, smelling, touch, and consciousness) and identify the characteristics of Mental and Material within them, realisation will come as each is impermanent, forever changing, and from this ever changing conditions, suffering is realised and the true identity of Non Self or the egoless.
Only by practicing Vipassana meditation in this way and with a strong level of Samadhi Meditation, the real facts of life (impermanence, suffering and Non self) become a realisation.

Dhamma Tāpasā* (Andrew Hallas)
Dhamma Tāpasā is a former Buddhist monk and is the spiritual name given to Andrew Hallas. Dhamma’s life has been shaped by trauma, deep inquiry, and years spent living simply in nature. After searching for answers through meditation, solitude, and spiritual practice, his understanding settled around a quiet truth. That our experience of life is created from the inside out, through thought. Through stories, reflections, The Quiet Space, and gentle one-to-one conversations, Dhamma now shares a grounded approach to mental well-being for those seeking clarity, peace of mind, and a deeper trust in themselves.
