Developing Sustainability through Meditation

Abstract

Focusing on the Indian prison system, this research article presents two case studies to support the thesis that Vipassanā meditation practiced by individuals can lead to sustainable outcomes at societal and global levels. The related literature was examined to glean confirmed benefits of Vipassanā meditation. Two case studies clearly identify that the benefits of meditation can be manifested at societal and global levels. The research also refers to Burman (2009) to corroborate the benefits referred to in the literature, and to provide another example to indicate how the benefits can manifest at global levels
