I'd be interested to hear people's thoughts on this issue, specifically the conflation of vipassana the quality with the act of meditation.

Sujato Bhikkhu on Samatha and Vipassana
by LonesomeYogurt » Sun Sep 23, 2012 5:51 pm
Gain and loss, status and disgrace,
censure and praise, pleasure and pain:
these conditions among human beings are inconstant,
impermanent, subject to change.
Knowing this, the wise person, mindful,
ponders these changing conditions.
Desirable things don’t charm the mind,
undesirable ones bring no resistance.
His welcoming and rebelling are scattered,
gone to their end,
do not exist.
- Lokavipatti Sutta
Stuff I write about things.
