Vipassana literally means "clear seeing"

| The historical Buddha's goal was clearly seeing nirvana in this very life. Theravada follows this. |

| Buddhism goes beyond mind to mysticism. |
Samatha means "calm" [1], "serenity" [2], "tranquility of awareness" [Web 1]. They are two qualities of mind cultivated in tandem in Buddhist practice, with profound calm coupled with mindfulness (dispassionate awareness) serving as the basis for insight knowledges.
In the Pāli language canon and the Āgama, these qualities are not specific practices but elements of "a single path." They are "fulfilled" with the development (bhāvanā, "cultivation") of mindfulness (sati) and meditation (jhānas, lit. the meditative "absorptions") and other path-factors [4][5].
While absorption (jhāna) has a central role in the Buddhist path, vipassanā is rarely mentioned separately. It is usually described along with samatha [4][5] because they are steps towards one goal: liberating wisdom (panna, Sanskrit prajna). More: samatha-vipassanā
