The '''Vipassana movement''' (also called the '''Insight Meditation Movement''') refers to a number of branches of modern [[Theravada|Theravāda]] Buddhism, for example in the various traditions of [[India]] and supported by the traditions of [[Sri Lanka]], [[Burma]], [[Laos]] and [[Thailand]] including contemporary American Buddhist teachers such as [[Joseph Goldstein]], [[Tara Brach]], [[Gil Fronsdal]], [[Sharon Salzberg]], and [[Jack Kornfield]] (who were inspired by Theravāda teachers [[Mahasi Sayadaw]], and [[Dipa Ma]]), as well as nonsectarian derivatives from those traditions such as the movement led by [[S. N. Goenka]] (with his co-teacher wife Illaichi Devi) who studied with teacher [[U Ba Khin|Sayagyi U Ba Khin]]. The tradition of Sayagyi U Ba Khin is continued today in the International Meditation Centres led by his main disciple [[Mother Sayamagyi|Mother Saymagyi]].<ref>Fronsdal, Gil (1998) ''[http://www.insightmeditationcenter.org/articles/InsightintheUS.html Insight Meditation in the United States: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness]'' from Charles S.
