DN#22 - Mahasatipatthana Sutta: The Four Foundations of Mindfulness ←"Many people consider this to be the most important Sutta in the entire Pali Cannon." —Leigh Brasington, famous Buddhist author

Leigh also has a meta resource for the rest of the suttas on his website, as well as several highly respected modern texts, all in English – see: http://www.leighb.com/studydn.htm

If those are all a bit wordy or too archaic for your tastes, here's a very straightforward (yet somehow surprisingly comprehensive) guide to the very popular 'Noting' technique*: http://the-wanderling.com/vipassana_meditation.html

*Noting is only one method of practicing vipassana, but it's the one I found the most results with in my own explorations of Buddhist religious meditation. It's worth spending a few tens of hours with before giving up, imo. PM me if you have questions about noting, or just reply here and tag me, don't be shy or worry about asking stupid questions, and The Wanderling's post should have you more than covered to get started with noting. 

Best of luck, p.s. love the pfp, he vape ?

I was going to link a Frank Yang video as well. He’s a great source for vipassana related stuff. 
 

Also check out this book. https://www.mctb.org/mctb2/table-of-contents/part-v-awakening/37-models-of-the-stages-of-awakening/a-revised-four-path-model/


Everybody wanna be a mystic, but nobody wanna dissolve themselves to the point of a psych ward visit.

Indeed! He inspired me to do my first Vipassana retreat.

@EdgeGod900 This is a really good book to read once you've got a regular noting practice going, as the author has a lot of experience working with meditators using that method. It's a bit full-on, but the three chapters on the three characteristics also give instructions for 1-4 techniques each.

imho the most authentic one. And I would recommend not to do it by yourself or learn it through video - take a 10 days course
