r/streamentry is a subreddit with 43k members. The community frequently discusses meditation, practice, stream entry, awareness, and awakening, and the most common flair used is practice, insight, vipassana, health, and jhāna.
A place for open, friendly and serious discussion related to the practice of meditation and other techniques aimed at developing concentration, increasing the power of conscious awareness, and producing insight leading to awakening.
We try to understand Awakening to be a practical and attainable goal that can be from many paths or directions; we welcome all practitioners, including those from Buddhist, Secular, and other backgrounds.
