In the suttas, the term "Vipassanā" is most often expressed with the phrase: *X yathābhūtaṁ sammappaññāya daṭṭhabbaṁ*

This is a comment from Ven. Dhammanado to someone who tried to despise Vipassana using a biased analysis.

@alaber

If you look at the number of suttas where the word vipassanā appears, compare to the number of suttas where the words samatha, jhāna, and samādhi appear, you will see that the word vipassanā appears very rarely

I don’t think much can be inferred from that, for in the suttas vipassanā is most often expressed not with the word “vipassanā”, but rather with the phrase:

X yathābhūtaṁ sammappaññāya daṭṭhabbaṁ

“X should be seen as it really is with right understanding.”

Of this phrase, there are 216 occurrences in the first four Nikāyas:

DN. 3
MN. 74
SN. 111
AN. 28

With the internet, the Texts have gone to the hands of people, who remind others the incident of “monkey with the razor.”

Actually there was a rule (and still is a rule) that monks should not teach line by line to an unordained person (including samanera). At that time, the texts were only held in memory.

Pac. 4. Should any bhikkhu have an unordained person recite Dhamma
line by line (with him), it is to be confessed.

So now we have these analysis tool, and myself is to blame with TPR and TPP.
But we have SuttaCentral (non Theravada website) and DPR, tipitaka.app as well as CSCD which started it all.
