Buddhism: Is Mindfulness (Vipassana) Meditation and Analytical Mediation the same?

How does one practice these meditations? And, how does one practice Purification Meditation, say at the end of the day?

Vipassana meditation is sometimes considered “analytical” meditation, although the latter term is rarely used.

This link will take you to a variety of useful information on Vipassana and Metta meditations. The very first link is a talk by Joseph Goldstein on how to do Vipassana meditation. Goldstein is an acknowledged Vipassana master.

To the best of my knowledge, the Vipassana/Theravada tradition does not emphasize purification meditation. This type of meditation is most common in the Tibetan/Tantric tradition. Here’s a good description of it:
