AboutVipassana

The technique of Vipassana meditation is a practical way to achieve peace of mind and live a happy, productive life. It is learned by attending a ten day residential course with a qualified teacher where the student is free from distractions so that the reality within can be observed. This technique helps practitioners come out of suffering; it is non-sectarian and is suitable to all people regardless of religion, gender, race or nationality.

Diversity

Before applying for a course you should read and accept the code of discipline which explains what Vipassana is and is not, and what is expected of you when attending a course, which is a serious undertaking.

About ourcourses

All courses offered at the Vipassana Meditation Centre, Dhamma Bhūmi, are conducted by assistant teachers of SN Goenka using audio and video recordings of Mr Goenka’s instructions and discourses. All ten day courses begin the evening of the arrival day and end early morning of the departure day.

There are no charges for the courses - not even to cover the cost of food and accommodation. Expenses are largely met by donations from people who, having completed a course and experienced the benefits of Vipassana, wish to give others the opportunity to also benefit.

Please note that many courses are fully booked 2-3 months in advance. We encourage you to apply early in order to allow time to make travel arrangements once registered. An application is required to register for all courses. Please apply to sit only one ten day course at one centre at a time. Any additional applications will not be processed.
