More Info & Bookings

Vipassana means seeings things as they really are. It is a practical method of self-awareness that makes it possible to face the tensions and problems of daily life in a calm and balanced way. This path of mental purification is unique in its simplicity, lack of dogma and, above all, its results. A 10-day residential course of instruction is an opportunity to learn this technique and experience the benefits of a period of intensive meditation.

Vipassana meditation can be practiced by anyone. There are no charges for the courses, not even to cover the cost of food and accommodation. Course expenses are supported entirely by voluntary donations. Neither the assistant teachers of S.N. Goenka who conduct the courses, nor the organizers, receive any renumeration for their services; they and those who serve the courses volunteer their time. Thus Vipassana is offered with purity of purpose, free from commercialization.

Policies & Conditions

Courses are run solely on a donation basis.

Donations are accepted only from old students, that is, those who have completed at least one course with S. N. Goenka or one of his assistant teachers. This is because they have realized for themselves the benefits of this meditation practice. When you have completed a course you will be considered an old student. At the end of the course everyone is welcome to give a donation, small or large according to one's own volition. One gives a donation not with the idea of paying for what one has received. It is rather with the understanding that "Because someone donated so that I could take this course, may I now donate for someone else to receive the same benefit."

Each center is financially independent, and these donations are the only source of funding. There is no wealthy foundation or individual sponsoring them.
