Vipassana, which means to see things as they really are, is one of India’s most ancient techniques of meditation. The non-sectarian technique of Vipassana was taught by the Buddha more than 2500 years ago as a universal remedy for universal ills. Students are invited to learn the basics of this technique during a residential ten-day course.
Anyone may apply for a course – Vipassana Centres welcome all! Although we all come from diverse beginnings and lead unique lives, when we come to a Vipassana course we are united by a common cause, a common purpose — to solve the mystery of human suffering. As such, Dhamma Surabhi seeks to provide a safe environment where persons of varying races, identities, experiences, and abilities can learn and become established in this technique.
To learn Vipassana Meditation one needs to develop one's own experience during a residential ten day course. A description and timetable of a typical ten day course may be found in the Code of Discipline. If you are interested in attending a ten day course, please review the prerequisite and application sections for guidelines and instructions, then proceed to the course schedule to select a course and apply.
