Vipassana, which means to see things as they really are, is one of India's most ancient techniques of meditation. It was taught in India more than 2500 years ago as a universal remedy for universal ills, i.e., an Art of Living. For those who are not familiar with Vipassana Meditation, an Introduction to Vipassana by Mr. Goenka & related videos and Questions & Answers about Vipassana are available.

Vipassana Courses

The technique of Vipassana Meditation is taught at ten-day residential courses during which participants learn the basics of the method, and practice sufficiently to experience its beneficial results. There are no charges for the courses - not even to cover the cost of food and accommodation. All expenses are 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.

If you wish to take a course, please visit the page of “How to Apply” and read the Code of Discipline carefully.  You can then choose a centre, check the course schedule and apply online. No previous experience of meditation is required.

Vipassana Centres

There is one centre in Hong Kong dedicated exclusively to the teaching of Vipassana meditation: Dhamma Muttā at Tung Wan on South Lantau Island. You can also visit the International Vipassana website for information on centres around the world in this tradition.

Children and Teens Anapana Meditation Courses

Specially adapted courses give children (aged 8-12) and teenagers (aged 13-18) the opportunity to learn Anapana meditation (the first stage in Vipassana) during a one-day course.
