WELCOME TO DHAMMA PADIPA
The Vipassana Centre Western Australia in the Brookton Shire offers residential courses in Vipassana meditation as taught by S.N. Goenka.
To learn Vipassana Meditation one needs to immerse oneself in the teaching in order to develop one's own experience during a residential ten day course.
The Vipassana Centre Western Australia is one of many centres around the world dedicated exclusively to the teaching of Vipassana meditation as taught by S.N. Goenka in the tradition of Sayagyi U Ba Khin.
ABOUT
VIPASSANA
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. 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.
DIVERSITY
The Vipassana Centre Western Australia, Dhamma Padipa, welcomes all to our courses.
Despite our diverse beginnings and our unique lives, when we come to a Vipassana course we are united by a common cause and a common purpose, to solve the mystery of human suffering.
ABOUT OUR
COURSES
All courses offered at the Vipassana Meditation Centre, Dhamma Padipa, are conducted by assistant teachers of S.N. 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.
Each student who attends a Vipassana course is given this gift by a previous student. There is no charge for either the teaching, or for room and board. All Vipassana courses worldwide are run on a strictly voluntary donation basis. At the end of your course, if you have benefited from the experience, you are welcome to donate for the coming course, according to your volition and your means.
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.
