Vipassana Meditation

The technique of Vipassana is a simple, practical way to achieve real peace of mind and to lead a happy, useful
life. Vipassana means to see things as they really are. It is a logical process of mental purification through
self-observation. Vipassana is a non-sectarian technique, which has the capacity to transform the human mind
and character.

To learn Vipassana it is necessary to take a ten-day residential course under the guidance of a qualified
teacher. For the duration of the course, students remain within the course premises, having no contact with
the outside world. They follow a demanding daily schedule which includes about ten hours of sitting
meditation. They also observe silence, not communicating with fellow student; however, they are free to
discuss meditation related questions with the teacher. There is no fee charged. The courses are financed by
the donations by the old students who have completed a prior course and wish to share the benefits they
themselves received by giving donations.

Vipassana courses are conducted regularly at various centers in India and around the world. Address and
contact details for the centers in Gujarat and the main center are given below.
