All courses are run solely on a donation basis. All expenses are met by donations from those who, having completed a course and experienced the benefits of Vipassana, wish to give others the same opportunity. Neither the Teacher nor the assistant teachers receive remuneration; they and those who serve the courses volunteer their time. Thus Vipassana is offered free from commercialisation.

New students - Those who have not completed a 10-day Vipassana Meditation course with S.N. Goenka or his Assistant Teachers.
If you have practised other meditation techniques or even vipassana meditation in another tradition for the purposes of your first course in this tradition you will be considered a new student.

Old students - Those who have completed a 10-day Vipassana Meditation course with S.N. Goenka or his Assistant Teachers.

Old students have the opportunity to provide Dhamma Service at the courses listed above.
