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.
Old students - Those
who have completed a 10-day Vipassana Meditation course with S.N. Goenka
or his Assistant Teachers.
10-day courses
are an introductory course to Vipassana Meditation
where the technique is taught step-by-step each day.
The courses begin after a 2-4 pm registration period and
orientation, followed by 10 full days of meditation, and
end the morning of the 11th day by 7:30am.
Old Student short courses
(1-3 days) are for any student who has completed the 10-day course with
S.N. Goenka and his assistant teachers. All old students are welcome to
apply to attend these courses, including those where it has been some
time since their last course.
Satipatthana Sutta courses
have the same timetable and discipline as 10-day course. The
difference is that in the taped evening discourses the
Satipatthana Sutta is carefully examined. This is the
principal text in which the technique of Vipassana
is systematically explained. These courses are open to serious
old students who have completed at least three 10-day courses,
have not been practising any other meditation techniques since
last 10-day course, have been practising this technique of
Vipassana for at least one year, and who are trying to maintain
the five precepts in their daily lives.
20-day Courses
are open only to serious Old Students
committed to this technique who have completed a minimum of five
10-day courses , one Satipatthana Sutta course, given Dhamma Service
at least one 10-day course, and have been practicing regularly for
at least two years. Application for these courses must be made with a
Long Course Application Form.
Applications must be submitted well in advance as
processing may take some time. Student who speak neither English
or one of the other announced course languages may apply for the
course, however acceptance into the course will depend on the
availability of required course materials, suitable translators
and permission of the teacher conducting the course.
Teenagers' Anapana Courses
are available for teens in different age ranges
from 13-18 years old. Their parents/guardians do not have
to be Vipassana meditators.
