The Austrian Vipassana Trust has been established in 2008 in order to serve the growing demand for Vipassana courses in Austria. From 2008 till 2010 three courses could be organized annually at rented sites with capacities of up to 150 persons. Since 2013 five are being organized yearly.

After having looked for a real estate property for several years, the Trust for Vipassana Meditation has found a suitable land in the region of Upper Austria the beginning of 2017. There, the Vipassana centre Dhamma Muditā will be built . Muditā means "joy". It will be the 13th centre in Europe offering 10-day or longer courses. It is a great opportunity to create and develop this centre, so that more people will have the opportunity to experience Vipassana and to deepen their practice.

Registration opens at about 9 pm in summer time and 8 pm in winter time (Vienna Time).
Applications will be ranked according to the time of registration. The system remembers the time you start the registration, so you have up to 30 minutes to complete your form thoroughly. 

NEW participants can apply for ONE 10-day course only, OLD participants for TWO 10-day courses within 12 months. 
There must be a gap of at least 3 months between all courses (except 1- and 3-day courses and service).

    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 are 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.

    Bilingual courses are courses which are taught in two languages. All students will hear daily meditation instructions in both languages. The evening discourses will be heard separately.

    Meditation courses are held at both center and non-center locations. Meditation centers are dedicated facilities where courses are held regularly throughout the year. Before meditation centers were established in this tradition, all courses were held at temporary sites, such as campgrounds, religious retreat centers, churches and the like. Today, in regions where centers have not yet been established by local students of Vipassana who live in the area, 10 Day meditation courses are held at non-center course sites.


    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 7:30 am.


    Children's Courses are open for all children aged 8-12 years old who wish to learn to meditate. Their parents/guardians do not have to be meditators.

    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.

    Courses for children and teens are open for ages 8 to 18 years old (only Boys or only Girls).


    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.


    Work Periods have been set aside to work on a variety of Centre maintenance, construction, household and gardening projects. All Old Students are welcome to participate. The daily program will include three group sittings with morning and afternoon work periods. On selected evenings, there will be tapes played of special discourses and talks that S.N. Goenka has given to Old Students.
