** Unless noted otherwise, course instructions are given in the following language(s): English / Mandarin

Vipassana first came to Taiwan in 1995, and two Vipassana centers have been set up one after another as of today. The first center is Dhammodaya (“Rising of Dhamma”), which is located in the central Taiwan city of Taichung, and offers ten-day courses mostly, as well as courses for old students such as Satipatthana courses. The second center Dhamma Vikasa (“Progress in Dhamma”), located in the southern city of Kaohsiung, is slated to be a long-course center, and offers at least one twenty-day course each year, besides regular ten-day courses. One-day courses, inspirational for old students, are held in non-center locations offered by old students. Anapana courses for children and teens have also been held here for many years, both in the centers and non-center locations.

How to Apply to Attend or Serve a Course
  1. Access the application form by clicking Apply for the desired course. Old students will be given the option to serve.

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 Anapana 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 open for all teenagers aged 13-18 years old who wish to learn to meditate. Their parents/guardians do not have to be meditators.
