Vipassana Hong Kong, Tung Wan, Lantau Island, Hong Kong
Centre Location: Website | Map
** Unless noted otherwise, course instructions are given in the following language(s): English / Cantonese

Dhamma Muttā, meaning the “Pearl of Dhamma”, is located in the leafy valley of Tung Wan of South Lantau Island, Hong Kong. Having Shek Pik Reservoir and Tung Wan Beach in its vicinity and being 22km away from the Hong Kong International Airport, this permanent centre is secluded from the city and yet is a convenient location offering a tranquil environment ideal for meditation. With the first two phases of facilities in operation and a capacity of over 80 students, Dhamma Muttā is the main venue in Hong Kong for 10-day courses.

Hang Tau non-permanent centre has been the first place in the territory dedicated exclusively to the teaching of Vipassana meditation since 1999. Originally farmland, it is located in a quiet village of Hang Tau in Sheung Shui. It is accessible by public transportation with basic facilities of living quarters accommodating about 50 students. Short courses are held all year round with occasional 10-day courses.

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.

Satipatthana Sutta Courses have the same timetable and discipline as 10-day courses. 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 sat (not including courses served) 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 their meditation practice and the five precepts in their daily lives, at the very minimum from the time of applying to the course.

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.
