Vipassana Meditation Centre Tasmania Welcome to Dhamma Pabha

The Vipassana Meditation Centre Tasmania near Bridgewater offers residential courses in Vipassana meditation as taught by S.N. Goenka.

AboutVipassana

The technique of Vipassana meditation is a practical way to achieve peace of mind and live a happy, productive life. It is learned by attending a 10-day residential course with a qualified teacher where the student is free from distractions so that the reality within can be observed. This technique helps practitioners come out of suffering; it is non-sectarian and is suitable to all people regardless of religion, gender, race or nationality.

Diversity

Before applying for a course you should read and accept the code of discipline which explains what Vipassana is and is not, and what is expected of you when attending a course, which is a serious undertaking.

About ourcourses

All ten day courses begin the evening of the arrival day and end early morning of the departure day.
