Vipassana, which means to see things as they really are, is one of India's most ancient techniques of meditation. It was taught in India more than 2500 years ago as a universal remedy for universal ills, i.e., an Art of Living.
The technique of Vipassana Meditation is taught at ten-day residential courses during which participants learn the basics of the method, and practice sufficiently to experience its beneficial results. There are no charges for the courses - not even to cover the cost of food and accommodation. All expenses are met by donations from people who, having completed a course and experienced the benefits of Vipassana, wish to give others the opportunity to also benefit.
The technique of Vipassana meditation that is taught in Executive courses is identical to that taught in regular 10-day courses. The only difference is that in an Executive course there are a few additional talks and sets of questions and answers by Mr. Goenka, who was a businessman himself for many years, that are specifically directed to using the principles of Vipassana to artfully deal with the problems and stresses of the business world.
The Dhamma Pattana center is situated inside the Global Vipassana Pagoda Complex. To reach it you have to come to Borivali and take a ferry boat from the Gorai jetty.
