WELCOME TO DHAMMA SĪMANTA Dhamma SÄ«manta (Boundary of Dhamma) is one of the many centers around the world, dedicated to the practice of Vipassana Meditation as taught by S.N. Goenka and his assistant teachers in the tradition of Sayagyi U Ba Khin. Introduction to Vipassana Meditation Vipassana, which means “to see things as they really areâ€, 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 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 courses all over the world. . Applying for a Course To learn Vipassana Meditation, one needs to develop one's own experience during a residential ten-day course. To apply for a course and to understand the requirements, find a convenient date in the Course Schedule, click on the course dates, carefully read the Code of Discipline and complete the application fully and completely. S. N. GOENKA Satya Narayan Goenka was the foremost lay teacher of Vipassana meditation of our time. Background: Although Indian by descent, Mr. Goenka was born and raised in Myanmar (Burma). While living there, he had the good fortune to come into contact with Sayagyi U Ba Khin and to learn the technique of Vipassana from him. After receiving training from his teacher for 14 years, Mr. Goenka settled in India and began teaching Vipassana in 1969. In a country still sharply divided by differences of caste and religion, the courses offered by Mr. Goenka soon attracted thousands of people from every part of society. In addition, many people from countries around the world came to join courses in Vipassana meditation. Over a period of almost 45 years, Mr. Goenka and the teachers appointed by him taught hundreds of thousands of people in courses in India and other countries, East and West. Today, meditation centers established under his guidance are operating in Asia, Europe, the Americas, Africa and Australasia.
Presently, the center is able to accommodate 122 participants. Serving students from all over the world, Dhamma Sīmanta currently offers two 10-day residential courses per month which are open to all, as well as occasional courses for old students (those who have completed a ten-day course.) One day courses for children are also held regularly. The modern Thai-style architecture consists of facilities such as; large meditation hall, male/female residential quarters (all single rooms with attached bathrooms), male/female dining halls, teachers’ residence, center office, kitchen, mini hall for English discourse and large garden with area for walking and relaxation.
A simple vegetarian menu, developed to satisfy the needs of most students, is offered at all courses. Please note, no outside food is allowed at the center, and we are unable to accommodate special food requests. However, if you have food requirements because of a medically diagnosed condition, such as diabetes or pregnancy, please contact the center immediately to see if we can meet your needs.
