Vipassana Meditation Center
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.
Everyone seeks peace and harmony, because this is what we lack in our lives. In order to be relieved of our misery, we have to know the basic reason for it, the cause of the suffering. If we investigate the problem, it becomes clear that whenever we start generating any negativity we are bound to become unhappy.
The more one practices the Vipassana technique, the more quickly negativities dissolve. Gradually the mind becomes free and pure. A pure mind is always full of love — selfless love for all others — full of compassion, full of joy, full of equanimity in the face of any situation.
