Vipassana Meditation
Vipassana is one of India's most ancient techniques of meditation taught more than 2500 years ago. It offers a remedy for universal ills through a practical method of self-awareness, allowing one to face the tensions and problems of daily life in a balanced way. For those who are not familiar with Vipassana Meditation, an Introduction to Vipassana by Mr. Goenka and Questions & Answers about Vipassana are available.
About Oregon Vipassana Association
The Oregon Vipassana Association organizes non-center courses in different locations around Oregon. We usually offer one or two ten day courses per year as well as short 1 to 3 day refresher courses for old students (those who have already taken the ten day course). To learn Vipassana Meditation one needs to develop one's own experience during a residential ten day course. A description and timetable of a typical ten day course may be found in the Code of Discipline.
Course Information
Course registration can be done online, or by mailing/faxing in application forms. More details and a list of offered courses is provided on the Course Schedule webpage.
Old Students
"Old students" are those who have completed a 10-day Vipassana Meditation
course with S.N. Goenka or his Assistant Teachers. Opportunities to serve and
schedule of weekly group sittings available on
