Dhamma Dharā is one of more than 120 centers worldwide offering courses in Vipassana Meditation, as taught by S.N.Goenka and his assistant teachers in the tradition of Sayagyi U Ba Khin. Almost 2,000 students per year attend our residential 10-day meditation courses.

For a general introduction to Vipassana Meditation, visit the International Vipassana Meditation website, then return to Course Information or About the Vipassana Meditation Center.

Several Introductory Videos about Vipassana Meditation are also available online.

Construction Update: Construction in and around the Pagoda will be ongoing for the foreseeable future, except during long courses. The construction will be taking place in different areas of the center from time to time. Nail guns, construction workers' voices, etc., will be audible from 7am to 6pm. We believe you will still reap great benefits from the course, despite the construction noise.

Starting in late October, 2012 and continuing through the coming year (except during long courses), there will be construction on a new teacher's residence in front of the Dhamma hall. During this period, courses will continue as scheduled. However, because construction will be taking place directly in front of the meditation hall, it may be quite noisy at times with heavy machinery, nail guns, construction workers' voices, etc., clearly audible during meditation hours.

If you have applied to sit or serve a course during this period and feel this noise may be too distracting for you and need to cancel, please let us know as soon as possible.
