Introduction to Vipassana Meditation Vipassana, which means to see things as they really are, is an ancient technique of meditation which was taught by Gautama the Buddha more than 2500 years ago as a universal remedy for human suffering, i.e., an Art of Living. To those who are not familiar with Vipassana Meditation, we recommend you visit the International Vipassana website for an introduction. Public talks about Vipassana Meditation and other events are periodically scheduled to provide interested persons with information about the technique. Audio from public talks given by S.N. Goenka are available at Pariyatti.org 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 Ten Day Course date in the course schedule, click on the course dates, carefully read the Introduction to the Technique and Code of Discipline and complete the application fully and completely. Review the course checklist for items and instructions for your upcoming course. For ride sharing information please visit our online rideshare board.
