Vipassana Meditation
Introductory courses
Course details
You will be given a theoretical background to Samatha (Concentration) meditation and shown how it differs from Vipassana (Insight) meditation. You will be shown how meditation forms an integral part of 'Bhavana’ mental development and how it relates the Noble Eightfold Path.
You will gradually be guided through exercises to improve
your concentration and bare awareness "sati",including standing, walking, sitting and lying down exercises.
Vipassana Stage 2 courses
These courses are highly recommended for those who have completed the House of Dhamma Introductory course or who have already practised in the Mahasri Sayadaw (or Section 5
Wat Mahadhatu) tradition and who wish to brush up their practice or to refine it.
You will be introduced to and practise follow-up walking
and sitting exercises to improve your concentration and
bare awareness "sati".
................................................................
Vipassana Stage 3 courses
These courses are more suitable for those who have already practiced extensively in the Mahasri Sayadaw (or Section 5 Wat Mahadhatu) tradition and who wish to brush up their practice or to refine it.
You are introduced to and practise fairly intensive walking
and sitting exercises to improve your concentration and
bare awareness "sati". Note: You will benefit more from this course if you already practise Vipassana regularly.
