Overview

Insight (Vipassana) meditation forms the basis of the retreats, but there may also be sessions on Metta
(Loving Kindness) practice. Emphasis will be placed on the integration of the spiritual dimensions of being
with those of the physical in everyday life.

Standing, walking, sitting and lying down meditations will be held in group sessions and as individual practice. Vegetarian food and single room accommodation will be provided. Meditators keep eight precepts while on
the retreat. The retreats are open to all English-speaking adults. It is not necessary to be a Buddhist to take part.

Instruction will be in English, with some Thai translation as necessary. The fee is 3,000 baht payable on arrival
at the centre.

A mini van will be leaving the House of Dhamma 2,30 pm on the first day to go to the YBAT centre.
You will need to book a place in the van if you wish to travel this way.
