Site Editorial Commentary：Official Dhamma.org android mobile App for Vipassana Meditation

This is the official Dhamma.org Android mobile app for Vipassana meditation, as taught by S.N. Goenka in the tradition of Sayagyi U Ba Khin. It serves as a comprehensive guide and resource for both new and experienced practitioners of this ancient Indian meditation technique.

Vipassana Meditation, meaning 'to see things as they really are,' is an age-old technique from India, rediscovered and taught as a practical method for achieving inner peace and well-being. It is a universal remedy for universal ills, an Art of Living. Vipassana enables self-purification through self-observation. Practitioners start by focusing on the natural breath to develop concentration. With heightened awareness, they then observe the changing sensations of the body and mind, gaining insight into the universal truths of impermanence, suffering, and egolessness. This direct experiential understanding leads to mental purification and liberation.

The app provides information about 10-day residential courses where the Vipassana Meditation technique is taught. During these courses, participants learn the fundamentals of the method and practice it to experience its benefits. These courses are offered free of charge, with all expenses covered by donations from past students who wish to share the benefits of Vipassana with others.

Find course locations at numerous Meditation Centers and Non-Center locations worldwide. The app allows you to view course schedules for each location and, in most cases, apply for admission online. Dhamma.org has meditation centers in operation and in development across Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania.
