Additional Information

Featured Experience: Uncover profound perspectives and methods in Vipassana meditation

Vipassana symbolizes ‘observing things as they truthfully exist’. It is a self-cleansing technique achieved through self-inspection. This was taught by the Buddha in India around 2500 years ago, however, it doesn’t attach itself to Buddhism or any other faith, and can be exercised by anyone without conflict with current religious convictions or non-religious beliefs. Buddhist meditation incorporates practicing the Eightfold Noble Path, instructed by Buddha, which can be fractionated into three segments: higher education in Morality, Concentration, and Wisdom.
