Vipassana means ‘insight’ (in the Pali language), something encountered on all Buddhist paths. It is used informally as the name of a western Theravadin Buddhist meditation practice, and properly, the method can be referred to as “samatha/vipassana”.

Meetings

We meet on Wednesday evenings from 7:00pm to 8:15pm. We sit for 45 minutes, focusing on our breath; take a short break; and then listen to a dharma talk on some aspect of Buddhism.

From time to time, the Vipassana group organizes weekend retreats with invited teachers.
