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.
Our teacher
The Vipassana group is led and taught by John DeGrace. John has been teaching Vipassana meditation since 2000.
