Vipassana Centers
Dhammodaya, meaning the 'Ascent of Dhamma', was established in June l999 under the official name of 'Taiwan Vipassana Meditation Foundation'. It is situated on a plateau at an elevation of 450 meters, adjacent to Taichung City, the third largest city in Taiwan in the middle part of the island. The Centre covers an area of 10,000 square meters. Dhammodaya is a busy Centre that runs about 24 ten-day courses annually, two Satipatthana Sutta courses, and one or two three-day old student courses.
Dharmaj non-center has dormitories for men and women with total capacity of 50 students.
Area East includes the provinces of Castellón, Valencia, Alicante, Murcia and Albacete, but do not correspond to the same community. Their mutual proximity makes them a compact core and a good place for people to come to meditate together. Located in a protected natural landscape of great beauty and surrounded by the magical and captivating energy of Sierra Calderona, the Bethany Hostel is a natural balcony over the Mediterranean Sea, from which you can see much of the Gulf of Valencia. The nearby village Segart is near to Sagunto and lies only 20 km away from Valencia. The climatic environment is typically Mediterranean, as its altitude and being about ten miles from the sea, makes the tempaerature very pleasant and mild. Also, for students who have completed a ten-day course, intensive four-hour group meditations are held in Valencia and Denia (Alicante) one Sunday a month. Also, for old students, there are also weekly meditation sessions in Valencia and Denia for which no registration is required.
The Ghana Dhamma Practitioners Foundation organizes non-center Vipassana Meditation courses in different locations around Ghana. We usually offer one 10-day course per year as well as 1-day refresher courses for old students (those who have already taken the ten day course).
