WELCOME TO DHAMMA UJJALA

Located in the tranquil Clare Valley just over the ridge from the town of Clare, Dhamma Ujjala (‘bright dhamma’) is one of many places around the world where Vipassana meditation courses are held. This non-sectarian technique aims for the total eradication of mental impurities and the resultant highest happiness of full liberation.

The Centre offers residential courses in Vipassana meditation as taught by SN Goenka in the tradition of Sayagyi U Ba Khin.

ABOUT VIPASSANA

The technique of Vipassana meditation is a practical way to achieve peace of mind and live a happy, productive life. It is learned by attending a ten day residential course with a qualified teacher where the student is free from distractions so that the reality within can be observed. This technique helps practitioners come out of suffering; it is non-sectarian and is suitable to all people regardless of religion, gender, race or nationality.

Before applying for a course you should read and accept the Code of Discipline which explains what Vipassana is and is not, and what is expected of you when attending a course, which is a serious undertaking.

ABOUT OUR COURSES

All courses offered at Dhamma Ujjala are conducted by assistant teachers of S. N. Goenka using audio and video recordings of Mr. Goenka’s instructions and discourses. All ten day courses begin the evening of the arrival day and end early morning of the departure day.

APPLY EARLY

Please note that many courses are full 2-3 months in advance. We encourage you to apply early in order to allow time to make travel arrangements once registered. An application is required to register for all courses.
