Central Texas Vipassana Meditation Center (Dhamma Sukha)

Dhamma Sukha

Central Texas Vipassana Meditation Center (Dhamma Sukha), New Ulm, Texas, United States
Dhamma Sukha, which means Happiness of Dhamma, is an upcoming Vipassana center near Houston, that will cater primarily to the San Antonio, Austin, and Houston areas. ​CTVA purchased 32-acre land ​along with a 2000 Square feet state of the art mobile home in 2018 in the rural part of Central Texas. The scenic and secluded "Dhamma Sukha" is completely covered in old-growth pines, hardwood trees and underbrush. It lies at the end of a road with no traffic and so makes it a perfectly serene and quiet place for meditation. It is centrally and conveniently located, about 1.5 hours from Houston and Austin and 2.5 hours from San Antonio.
