Dhamma Suvatthi

Jetvan Vipassana Meditation Centre<br />Dhamma Suvatthi, Sravasti, Uttar Pradesh, India
Dhamma Suvatthi, meaning 'Welfare of Dhamma' is situated in the ancient capital city of Shravasti, the city so often mentioned in the life of the Buddha. The Centre was established in June 2003 in the serene surrounding of the historical Jetvan where Lord Buddha stayed for 25 rainy season retreats. The nine acre meditation centre is situated across the road from the Jetavana Archaeological Park, next to a government rest house, and down the road from several monasteries. As the exact boundaries of the original Vihara are unknown, it is quite likely that Dhamma Suvatthi is located on a section of the original grounds of the Vihara.

10-Day

10-day Courses are an introductory course to Vipassana Meditation where the technique is taught step-by-step each day. The courses begin after a 2 - 4 pm registration period and orientation, followed by 10 full days of meditation, and end the morning of the 11th day by 7:30 am.

20-Day

20-day Courses are open only to serious Old Students committed to this technique who have completed a minimum of five 10-day courses , one Satipatthana Sutta course, given Dhamma Service at least one 10-day course, and have been practicing regularly for at least two years.

30-Day

30-day Courses are open only to serious Old Students committed to this technique who have completed a minimum of six 10-day courses (one since their first 20-day course), one 20-day course, one Satipatthana Sutta course, and have been practicing regularly for at least two years.

45-Day

45-day Courses are open only to persons involved in Dhamma Service and Assistant Teachers who have completed a minimum of seven 10-day courses (one since their first 30-day course), two 30-day courses, one Satipatthana Sutta course, and have been practicing regularly for at least three years.

Satipatthana Sutta

Satipatthana Sutta Courses have the same timetable and discipline as 10-day courses. The difference is that in the taped evening discourses the Satipatthana Sutta is carefully examined. This is the principal text in which the technique of Vipassana is systematically explained. These courses are open to serious old students who have sat (not including courses served) at least three 10-day courses, have not been practising any other meditation techniques since last 10-day course, have been practising this technique of Vipassana for at least one year, and who are trying to maintain their meditation practice and the five precepts in their daily lives, at the very minimum from the time of applying to the course.
