Vipassana Meditation
Vipassana, which means to see things as they really are, is one of India's most ancient techniques of meditation. It was taught in India more than 2500 years ago as a universal remedy for universal ills, an Art of Living. Vipassana is the process of self-purification by self-observation. One begins by observing the natural breath to concentrate the mind. Then, with a sharpened awareness, one proceeds to observe the changing nature of body and mind and experiences the universal truths of impermanence, suffering and egolessness. This truth-realization by direct experience results in mental purification.
Courses
The technique of Vipassana Meditation is taught at 10-day residential courses during which participants learn the basics of the method, and practice sufficiently to experience its beneficial results. There are no charges for the courses - not even to cover the cost of food and accommodation. All expenses are met by donations from people who, having completed a course and experienced the benefits of Vipassana, wish to give others the opportunity to also benefit.
Locations
Courses are given in numerous Meditation Centers and at Non-Center course locations. Each location has its own schedule of courses. In most cases, an application for admission to these courses can be completed online using this App. There are numerous Centers currently in operation and more in development around the world, including Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania.

The app is not working well with latest update. For listening to chants or audio online, the screen has to remain on else the audio stops. This is not ideal
Please allow log book editing. I just came back from a 10 day Vipassana course and it is a shame to not log in all the hours spent meditating!
The app is getting crashed during daily practice sessions from last few days. Please look in to it.
Great app. Just find one issue that when I choose a language (non English) under Library tab and switch to other tab, and switch back to Library tab, the language will be reset to English. The downloaded contents will only be shown when correct language is selected so it's kinda annoying. Can we please let the app memorize the language I setup? Thanks!
In the latest update usage has become very complicated. There are too many clicks involved to reach the downloaded files.. the downloaded files should be made more accessible and easily visible. currently one gets confused as to where the downloaded files are located... It's almost unusable for elders. Request to do the necessary changes in the next updates. Much Metta 🙏
Complete app, and very useful to keep the practice and the teachings at home after the course. Please if possible, try to develop a way that you can increase the font size (small, medium, large). I have difficulty reading small letters. Metta.
Hello!! I am an old Student, and have attended one 10 course. But I have not been provided with any login ID and Password. Please guide me through the process for creating the same. For access the meditation audio clips for practice of meditation. Thank you.
Kind request to provide audio discourse download and save to mobile option, so it's convenient to transfer to other devices and access to elders and parents. All can't use smart phone. Thank you.
GreatApp. Metta to all behind this initiative. The following feature will make this app even greater. 1. Flexivle Timer function for more than one hour of contunuous sitting or user defined timer setting. 2. A playlist to combine say, chanting and group sitting continuously playing in playlist order. Much metta
Brilliant, informative and just what I was looking for to keep me on the path just after completing my very first of hopefully many, ten day vipassana courses. This is another amazing facility to aid us along in establishing ourselves in vipassana meditation.
Very very helpful. The best part is we can download and play it offline. Everything is available for self practice. It's blessing for old students in time of Covid
Thanks for great app. So convenience that all material are in one place. My phone have limited available storage. Can you consider to offer an option to select eternal sd card as storage for doawload audio.
I'm new and I'm trying to register as new but I found difficulty in doing it so, some technical errors sir, please do fix it. Anapana meditation is simple and working for me and I want to engage more with organisation. Good work keep going.
Fantastic app, helps me keep up with the practice. Thank you so much, its been an invaluable tool. I am, however having a hard time downloading the audio resources.
It has disciplined and focused my vipassana efforts. Doing daily. The material is invaluable and guiding to both old student and path seekers alike. Must have for vipassana. The currently meditating students number is encouraging feature.
Wouldn't make it without it! It helped me so much in keeping my practice, in the sittings, finding courses and centers... Definitely a must for Vipassana meditators.
The app shuts off 2 minutes into the meditation sit.
New password on the browser requires atleast 10 characters, but the app cannot take more than 6 characters. As a result, I have to either use a weaker password or create a new account just for the app. Could you help fix this please?
Great app! Really like the feature where it shows how may people are meditating at this moment. It motivates me to be vigilant with my meditation too.
awesome app but there is no option of CREATE ACCOUNT for OLD students. It's directly asking for username and password otherwise it's suggesting to login as New Student. Why will an old student login as a new student just because he/she has no username & password ? Please make this facility in the app. With metta....Vishal
Best app of the world .... It helped me a lot exploring me in my Insight ... I was just wondering outside before I get to this course but now after 10 day Vipassana Course I get the complete Insight .... Note : You must have to do one 10 Day Vipassana Course near your residence then use app it would be more beneficial than without doing 10 Day Course... Thank you Guruji || Bhavatu Sabba Mangalam ||
This was a great app until the 3 April 2022 update!!! Now it doesn't work smoothly anymore. The session timer used to remain visible throughout the session, but now it fades out to blank screen. The session stops working once you change phone to to airplane mode (which is essential for preventing any intrusive calls or messages while meditating)... the earlier version allowed this. Please restore these features or simply bring back the earlier version which did everything fine!
