Dhamma Passaddhi, which translates to 'Tranquillity of Dhamma,' offers Vipassana meditation courses in the scenic Northern Rivers area of New South Wales. While the organization is actively working towards establishing a permanent meditation center, courses are currently held at various rented locations. This flexible approach allows them to bring the teachings to different communities within the region. The focus here is on the deep, silent practice of Vipassana as taught by S.N. Goenka, providing a structured environment for serious meditators. Participants can expect a rigorous schedule designed to cultivate inner peace and wisdom through direct experience. The commitment to finding a permanent home suggests a growing and dedicated community, making it an interesting option for those looking to engage with Vipassana in a dynamic setting.
