Vipassana Meditation

The Bay Area Vipassana Center offers and supports group sittings and one-day courses for old students in Vipassana meditation as taught by S.N. Goenka, in the tradition of Sayagyi U Ba Khin.
Vipassana, which means to see things as they really are, is one of India’s most ancient techniques of meditation. It was rediscovered by Gotama Buddha more than 2500 years ago and was taught by him as a universal remedy for universal ills, i.e., an Art Of Living. This non-sectarian technique aims for the total eradication of mental impurities and the resultant highest happiness of full liberation.
