Purpose of the Association
The association pursues solely and directly the well-being of the general public by promoting a method that supports physical and mental health. This method is Vipassana meditation as taught by S.N. Goenka in the tradition of Sayagyi U Ba Khin. For this purpose, Vipassana meditation courses are regularly organized.
Target Group
There is no specific target group. People of all age groups, various social backgrounds and nationalities, different religious affiliations, and educational levels participate in Vipassana courses.
Funding
The association finances its work entirely through donations. No fees are charged for participating in the courses — not even to cover the costs for food or accomodation. All expenses are covered by donations from those who have completed a course, experienced the positive effects of Vipassana meditation, and now wish to make the same opportunity available to others.
Association Work
All activities within the association (e.g., course organization, facility management, accounting, etc.) are carried out on a voluntary basis.
