“May all suffering people of the world understand what is Dhamma, may they practice Dhamma, may they apply Dhamma in their day-to-day life and come out of all the agonies of a defiled mind full of negativities. May all enjoy the peace and harmony of a pure mind, a mind full of compassionate love and goodwill towards other beings.” - S.N. Goenka

Value of Dhamma Service

The giving of Dhamma Service, whether in a course or in some other way to help in the spread of Dhamma, is one of the most valuable experiences a student of Vipassana can have. Not only it is rewarding to know that you have helped others to taste the Nectar of Dhamma, but it also is a wonderful source of growth and strength in one's own development in meditation practice. In daily life, there are many ups and downs. To maintain equanimity and to generate love & compassion despite these vicissitudes is the training of Vipassana. When Vipassana meditators give Dhamma service, they learn in a healthy atmosphere how to apply Dhamma in life. This is a training ground for each server to learn how to live a good life.

Who can serve?

Any student who has successfully completed a 10-day Vipassana Meditation course with Mr. S. N. Goenka or one of his assistant teachers, and has not practiced any other meditation techniques since their last course.
