Dhamma is slowly but surely spreading in the Coastal belt of Western India. As such, we are happy to announce that in January 2018, Udupi (Karnataka) Vipassana Trust has purchased about 5.75 acres of land, in Shivpura near Hebri, Udupi.
It is surrounded on two sides by reserved forest and has a very peaceful atmosphere ideal for development into a Vipassana meditation centre which will accommodate 80 to 100 students. A small dhamma hall and a room with accommodation for two persons has been constructed, where regular one-day courses have been started on the second Sunday of every month. All old students are cordially invited to participate in one-day and group sittings. Sadhaks can avail of this opportunity to earn merits.
You can also give tapodana (donation of meditation) by coming to meditate at the site.
