Dhamma Pajjota (Light, or Torch, of Dhamma) is situated near Dilsen in a rural area surrounded by forest and farmland, close to the borders of Belgium, The Netherlands, and Germany.
Old students (i.e. students who have completed at least one 10-day course with S.N. Goenka or one of his assistant teachers) from the three countries support the operation of the Centre. Courses are taught in Dutch, German, French, and English.
The 11-acre site has spacious walking areas, with many mature trees and an orchard. The 3-storey building, which used to be a family hotel, accommodates 80, mostly in double rooms with attached bathrooms. Another building, the former restaurant, has a kitchen, dining facilities, office, and accommodation for the voluntary workers.
