Dhamma Paphulla Vipassana Meditation & Research Centre

Amazing experience. Went with a completely different state of mind and returned with a sense of peace and calm. A must try for everyone at least once in a lifetime.

It is an excellent place for Vipassana meditation, is a life changing experience to stay and meditate bringing positivity.

One of the best experience of my life. One must try atleast once in a life time. True knowledge has no proce tag

No comments.
It's simply perfect.

Lalitha Shree was poor girl, who is more prone towards show of life which controls her. So ignore her comments.
Let her be Happy & blessed.

Congenial atmosphere and skilled faculty help learn and practice Vipassana* Meditation at this residential training centre.

*Vipassana as taught by Satya Narayan Goenka in the tradition of Siyagi U Ba Khin. Vipassana was first taught in thepresent cycle by Goutama the Buddha.

Plz come here to learn about pure and real dhamma. I got lot of experience. Everyone should do vipassana once in there life.

Registered for the course just out of curiosity.
Given that the entire program runs solely on donations, the place is very well maintained and the courses are structured and conducted smoothly. The code of discipline to be followed, registration process and other requirements are clearly mentioned on their website.
An ancient technique of meditation called Vipassana is taught here. It is a way of self-transformation through self-observation. The goal is to see things as they are, not as we want them to be, maintaining equanimity throughout. One can notice a significant change in thought process with every day. Words do no justice for the experience of every individual. It is a self-exploratory process.
Personally, I'm deeply moved by how simple yet effective the technique is and it has been a truly humbling experience. So grateful that I happen to come across Vipassana. May everybody seeking for some kind of self-transformation and inner-peace get to learn and experience the same:)

Well, I'm here after completing the fantastic ten-day Vipassana meditation course.

Vipassana is the most ancient Buddhist meditation practise for increasing mindfulness.

"Vipassana" means "seeing things as they truly are" in Pali, an ancient Buddhist language. "Special seeing" is the literal translation.

It entails simply observing your thoughts and emotions without judging or dwelling on them.

The Vipassana meditation course is completely free, and it is entirely supported by donations. People from other countries have arrived and are taking this course; why aren't we Indians taking advantage of it?

My experience out there: -

1) We were not allowed to use phones, talk to others, or even make eye contact for ten days. We were given pure and healthy vegetarian food, as well as fruits and Ragi malt, and we were required to meditate for approximately 12 hours per day. I can't say that taking this course has made me perfect, but I'm confident that it's the first step toward recreating myself.
2) It taught me to smile and accept everything as it is.
3) The people out there were so kind; they taught me the true meaning of peace, love, compassion, and kindness. There were many times when their generosity moved me to tears?
4) Because this centre was close to a forest, peacocks and pigeons frequently approached us. There was one peacock which stood as a reason for me to become a vegetarian.
5) Overall, I realised that I had wasted my twenty years by hating those who hate me and being angry at haters.but only after coming here did I realise the meaning of life, which is all about being kind to everyone.

True peace comes from showing kindness, love, and compassion to others.

The place is amazing. But you cannot expect this place for some fun trip or some peace. Here they teach you the Vipassana meditation and you have to do 11 hours of meditation every day waking at 4 am, so be prepared before going there that you can withstand all these. And if you can manage then you will have some amazing benefits. You will be completely a changed person when you go out of here after the course. For beginners, they have a 10-day course which you have to book in advance for 2 months before and keep confirming when they send emails. It is a free course you don't have to pay any money if you'd like to pay you can pay after the course as a donation but they won't ask you to pay. And they serve you three-time food which is very healthy and it is unlimited. In the morning they give you tiffin Idli, kichadi, and upma along with it a ragi malt and tea. In the afternoon rice, curry, chapati, sambar and a ragi ball. In the evening only snacks with ragi malt and fruit. There is no dinner here.

Every individual needs to come here and experience dhamma. ️it's the ultimate bliss one can achieve from here. May all beings be happy

Highly recommend to try this experience at least once and persist to stay the entirety of the course.

One must be here for meditation. Dhanna Paphulla is one of the main Vipassana centres in India and abroad. Here we can experience the "cheerfulness of dhamma"in this solitary land extending about 10 acres. Various meditation courses are conducted completely free of cost including food and accommodation. Meditation hall which is maintained very neatly and with sanctity can accommodate more than 100 meditators. Individual rooms, two- bed rooms and dormitory halls are sufficiently available for accommodation. Courses are conducted in English, Hindi, and Kannada languages. Meditation practices and observance of Noble Silence during the course are exemplary experiences and call back to have a ten day course again.

Namaste,

After going through the website, I realized the 10-DAY VIPASSANA MEDITATION COURSE is ABSOLUTELY FREE and that was the main motivation for me to join the course, as I did not have much money to join any other place and I was in need of some meditation technique that would help me to live a better life.

I joined the course and completed it)

I have and am benefitting from Vipassana.

Courses are run solely on a donation basis.

Courses are well organized.

By the way, donations are accepted on the 10th day of course.

After completing the course, realized why the course is free of cost.

VIPASSANA is INVALUABLE.

Would like to share the main characteristics of Vipassana that I read in an article, there are five:

First, it is universal. Any person from any country, caste, creed, color or sect can do it. There is absolutely no bar.

Second, it strikes at the root. It removes the pus from the wound. It does not simply apply a balm to the wound, giving only temporary relief. It strikes at the root and eliminates anger, passion or other defilements.

Third, it allows no place for imagination, verbalization or visualization.

Next, it is “individualistic. ” You have to walk the path yourself. There is no power broker, no intermediary, no guru or priest who will do the work for you. You have to do everything yourself. You have to tread the path yourself.

And lastly, the benefit accrues here and now.

On the last day I thanked the conducting teacher and his response was, "Thank yourself for attending the course. "

Wish you make time for yourself to attend a 10-day Vipassana meditation course.

Be Happy

The best place for best Buddha's thought Vipasana Meditation with full free of cost. Can be donate

I have already posted a review of igatpuri (dhammagiri) 2 years ago.

This center is located 3kms from blr tumkur road off makali, 5 kms from BIEC/NICE CORRIDOR.

The campus is spartan with a new pagoda coming up in the final stages.greenery everywhere and soooo many birds! During meditation, all during the day, all icould hear was chirping and music of the birds.

Mens accommodation is awesome - individual accomodation with mattress, pillow, mosquito net on a kadapa slab, ample storage area, AND an awesome attached bath with 24hrs hot water (thx summer).

It was overcast during the 3 days and yet mornings, was sweating and could feel individual steaks streaks of water racing down my back.

We are monks here, living on bhiksha per tradition and follow 'sheela'. First day was dedicated to ana pana and second exclusively to vipassana. Grear refresher course - obviously, the discourse is the cherry on the icing - it is deep and sets the learning during the day!

Definitely going back for dhamma seva and maybe, a 10 day course - if i can sustain continuous practice after this refresher.

Bhavatu sabba mangalam (May everyone be happy)

Must visit place for meditators, strongly recommend to added the 10 day Vipassana program which cannot be explained and it should be experienced

Wonderful place for Vipassana course. They are now building individual cells (Shunyagara) for meditators too

Divine place for meditation with right guidance and healthy food! Vipassana has changed my view point to life! Very greatful to S. N. Goenka

Everyone must give a try to this technique, It's life-changing!

Amazing place to go deep in meditation. Attended couple of courses (10 days and 3 days). Walking in Dhamma is everything!

Best place to find your spiritual path and inner peace. The place is maintained perfectly well by the staff and management.

It was great experience here for 2 day short course. Small center but trying to maintain all type of courses starting from 1 day to 10 days. Pagoda is still in construction and there is central hall for meditation which has capacity for around 200 students.

There is room to improve some cleanliness of the restrooms in the campus. Cleanliness of really important in such places. This may be due to shortage of workers and budget issue as this is small center.

Greenery is well maintained in the campus.
Overall it worth to attend the meditation courses in this center.

Wonderful place for meditation learning. This place offers an out of the world technique for meditation. Apart and unique from all other techniques. One should learn once in his lifetime to experience it

The front desk and front office is not so friendly in general to share appointment or booking the schedule.

Dhamma paphulla Vipassana giving very impotent service for society that's also free of cost. Everyone must attend to learn how to get peace of mind. And improve your lifestyle and thinking way. If we give they will take donation, no fees for anyone. And it's purely run by donation only.

This type of centre must increase. For wealth and happiness of society.

It's have number of center all over the world. This center located near Bangalore International exhibition and near to Himalaya drug company Nelamangala road.

Application through online only. Here they teach in English, Kannada and Hindi language.
Strict rules they follow. Mobile, paper, Tv nothing is allow for 10 days course and should maintain 100% silence.

Very beautiful and calm place to practice Vipassana meditation. Ample parking area is available. Yesterday, i been there for my daughter's one day Children's course. She is very happy with their teachings, guidance and practicing Vipassana. Great Service. Many Thanks to all the volunteers for their noble service.

Wonderful place for rejuvenating the mind. Helps one to relieve the stress experiencing in this modern complex technological era.

Provides a unique solitary experience where one should remain mute for almost 10 days without talking to anyone around and without access to phone.

Must visit for everyone

Such a wonderful meditation it is a wonder full feeling in the 5th day of meditation, everyone should participate in this, it's a wonderful feeling u will get after completion of meditation classes of 10 days course i feel so happy in my life i learn such good things like peace and joy and humble in life. Thank u guy's those who help like dhamma servers and teachers to explain our doubts.

Very nice and Calm place.they teach Vipasana technique which was thought by Gautama Buddha 2500 years ago.

Very best place and good atmosphere for Meditation. Very convenience and pleasure meditation centre.

Place is really awesome, everyone must visit the place and experience the real meditation with complete silence for 10days I just loved it.

The place, who want to understand in-depth her/him self. This technique of meditation is one of the best technique to know our self, We will experience practically each and every movement of our bady, no imagination, no assumptions nothing, everything is really what we will get to know. I strongly recommend everyone has to under go at least one 10-days course.

What to say about this holy place, which got me introduced to this technique for the first time in life, by then I lost so much in life like anger, negativity, ego, hatred etc I would be always thankful for this place and the teachers who willing come to teach course for free, well maintained place, u get single room occupancy if u r a senior student, btw the food is south India, and it's very great, the technique which is thought here is so priceless, so one must definitely take a 10 day course for sure in one's life, this is my concern for everyone, thank you.

Outside the city very far away from my place couldn't fine cab or anything bt ppl are always there to help.good solitude plc.its still under construction.i wish i could go more frequently.every sunday one day courses r going on

It's a Buddhist meditation center, maintained very neat and clean though it's an old building. Meditation course is free of cost but tough. Charity is voluntary. Food tastes good. Construction of Pagoda has started, which is adding to a bit of noise and dust pollution. Well connected by road. There is parking for car available if go by your own vehicle.

Best place to learn Vipassana meditation, a meditation technique discovered by Bhagavan Gautham Buddha.

Its really good place for meditators i have ever seen such facilities and sevices which is given free of cost. Its really worth spending time.

Calm serene atmosphere. Meditation residential course taught for 10 days continuasly. Course content and teaching excellent. No contact with outside world. Accommodation, food and also course fee absolutely free. If the participants want to donate, can do so.

I am a very old student. I have done so many courses including a 60 day course. Vipassana has changed me totally. It is so easy now to keep the balance of mind during the ups and downs of life.

Amenities are bare minimum but that's all you need.

If you decide to do a 10-day course, it could a potentially be a life-changing decision. Expect it to be difficult, but it is well worth it.

Amazing place and great atmosphere for meditation. Very calm and quite away from the city and all the noise

Only meditation centre in Bangalore. Vipassana Meditation is conducted for 11 days residential courses. Free entry for all faiths

This is a place where you learn about true nature of yourself and all others through your own experience.
Suggest you to go through the course with an open mind. What you discover will amaze you.

After 10 days course i suggested every one in my family and all known person. But finally my wife decided to go for 10 days. When she came back and shared experience about vipassana.it was same. This indicates that this method is scientific because its works same way to every human being. I recommend everyone should try once in life asap. I can says its 10 days military training for mind.

I spent here 10 days with complete silence and peace of mind. The meditation technique is purely scientific and will work for everyone. Of course very healthy food and perfect accommodation

Every human being, irrespective of caste /creed should attend the 10 day course. Your life will be transformed completely. You will experience new life after the course. Such a wonderful technique is taught without any fees and expectation. My life has been awesome after attending this course, my family, friends, employees, customers are able to find the difference in my behavior and are motivated to attend this 10 day course.

Very good teaching about reality of Mind. Recommended every individual to attend & learn the wonderful techniques. Thanks.
