According to the pure tradition of Vipassana, Vipassana courses are open to one and all without any restrictions of caste, creed, religion, nationality or gender. The courses are run solely on the basis of freely offered donations from students who have completed at least one ten-day Vipassana course with Shri S.N. Goenka or one of his assisting teachers.
These old students, with a volition to share the benefits they have received & to strengthen their parami of generosity, offer donations for future courses. There is no wealthy foundation or individual sponsoring Vipassana centers, its activities or courses and there is no government funding.
All activities for the spread of Vipassana teaching are carried out with purity of purpose, free from any commercialism or financial benefits to any individual. No fee is charged for the courses. The courses & center activities are financed totally from the donations received from the old students. Neither the Teacher nor the Assistant Teachers receive any remuneration. The teachers and those who serve the courses as Dhamma Servers, volunteer their time & selfless service with gratitude, solely motivated by the benefits they have got from vipassana meditation.
