Mission Statement
Our mission is to teach Vipassana courses in Vipassana meditation. Vipassana, which means to see things as they really are, is one of India's most ancient techniques of meditation. Vipassana is taught as a universal remedy for universal ills--as a non-sectarian technique aimed for the total eradication of mental impurities and the resultant highest happiness of full liberation. Healing, not merely the curing of diseases, but the essential healing of human suffering, is its purpose. Vipassana is a way of self-transformation through self-observation. It focuses on the deep interconnection between mind and body, which can be experienced directly by disciplined attention to the physical sensations that form the life of the body, and that continuously interconnect and condition the life of the mind. It is this observation-based, self-exploratory journey to the common root of mind and body that dissolves mental impurity, resulting in a balanced mind full of love and compassion. The scientific laws that operate one's thoughts, feelings, judgements and sensations become clear. Through direct experience, the nature of how one grows or regresses, how one produces suffering or frees oneself from suffering is understood. Life becomes characterized by increased awareness, non-delusion, self-control and peace Southwest Vipassana association conducts 3, 10, 30, 45 days of vipassana courses with room and board atleast one per month. All the donation money is used for conducting courses and for center management purposes only
