Dhamma Sobhana

Dhamma Sobhana is a Swedish organization dedicated to preserving and teaching Vipassana, an ancient Indian meditation technique rediscovered by Gotama Buddha over 2500 years ago. Founded in 1969 by Mr. S.N. Goenka after his training under Sayagyi U Ba Khin, the group offers free ten-day residential courses worldwide to promote mental clarity and compassion without commercial intent.

• History: The tradition was revitalized when Mr. Goenka began teaching in India in 1969 following fourteen years of rigorous training.
• Locations: Courses are conducted at numerous Meditation Centers across Asia, Europe, North America, Latin America, Australia, the Middle East, and Africa.
• Innovation: Special programs include courses for business executives, government officials, and inmates within prison systems globally.
• Operations: All expenses for food and accommodation during ten-day sessions are covered entirely by donations from past participants rather than fees.
