No. Vipassana is a generic name for different techniques of insight meditation, which are practiced at Tushita (among other techniques), but the term Vipassana has in recent years become synonymous with meditation centres and 10-day courses established by Mr S.N. Goenka. Although we’re very happy to recommend these courses, it is not what you’ll find at Tushita. The focus of our courses is the study of Buddhist Philosophy.

If you’re interested in studying Vipassana as taught by Goenka please visit their International site at www.dhamma.org (international). There is a Goenka Vipassana centre next door to Tushita, offering 10-day courses which start on the 1st & 15th of the month, from April to November.
