The 10 day course 'flat' means a start on „day Zero” with on site registration, orientation talk and a light dinner. After taking their places in the meditation hall and some formalities students receive first meditation instructions the help of which they start working the next morning on Day 1. The course will be conducted by duly assigned Teacher(s). Meditation instructions will be heard in English by S. N. Goenka followed by the Hungarian version. New students not having English as mother tongue are requested to make sure they will understand the instructions in English as well as they will be able to consult the Teacher in English regarding the technique. Further they may need to have the positive answer from us on the availability of the evening discourses of Goenkaji in their native language. The course will be completed around 6:30 am on „Day 11”.

The technique of Vipassana Meditation is taught at ten-day residential courses during which participants learn the basics of the method, and practise sufficiently to experience its beneficial results. No previous experience of meditation is required. After reviewing the Code of Discipline for Vipassana you may apply via the on-line registration form.

Application period: with all courses opening approximately 3 months in advance.

Application process:

On this page, click on the word "Apply" next to the date you find suitable. You will then be asked to complete the application form in full, after a descriptive section which must be carefully studied.

Acceptance - of which you will be notified within two weeks - will in principle be in the order in which you applied, even if some candidates may be asked to complete their application. If you do not receive a reply within two weeks, you must notify us.

We can accommodate approximately 45 female and 45 male students. In view of the great interest, we feel obliged to make the most of our possibilities by filling the full number of participants. Our experience has shown that this can be achieved by using the following system. Once the course capacity is reached, we maintain a waiting list of 30-30. When this is also full we close the application. As warned in the confirmation of participation, all accepted course applicants will be asked to confirm their participation again within 7 days, approximately 3 weeks before the start of the course. If we do not receive a reply - and this will of course be stated in the letter - we will not expect your participation and will inactivate your application. Cancellations will be received in the middle of the process and there may be cases where you do not confirm your participation. But even those on the waiting list may not be able or willing to come. That is why we ask all those on the waiting list if they can come. The places that become available will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis by the applicants who respond to this letter.

Attention! Only applications with all questions answered will be accepted. Where you tick 'yes' and the question states 'Please provide details', please provide details. If you are unsure about anything or have any questions, please ask - email or call!

For any questions, please call +36 20 235 2742
