Questions & Answers

What language is used in the course?

The teaching is given through recordings of S.N. Goenka, speaking in English or Hindi, together with a translation into a local language. Tape translations exist in most of the major languages of the world.

At Dhamma Pajjota course instructions are bi-lingual in English, and alternating between Dutch, German and French.

If the teachers conducting a course do not speak the local language fluently, interpreters will be there to help.

Language is usually no barrier for someone who wants to join a course.

Questions & Answers

How much are teachers paid to conduct courses?

Teachers receive no payment, donations or other material benefit. They are required to have their own private means of support. This rule means that some of them may have less time for teaching, but it protects students from exploitation and it guards against commercialism. In this tradition, teachers give Vipassana purely as a service to others. All they get is the satisfaction of seeing people’s happiness at the end of ten days.
