Our Story
The Dhamma Centre is dedicated to sharing the authentic teachings of the Buddha. We focus on the techniques taught by the Buddha and embrace practices that compliment and support advancement in Vipassana meditation.
Our mission is to serve as a trusted community resource for Vipassana, mindfulness, and well-being. We believe that Buddhism is a way of life—a path leading to detachment from the things that cause us pain.
We are grateful for the positive reception of our work. Through the generous support of patrons and friends, we are in the process of acquiring a dedicated space within Colchester. This new meditative space will further our mission to provide a tranquil environment for the community of meditators in and around the area.
What is Vipassana?
Vipassana isn’t just something you do on a cushion; it’s a practice that permeates every aspect of life. As you develop mindfulness and insight, you’ll find that everyday experiences become richer and more meaningful. Challenges become opportunities for growth, and relationships deepen as you connect with others from a place of genuine presence.
“By their efforts the wise create their own heavens.”
— Buddha, Dhammapada 25
