Dhamma Latthi

Dhamma Latthi ('sapling of Dhamma') is the Goenka-tradition Vipassana centre in Sigulda Municipality and, as of 2026, the only centre dhamma.org lists for Latvia. It is run by the foundation Latvijas Vipassanas Meditācijas Fonds (Latvian Vipassana Meditation Fund). dhamma.org gives 2010 as the year of its first course. The schedule lists 10-day courses for new and old students, and one-day and two-day courses and work periods for old students. dhamma.org gives English and Russian as the usual languages of instruction, and the schedule is published in Latvian, Russian and English. The centre's site says courses are run solely on donations, with no charge even for food and accommodation, and that the teachers and organisers are unpaid volunteers. The foundation's contact address on the centre's website is in Sigulda parish, while the dhamma.org listing gives an address for it in Riga.
