Dhamma Parāga

Dhamma Parāga ('Pollen of Dhamma' in Pali) is the Dang Vipassana Center, in ward 13 of Ghorahi Sub-Metropolitan City in Dang district. It was set up with basic facilities: a small Dhamma hall for about 40 students, dormitories for men and women, and toilets and bathrooms, in a compound of about 4 acres. The centre's own site says its first course was held in September 2021; the dhamma.org listing says the first course would be held in October 2021. Its schedule lists 10-day courses and short one- and three-day courses for old students. Instructions are given in Hindi, English and Nepali, and the dhamma.org listing says applicants need a good understanding of one of these languages. As at all centres in S. N. Goenka's tradition, courses are free, including food and accommodation, and are funded by donations from people who have completed a course. As of October 2026 the centre's directions page is marked 'under construction' and its contact page gives the address only as Dang, Ghorahi, so ask the centre for directions when you apply.

How to apply

Apply online through the centre's page on dhamma.org (in Nepal, start from np.dhamma.org). New students must first complete a 10-day course, and there is no charge.
