Dhamma Anuradha
Kalattewa, Anuradhapura, North Central Province, Sri Lanka · Also called Dhamma Anurādha
Dhamma Anurādha (dhamma.org gives the meaning 'Dhamma in Anuradhapura') is a Goenka-tradition Vipassana centre at Kalattewa, near Anuradhapura in Sri Lanka's North Central Province, on Ichchankulama Wewa Road, Kurundankulama. Its schedule includes 10-day courses, open to new students, and courses for old students (those who have completed a 10-day course): special 10-day, Satipatthana Sutta, 3-day and 1-day courses. Instructions are given in Sinhala and English. As at other centres in this tradition, there is no charge for the course, food or accommodation: courses run solely on donations from people who have completed a course and wish others to have the same opportunity. Applications are made through the centre's schedule on dhamma.org, and the centre lists a telephone and a WhatsApp number for enquiries.
How to apply
