Geschiedenis

The center was founded in 2010 with the name Dhammadipa Vipassana Meditation Center Amsterdam. Between 1992 and 2010, the center was run by Jotika Hermsen from the Sangha Metta Foundation, and earlier still by Mettavihari.

We uphold the unity of the three jewels: Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha. The point of departure is that the practice of vipassana is an independent road which ultimately leads to the realization of enlightenment.

Dhammadipa is accessible to:

-Anyone looking for reflection, spirituality and liberation; Who wants to improve the quality of insight, as shown by the original teacher: the Buddha.
-Anyone who is looking for training of the mind and training of the heart through meditation and study of the doctrine of the Buddha: the Dhamma.
-Anyone looking for a community of practitioners who wants to walk the personal development path together with others: the Sangha.

Dhammadipa is a non-profit foundation that spreads and teaches the essence of the Buddha's teaching in the Netherlands based on donations (dana). The starting point is that you can only find your own liberation through your own commitment. Vipassana practice is the embodiment of self-commitment to achieve that liberation.
