Vipassana Hawai'i was established in Honolulu in 1984 to support the teachings of classical Buddhism and to make them relevant to the issues of our day. Our teachers currently offer weekly guided sittings, classes for old and new students, individual meditation instruction, and weekend, ten-day and three-week retreats. These are held at a local Buddhist center and at other rental facilities, and attendees come from Europe, Asia and Australia as well as from many parts of the United States. Vipassana Hawai'i-sponsored retreats also offer an extremely rare opportunity for students to learn from visiting Asian masters who prefer Hawai'i because of its familiar climate and nearby location.

Sayadaw U Lakkhana Needs Our support!Dear Friends, Students, and Supporters of Sayadaw U Lakkhana, As some of you may remember, Sayadaw has ongoing health issues relating to a chronic heart condition. Several years ago Sayadaw had heart surgery in Singapore. The procedure was called angioplasty with stent placement. This kind of surgery involves opening up a blocked cardiac blood vessel and then placing a tube within the vessel to keep it open. The surgery was successful, and Sayadaw has been doing fairly well since that time. |
Registration is now open for annual Spring retreat in Honolulu!We are taking registrations for the Spring retreat in Honolulu led by Grahame White. |

Sunday Afternoon Meditations Under The Big-Top On The HIMC site.
Dear residents and visitors to North Kohala,
In preparation for longer retreats and to deepen our connection to the land, we have begun holding a one-hour sit under a tent @ 4:00 p.m. every Sunday on the site of the Hawaii Insight Meditation Center. We may or may not have a teacher/leader depending on the week, and we typically meditate only for an hour. It is a beautiful outdoor place to sit where the wind and birdsong are certain to accompany you in mindfulness.
If you are unfamiliar with location please call 808-889-0567 for directions.
