After more than 25 years of renting facilities, the Irish Vipassana Trust (IVT) has begun seeking to acquire a suitable property for permanent Vipassana Centre in Ireland. The time has come to work towards establishing a Dhamma Centre that can serve students in Ireland for generations to come.

A place where sīla can be carefully maintained, and nothing apart from samādhi and pañña are practiced, that will be of enormous benefit to the Dhamma community, and all those who come to learn Vipassana.
