Dhamma Rasmi (‘Rasmi’ means ray of light or sunshine) is in Pomona, a town located nearly 140km north of Brisbane and 30km inland from Noosa, a popular tourist destination.
Pomona sits in a network of small towns, farms and subtropical bushland that make up the Noosa hinterland.
Set on fifty acres of gently sloping land, Dhamma Rasmi is approximately one kilometre from shops and public transport and yet protected by corridors of trees and pockets of bushland. Mount Cooroora provides a striking backdrop to its extensive gardens, and the peaceful atmosphere of the centre encourages visiting native wildlife, including families of kangaroos.
The meditation hall is at the highest, and most secluded, part of the site and the land slopes downward from here towards a lily-covered dam, which welcomes students at the centre’s entrance.
Ten day courses are held in various locations the Northern Rivers area of northern NSW and the Gold Coast area of southern Queensland. More information on the worldwide movement of Vipassana Meditation can be found on the international Vipassana Meditation website. Course Finances Courses are run solely on a donation basis. There are no charges for the courses, not even to cover the cost of food and accommodation. All expenses are met by donations from those who have completed a course, experienced the benefits of Vipassana, and wish to give others the same opportunity. Neither the Teacher nor the Assistant Teachers receive remuneration; they and those who organise the courses volunteer their time.
