Die Vipassana Gruppe Oldenburg gibt es seit Juni 2000. Die Gründung unseres Meditationskreises kam spontan nach einem Meditationswochenende zustande. Seitdem treffen wir uns wöchentlich immer Freitags um gemeinsam zu meditieren und uns über unsere spirituelle Praxis im alltäglichen Leben auszutauschen. Wir verstehen uns als lose Gruppe ohne Vereinsstrukturen und Mitgliederbeiträge.

Vipassana is een vorm van meditatie die ook wel inzichtmeditatie wordt genoemd. De vipassana-meditatie is ontwikkeld door de Boeddha; een lichte variant hiervan wordt gebruikt bij mindfulness-trainingen. Vipassana Haarlem organiseert een of twee keer per jaar een introductiecursus, naast andere activiteiten zoals een doorlopende groep, Insight Dialogue en themadagen.

De stichting stelt zich ten doel:

  • de beoefening van vipassana-meditatie, ook wel inzichtmeditatie genoemd, te bevorderen;
  • het stimuleren van de studie naar en het in praktijk brengen van de leer van de Boeddha;
  • het verrichten van alle verdere handelingen, die met het vorenstaande in de ruimste zin verband houden of daartoe bevorderlijk kunnen zijn.
