The Vipassana Aranya project was conceived to address a need within the Vipassana community: for a place to live the meditative life for those amongst us who have ordained as monks and nuns, or for those who are on the path to do so. Goenkaji gave it the name ‘Vipassana Vihar’ in one of the many conversations held with him on the subject. We can also call it a Vipassana monastery. A need has also been felt for a place to study Pariyatti in a meditative environment, allowing for a deeper understanding of the texts.
