About the Teacher

Medhino Bhikkhu, Ph.D., more widely known as the Venerable Vimokkha, is the abbot of Wat Pipphalivanaram, founded by the Great Master Kassapamuni in Rayong Province, Thailand. Ven. Vimokkha excels at teaching mindfulness and vipassana insight meditation with techniques blending lessons from Thailand’s great masters with his own self-discoveries. Ven. Vimokkha’s teachings are best described as accessible and pragmatic. They are aimed at an immediate direct experience of the nature of mind. His palpable power, charisma, and cheerful encouragement make him a truly unique master well-suited for these times.

Ven. Vimokkha pioneered a workplace mindfulness meditation training program used by companies and local government agencies. He travels widely to teach mindfulness meditation in accordance with the four foundations of mindfulness in Budfhist context and he has active students throughout the world, including Thailand, Malaysia, Australia, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Poland, Hungary, Ukraine, Russia, and the United States.

About the Retreat

Ven. Vimokkha will present a pragmatic approach to understanding the nature of the mind. He will first guide practitioners inward through the practices of Samatha and Vipassana, to develop clear knowing and insight into the mind’s nature. Through his simple yet effective techniques, one can cultivate this awareness not only during meditation but also in daily work and activities.

This silent residential retreat consists of walking and sitting meditation practice. There will also be daily Dhamma Talk and Q&A session. 

As we will be observing the 8-precepts, breakfast and vegetarian lunches will be provided.
