"The Satipanya Buddhist Trust is grounded in the Buddhist Tradition of Theravada as practised in South-East Asia. Satipanya is located in Powys, Wales, in UK, south of Shrewsbury and near the Shropshire border. We run retreats devoted to contemplative living and vipassana insight meditation in the tradition of the Mahasi Sayadaw of Burma... Satipanya wishes to cultivate a meditative and contemplative atmosphere devoted to the two duties the Buddha would have his disciples fulfil: To practise Vipassana and to study the Dhamma. Vipassana, Insight Meditation, is the core practice taught by the Buddha. It is a method of self-investigation to see how we create our own mental distress and how we can put an end to it. The Mahasi Sayadaw of Burma taught a skilful method of vipassana that ultimately leads to this end of contentment and happiness, Nibbana. Rare it is to find the place and the time where we can stop and contemplate our lives, to spend time reflecting on the Buddha?s teachings and explore what to do when there is nothing to achieve? "...The site has essays and audio files by the Trust's spiritual director, Bhante Bodhidhamma.
