Welcome to the website of the Blue Mountains Insight Meditation Centre.

We provide facilities for the teaching and practice of satipatthana vipassana or insight meditation in the tradition of the late Venerable Mahasi Sayadaw of Burma.

The Centre seeks its inspiration in the Buddhist Theravadan tradition and aims to develop an Australian Buddhism.

Courses are taught by visiting teachers, including monks and nuns from Burma and other countries.

We are located in a tranquil setting in the small town of Medlow Bath in the Blue Mountains, two hours by train from Sydney. Please visit the following pages for more information about our teachers, courses and facilities.

About BMIMC and Insight meditation

Ven Ariya Nani has had to cancel her 2012 visit due to illness. Ven Viranani taught the Easter retreat and Patrick Kearney kindly agreed to teach nine days in April. Tara Frances (MacLachlan) will teach a weekend on September 1-2. Lesley Lebkowicz will teach a five day retreat at Tilba Tilba 19 -24 October (information here).

Thanks to Meredith, Don, James and our local group of volunteers who have been steadily working away at bushcare and gardening projects at the Centre.

The side garden has been replanted with natives and the entrance made more visible and inviting.
