Vipassana meditation is now available to all with no barriers of race, creed, gender or belief. Dhamma Kuta has now developed and is spreading the Dhamma. One or two courses are held every month. These courses are of a duration of three or ten days. Courses which go in-depth, linking the technique to the Satipatthana Sutta and special courses varying in duration from ten to twenty days, which involve more serious and solitary practice are conducted.
All courses are residential for the entire period and free of charge.
In Sri Lanka school children who are Buddhists, learn the Dhamma in school and in Dhamma schools in temples. Buddhism has been introduced into the school curriculum, and it is a subject for the basic qualifying General Certificate of Education, ordinary level examination. At University level there are degree courses in Pali, Sanskrit and Buddhist philosophy. As a corollary to this understanding of the theoretical aspects of the Dhamma, recently there has been a growing interest in the practice of meditation and its teaching. Today we find a large number of meditation centres in this country.
