INSIGHT
MEDITATION
In seeing -
What utter joy!
The small mind becomes
transparent, empty,
without foundation.

WHERE TO GO IN THE DHARMA WORLD?

PLACES FOR PRACTICE: Links, Publications and Teachers  - East and West
The following is a selected list of  monasteries, centres and other resources for Dharma practice, rural and city based.
The list includes  teachers, organisations and publications devoted to the Dharma.
Below are also the two major websites listing teachers offering Satsang in India and the West.
The list includes centres and monasteries where Christopher Titmuss teaches in Australia, European Union, India, Israel and United States.
There is an umbilical chord between East and West as the Dharma in various forms takes root in the West. Dedicated practitioners are strongly encouraged to make at least one trip in their lifetime to the East to explore their practice.
For a more comprehensive list of Buddhist centres and monasteries around the world visit www.buddhanet.net. This website contains details of numerous monasteries and centres worldwide. A very useful resource.
