Vipassana
Fellowship’s online meditation courses have been offered since 1997 and
have proven helpful to meditators in many countries around the world.
The main text is based on a tried and tested format and serves as a
practical introduction to samatha (tranquility) and vipassana (insight)
techniques from the Theravada tradition of Buddhism. Intended primarily
for beginners, the 10 week course is also suitable for experienced
meditators who wish to explore different aspects of the tradition. The
emphasis is on building a sustainable and balanced meditation practice
that is compatible with lay life. The course is led by Andrew Quernmore,
a meditation teacher for over 20 years and with a personal meditation
practice of more than 35 years. Andrew trained with teachers in Sri
Lanka and in England and has taught meditation in London colleges and at
retreats in the UK, Europe and Asia. The course is delivered wholly
online in our Course Campus.

Comments from participants
Participants in our earlier course wrote:
“What
a wonderful experience this has been. The course was so well organized,
easily accessible, affordable, systematic, and comprehensive. I will
always be grateful for this experience in my journey.” L, USA
“I found the course immensely useful, accessible and extremely thought-provoking.” - A, UK
“I
didn’t finish everything, but what I was able to experience was
profound. Thank you so much for the tremendous wealth of thinking and
peace contained within your course.” - N, USA
“I found it very
helpful and well structured. It helped me establish a daily practice
throughout the duration and to learn a lot” - I, Argentina
“When I
applied to join the course, I was struggling in my practice and had
lost heart. I can’t sufficiently express my appreciation and gratitude
for the wonderful resource you offer. The content was immediately
engaging, and was throughout delivered with clarity and thoughtful care.
Perhaps I can best express feedback in terms of how differently things
feel having completed the course. The words that pop up are refreshment,
reinvigorated, revival; joyful reconnection and commitment. Thank you.”
- E, UK
“Before joining this course I was doing meditation but
not with such discipline and without any structure. This course showed
me many beautiful aspects of meditation which I have read before but not
experienced. My sincere thanks to you and all people working for this
online course. This is great help to people who cannot go physically to
Ashrams to attend and practice.” S, India
“I greatly enjoyed it! And found it to be a great introduction to various meditation techniques.” - M, Hong Kong
“I
very much appreciated the structure of the course and the exercises,
which made it easy to integrate them into normal everyday life. Not
being in a retreat but living in normal circumstances while practicing
the exercises has enabled me to more and more notice phenomena arising
in particular situations and I indeed started to learn and observe how
suffering is created in everyday life situations and what suffering
feels like. (A bit like ‘training on the job.’) Also I noticed insights
arising, literally out of nowhere.” - A, Germany
“am very happy
with the offered course, and Andrew’s use of personal perspective really
helped me understand things better. Although I’ve previously used
Vipassana meditation, this course really brought it together for me.” J,
USA
“Meditations of Loving-Kindness, Compassion, Appreciative
Joy, Equanimity etc. will no doubt help to maintain an emotional balance
in the midst of discouraging vicissitudes of life. All in all the
package was complete, precise and well crafted for the development of
mind. Thank you, with your help I began the journey. And hope, will
continue till the end.” J, India
“Truly memorable experience. Am
determined more than ever to continue my practice and perpetual
exploration. Thanks for taking us through this journey.” G, India
“I
enjoyed very much the January meditation course. Although I’ve done a
few of those 10 day courses, this online course taught me new techniques
that I find helpful. I also enjoyed the readings and found Andrew’s
style of writing to be very pleasing to read. He doesn’t shove the text
down one’s throat. Instead, he imparts the information in a way which is
easy to read and leaves the reader feeling at ease - as though this is
really doable if only one approaches it with a relaxed and calm
attitude. Thanks Andrew! I hope we meet someday!” - A, USA
Recent comments:
“This course has been very helpful to me in establishing a daily practice.” - D, USA
“I have learned much and my meditation practice has benefitted greatly…” - C, Australia
“I
would like to thank you for your well structured, informative and
personal course, it helped me for 3 months in a great way and left me
determine to continue meditation practice…” - T, Qatar
“Wonderful
course. Like a guided stroll through a wondrous rainforest. Rough
terrain and stormy weather were dealt with gently but profoundly. Beauty
was to be rejoiced in. Student discussion was fun and educative. Both
my meditation practise and my Buddhism grew exponentially. Thank you
Andrew and all participants.” -S, Australia
“I enjoyed your course. I meditate each morning…” - A, USA
“Thank you very much for the Vipassana course! … I kept up, learned, and benefitted in what feels like a major way.” - M, USA
“Impermanence!
I do not like endings. Thank you so much for offering this meditation
course to the world. I was so happy to find it.” - S, Canada
“Hi,
I have just completed the course. It was fantastic, life altering. Feel
very sad that it is finished. I have now established a daily meditation
practice and will try to find a group in Sydney to further my dhamma
practice. Thank you, it really has been a remarkable experience. I will
join the Parisa and stay in touch with this organization. I have NO
complaints only gratitude. Thank you.” - K, Australia
“As we near
the end of the course I just want to say ‘thank you’ for your work on
it and share some of my thinking and experience at thsi point. Ive found
the different aproaches to meditation interesting and useful and have
appreciated your focus on practicalities. The frequently asked questions
have helped to avoid my inundating you with questions, as many people
have clearly walked the path before asking them! … I am happy that it
is a practical philosophy for living an ethical life, I like the
emphasis on acting skillfully, feel that individual responsibility for
ones actions (rather than relying on redemption) makes sense … Thank
you for a very accessible path! - J, UK

Dear Jagatheesan
Welcome to the September 2018 session of our 10 week meditation course.
The course takes place in our online Course Campus and you can
access our site from Saturday 29th September at the following location:
https://course.org/campus
You have been pre-registered as a participant in the September course.
To log-in, click on the ‘September 2018 Meditation Course’ link or the site

Please note that these are case-sensitive and must be
entered exactly as given here. (If you wish, you can change
your password by editing your profile once you are logged-in.)
New material appears on the course site every day during our
10 week course. There is usually a longer reading when a new
meditation technique is introduced and shorter pieces on other
days to help place the practices in context. There is also a
contemplative piece drawn from the Dhammapada each day.
Our main concern is that you are able to devote most of your time
to actually practising meditation. We hope that by the end of the
course you will have the tools that are necessary to build a
sustainable practice and be aware of the plentiful riches of this
living tradition.
The course audio material is incorporated into the readings as we work
through the sessions. Streaming audio files are available for most new
techniques as they are introduced and can be downloaded for personal
use on your computer, tablet or mp3 player. The audio material should
be used in conjunction with the daily texts - and please be sure to read
the instruction texts first. Guided meditations are intended only for use
in the first few sittings of a new practice and should not be relied upon in
the long-term. As soon as you feel familiar with a technique’s basic
structure try to work without the audio guide.
We hope you enjoy the course and find it productive. If you have any
meditation questions or technical queries please send them only to:
csupport@vipassana.com
This is a priority e-mail address for the course that ensures your message
will be seen in a timely way. You may find it helpful to check the “In
Practice…” database of previously asked questions first.
We will try to respond to queries as quickly as possible.
Please note that we are based in the UK and any references
to times and dates refer to Greenwich Mean Time/Universal Time.
This is exactly at the half-way point in the range of World
time zones. The course can be accessed at times to suit your
location; there is never a need to be online at a specific time.
If you change your e-mail address during the course, please update
your profile on the course website and let us know separately by
e-mail. This will ensure that we can contact you with any important
notices as the course progresses.
Remember: You will get most from the course if you visit the site
each day. There is new material displayed for each of the 70 days.
The daily material remains available to you throughout the course
and for one month after this session’s scheduled ending. You can
print or save any of the daily material for your personal use.
Enjoy the course!

There’s also a searchable database called “In Practice” that
has questions and replies from some earlier courses. The most frequent basic
questions are probably already featured there.
My advice for the course is to work steadily but gently. Don’t feel that everything
has to be mastered immediately; much of this is the foundation for a lifetime of
developing practice rather than a quick fix. It is hoped that the course will stretch
everyone a little whether you are new to meditation or a seasoned veteran. We
work in different ways, over the weeks, and some methods will come easier to
some people than others. You may well be surprised by the approaches that suit
you best. Try to work in an open-minded and inquisitive way - and just see what
happens. This is a process of exploration rather than a submission to particular
dogmas. We do provide enough of the doctrinal context to help you begin to see
how the various elements form part of a consistent path but there is certainly no
need to swap one cherished belief for another. Gentle but regular engagement
with your meditation practice will produce positive results and useful challenges,
over time. It is the practice that matters.
We sent the access details for the course by e-mail, earlier, and I hope they
arrived. If you don’t seem to have received them please check your spam folder
(particularly if you use one of the web mail services) and contact us if you need it
to be re-sent. We can send it to an alternative address if you prefer.
I hope the course will be of great benefit to you. I look forward to getting to know
you in the coming weeks.

‘Many college students are getting experience before they graduate
by participating in internships, cooperative education, fellowships, and
summer work.’
‘Cranmer was given a fellowship at Jesus College, Cambridge in 1510,
which he lost when he married the daughter of a local tavern-keeper.’
‘Over the next 17 years he honed his general surgery skills,
obtained fellowships of the royal colleges, and became surgeon-in-charge
at Kowloon Hospital from 1957 to 1963.’
‘Magdalen may well have far more tutors than most other colleges,
but far more of these are University fellowships and non-teaching
positions.’

university confirmed, and has been appointed a Visiting Professorship at
a very prestigious Writing School in the USA.’
‘Last year Georgina also won a fellowship to Columbia School of

meditation from the Theravada tradition for the spiritual development
of people of all faiths & none. Online courses & support since
1997
Fellowship’s online meditation courses have been offered since 1997 and
have proven helpful to meditators in many countries around the world.
The main text is based on a tried and tested format and serves as a
practical introduction to samatha (tranquility) and vipassana (insight)
techniques from the Theravada tradition of Buddhism. Intended primarily
for beginners, the 10 week course is also suitable for experienced
meditators who wish to explore different aspects of the tradition. The
emphasis is on building a sustainable and balanced meditation practice
that is compatible with lay life. The course is led by Andrew Quernmore,
a meditation teacher for over 20 years and with a personal meditation
practice of more than 35 years. Andrew trained with teachers in Sri
Lanka and in England and has taught meditation in London colleges and at
retreats in the UK, Europe and Asia. The course is delivered wholly
online in our Course Campus.

easily accessible, affordable, systematic, and comprehensive. I will

Argentina
I applied to join the course, I was struggling in my practice and had
lost heart. I can’t sufficiently express my appreciation and gratitude
for the wonderful resource you offer. The content was immediately
engaging, and was throughout delivered with clarity and thoughtful care.
Perhaps I can best express feedback in terms of how differently things
feel having completed the course. The words that pop up are refreshment,
reinvigorated, revival; joyful reconnection and commitment. Thank you.”
- E, UK
joining this course I was doing meditation but not with such discipline
and without any structure. This course showed me many beautiful aspects
of meditation which I have read before but not experienced. My sincere
thanks to you and all people working for this online course. This is
great help to people who cannot go physically to Ashrams to attend and
practice.” S, India
very much appreciated the structure of the course and the exercises,
which made it easy to integrate them into normal everyday life. Not
being in a retreat but living in normal circumstances while practicing
the exercises has enabled me to more and more notice phenomena arising
in particular situations and I indeed started to learn and observe how
suffering is created in everyday life situations and what suffering
feels like. (A bit like ‘training on the job.’) Also I noticed insights
arising, literally out of nowhere.” - A, Germany
very happy with the offered course, and Andrew’s use of personal
perspective really helped me understand things better. Although I’ve
previously used Vipassana meditation, this course really brought it
together for me.” J, USA

memorable experience. Am determined more than ever to continue my
practice and perpetual exploration. Thanks for taking us through this
journey.” G, India
enjoyed very much the January meditation course. Although I’ve done a
few of those 10 day courses, this online course taught me new techniques
that I find helpful. I also enjoyed the readings and found Andrew’s
style of writing to be very pleasing to read. He doesn’t shove the text
down one’s throat. Instead, he imparts the information in a way which is
easy to read and leaves the reader feeling at ease - as though this is
really doable if only one approaches it with a relaxed and calm
attitude. Thanks Andrew! I hope we meet someday!” - A, USA
would like to thank you for your well structured, informative and
personal course, it helped me for 3 months in a great way and left me

course. Like a guided stroll through a wondrous rainforest. Rough
terrain and stormy weather were dealt with gently but profoundly. Beauty
was to be rejoiced in. Student discussion was fun and educative. Both
my meditation practise and my Buddhism grew exponentially. Thank you
Andrew and all participants.” -S, Australia
I do not like endings. Thank you so much for offering this meditation
course to the world. I was so happy to find it.” - S, Canada
I have just completed the course. It was fantastic, life altering. Feel
very sad that it is finished. I have now established a daily meditation
practice and will try to find a group in Sydney to further my dhamma
practice. Thank you, it really has been a remarkable experience. I will
join the Parisa and stay in touch with this organization. I have NO
complaints only gratitude. Thank you.” - K, Australia
we near the end of the course I just want to say ‘thank you’ for your
work on it and share some of my thinking and experience at thsi point.
Ive found the different aproaches to meditation interesting and useful
and have appreciated your focus on practicalities. The frequently asked
questions have helped to avoid my inundating you with questions, as many
people have clearly walked the path before asking them! … I am happy
that it is a practical philosophy for living an ethical life, I like the
emphasis on acting skillfully, feel that individual responsibility for
ones actions (rather than relying on redemption) makes sense … Thank
you for a very accessible path! - J, UK
