About us
Meditation courses at Trisikkha Insight Meditation Centers are led by a volunteer teacher, Ajarn Willie (Mr. Tawil Pudsone) who follows the teachings of vipassana teachers in Thailand. The first Trisikkha Insight Meditation Center was established in Plant City, FL. In 2013, Luang Por Pramote from Thailand presided over the opening ceremony at the Trisikkha Insight Meditation Center in Florida. Since then, there have been numerous mediation courses held at this location. The second location in Petchaburi was officially opened in 2018. It is currently undergoing major renovations to be completed in 2023.
Visitors can walk among the trees and learn about the four foundations of mindfulness, effortless awareness, insight meditation, and many other important concepts so that you will be able to answer these questions:
What are the four foundations of mindfulness?
Is it necessary to meditate everyday?
How can we embrace the so-called dark night?
Why is it important to just observe?
What happens to the mind when it is truly in the present?
Can I really make myself stay in the present?
How does mindfulness become effortless?
Who is the observer?
Due to Ajarn Willie’s personal attention, patience and compassion, thousands of serious meditation practitioners have benefited from attending these courses at both locations. These insight meditation courses are available free of charge thanks to the generosity of our supporters.
