Featured in Relax TV

Relax TV recently broadcasted a story on our meditation center. You can watch it at https://youtu.be/7OGyrWLP6y8 (Czech only).

Name of meditation center

In January, Achan Tong gave the meditation center an official Pali name: Tīsaranā Vipassanānuso. The name means “dedicated to Vipassanā through the three refuges (Buddha, Dhamma, Sangha)”. Our website was moved to tisarana.cz.

Legal form

The center now has a proper non-profit form, and we have a new bank account for sending donations (CZK or €). Details are under “contact” on the website.

Visit to Thailand

We are planning a trip to visit the main temple, Wat Chom Tong, in Thailand from about 18 September to 02 October. This is a wonderful opportunity for all meditators to see Thailand and the temple and celebrate the birthday´s of Achan Tong on 21 September and Thanat Chindapo on 01 October and maybe do a short meditation retreat.Please forward this e-mail to anyone who might be interested.Yours truly,organizers & teachers.
