Located in a quiet leafy suburb of Salford in Greater Manchester is the Saraniya Dhamma Meditation Centre. It is the charitable organisation established since 1986/87 to help people who wish to learn and practise insight vipassana meditation. It was set up by Venerable Sayadaw U Panditabhivamsa of Myanmar (Panditarama Shwe-taung-gon Sasana-yeiktha) and was inaugurated on July 14, 2002.
The meditation method is Intensive Vipassana in the tradition of the Venerable Mahasi Sayadaw of Myanmar, which consists of sitting meditation and formal walking meditation throughout the day. Almost daily discussions and debate about the teachings Dhamma take place both in Burmese as well as English. Meditators observe Noble Silence and keep eight precepts.
