Dhamma Mahāvana

08/28/2026

Dhamma service is a form of donation whereby a student is given an opportunity to express their gratitude. This sense of gratitude arises when an old student recalls how they found the center facilities, the dining hall and the food service on their course: clean, functional, abundant, and welcoming. They now have an opportunity to give that same support to other students through Dhamma Service.

From September 9th to September 20th, Dhamma Mahāvana is holding a Farsi-English 10-day course. We are happy to report that the course is currently full for students. In order for any course to be able to run, Dhamma servers are essential to assist in roles like course manager in the Dhamma Hall, or working in the kitchen to prepare and serve meals, cleaning the dining halls, etc.

Currently, the course is seeking support from Men Servers as there is only 1 enrolled. If you have the volition and availability to serve this course, please submit an application online: https://www.dhamma.org/en-US/schedules/schmahavana

Men Servers are needed for the upcoming 10-day bilingual Farsi course, starting on September 9, 2026, and the 30 day-long course, starting on October 8, 2026. Course servers support those sitting the course, join the students for 3 group sittings each day, and have the opportunity to meet with the teachers.

We are looking for two or more male servers to serve at CVC during the upcoming Hindi-English 10-Day Course (August 5–16).

Dhamma service is a wonderful opportunity to support fellow students while deepening your own Vipassana practice. If you are able to serve, we would be grateful for your support.
