　　**The established Vipassana centres in India and around the world where regular Vipassana courses are being organised as well as the newly-formed centres should develop so that many more people can gain benefit from them.

　　**Even though about 600 students are given admission in every course at the Vipassana International Academy at Dhamma Giri, many have to wait for months to gain admission to a course. It is becoming difficult to conduct 20, 30, and 45-day courses along with 10-day courses because of insufficiency of accommodation. Therefore, it has been decided that only 10-day courses will be held at Dhamma Giri. A new centre called Dhamma Tapovana will be established adjacent to Dhamma Giri, where not only 20, 30, and 45-day courses but 60, 75, and 90-day courses will be conducted. All meditators at the new centre will be provided with self-contained single rooms with all necessary facilities as well as solitary meditation cells to enable them to meditate for long periods without any disturbance. This centre should be developed quickly so that serious meditators can meditate intensively there and derive maximum benefit from this technique.

　　**In addition to courses in established Vipassana centres, non-centre courses are organised in many countries to enable many more people to benefit from Vipassana. Such non-centre courses should be organised at more and more places.

　　**Vipassana courses held in the prisons of India, Nepal, Taiwan, UK and the US have played an important role in the rehabilitation of the inmates of these prisons. Such prison courses should continue in these countries and should also be conducted in prisons in other countries.

　　**Extremely fruitful Vipassana courses have been conducted for the visually impaired in India and Nepal. Such courses should be organised not only in these countries but in other countries as well.

　　**Vipassana courses for leprosy patients are being conducted in India resulting in great improvement in their mental attitude. Because of Vipassana, their feelings of inferiority have been dispelled and there is contentment in their lives. This successful application of Vipassana should be continued.

　　**Many people addicted to gambling, tobacco and intoxicants have become free from such addictions because of the practice of Vipassana. In Australia and Switzerland, government-funded research work has been done and continues in the application of Vipassana in rehabilitation of drug addicts. Such beneficial research should be encouraged in other countries as well.

　　**Thousands of school children are benefiting from Anapana and college students are benefiting from Vipassana in India as well as in many other countries. Multifold progress should be made in this area so that future generations will be able to live happy and harmonious lives with mutual love, affection and goodwill.

　　**In India, particularly in Mumbai, Anapana is being successfully taught to street children. This should be encouraged elsewhere.

　　**Paṭipatti Vipassana is the practical aspect of Dhamma. The Vipassana Research Institute which was established to throw light on pariyatti, the theoretical aspect of Dhamma, has achieved remarkable success. It has produced a CD-ROM containing the original Pali Tipiṭaka along with all its commentaries, sub-commentaries, sub-sub-commentaries, and many other Pali texts. The remaining rare Pali texts wherever available should be included in this CD. The publication of these books is also progressing satisfactorily.

　　**Similarly the praiseworthy work of producing a CD containing the entire scriptural literature in Sanskrit has begun. It is necessary to complete it soon. This will help to undertake serious re…
