Course Content
The Advanced Meditators' Exposition (Apodictic Seminar) is designed to cultivate noble friendship for the purpose of freely and safely sharing our progress on the Path of Dhamma. It allows meditators to clarify doubts, find inspiration from friends, and seek ways to continue their journey on the Path.
In a small, intimate group of noble friends, participants can intensely develop their Dhamma practice on the levels of ethical training, concentration, and wisdom. During the seminar, great emphasis is placed on the technical aspects of specific meditation areas: ariya-vihára (noble abiding), dibba-vihára (heavenly abiding), and brahma-vihára (divine abiding).
You will be guided through the entire course by long-time Dhamma teachers and former Buddhist monks, Roman Hytych (Samana Hita) and Zdeněk Trávníček (Samana Atari).
Note: The course is suitable only for advanced practitioners who have already completed at least one long-term Satipatthana-vipassana or Dibba-vihara course.

As advanced meditators, you are aware that you may increase the basic fee at your discretion as a donation to the Dhammarama association to support its mission of maintaining the continuity of the Buddha’s teachings.
Dana (Donation) for the Teachers and Manager
In accordance with tradition, the passing on of the Buddha’s teachings is the teacher’s gift to the participants. The course manager also works on a voluntary basis. Neither the Dhammarama association nor any other entity pays them any salary for their work. In this context, participants will be offered the opportunity to offer a gift (Dana) to the teachers and the manager at the end of the course, according to their own discretion and means.
