Desde hace ya muchos años, un grupo de personas ligados por la práctica de la meditación quisimos compartir los beneficios que obtuvimos de ella, facilitando la organización en España de Retiros de los monjes de la Forest Sangha Tradition (Tradición del bosque Tailandesa, de Ajahn Chah). El 20 de Septiembre de 2007, constituimos en Madrid la Asociación Española de Meditación Vipassana, para favorecer la difusión del Dhamma Budista y la práctica de la meditación Vipassana, según las enseñanzas de Ajahn Buddhadasa y Ajahn Chah.
