Principal Teacher<\/h3>\n

Satya Narayana Goenka<\/h3>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.27.4″ text_font=”Open Sans||||||||” text_text_color=”#486066″ text_font_size=”15px” text_line_height=”1.8em” header_font=”||||||||” custom_margin=”||60px|” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Although Indian by descent, Mr. Goenka was born and raised in Myanmar (Burma). While living there, he had the good fortune to come into contact with Sayagyi U Ba Khin and to learn the technique of Vipassana from him. After receiving training from his teacher for 14 years, Mr. Goenka settled in India and began teaching Vipassana in 1969. In a country still sharply divided by differences of caste and religion, the courses offered by Mr. Goenka soon attracted thousands of people from every part of society. In addition, many people from countries around the world came to join courses in Vipassana meditation.<\/p>\n

Over a period of almost 45 years, Mr. Goenka and the teachers appointed by him taught hundreds of thousands of people in courses in India and other countries, East and West. Today, meditation centers established under his guidance are operating in Asia, Europe, the Americas, Africa and Australasia.<\/p>\n

The technique taught by S.N. Goenka goes back two and a half millennia to the Buddha. The Buddha never taught a sectarian religion; he taught Dhamma \u2013 the way to liberation \u2013 which is universal. In the same tradition, Mr. Goenka’s approach is totally non-sectarian. For this reason, his teaching has had a profound appeal to people of all backgrounds, of every religion and no religion, and from every part of the world.<\/p>\n

Mr. Goenka was the recipient of many awards and honors in his lifetime, including a prestigious Padma Awards from the President of India in 2012. This is one of the highest civilian awards given by the Indian Government.<\/p>\n

Satya Narayan Goenka breathed his last in September 2013, at the age of 89. He has left behind an imperishable legacy: the technique of Vipassana, now available more widely than ever before to people around the world.<\/p>\n

This teaching which comes from Gotama the Buddha, is taught in a non-sectarian format. The Buddha was not interested in converting people. He had found that cause of suffering lies within each of us and one needs to look inside to find its solution. This works for all regardless of their origin or traditions<\/span><\/p>\n
