Addresses by S.N. Goenka and four others to the second "Insights From an Ancient Tradition" conference, held at the Vipassana Meditation Center (Dhamma Dhara) in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts, USA, September 3 - 4, 2000.

The conference followed a ten-day Vipassana retreat. It was designed so that participants could explore at the intellectual level what they had experienced while meditating. The four presenters at the conference are all Vipassana meditators who live engaged professional lives and who serve as assistants or teachers of Vipassana, appointed by Mr. Goenka. The revered Teacher of Vipassana, who was visiting America for the first time in nine years, had just completed his participation in the Millenium Peace Summit at the United Nations.

Vipassana Meditation as Taught by S.N. Goenka

4 CD set

By William Hart

Vipassana meditation is a simple, practical technique for achieving inner peace and leading to a happy, productive life. Without any dogma, it shows how to experience the truths of which the Buddha spoke.

S.N. Goenka is one of the foremost lay Vipassana teachers of our time. This study of his teaching was prepared under his guidance and with his approval. It was first published in book form in 1987 by Harper and Row (now HarperCollins). In this audio CD version, each chapter is read by the author, and following it is a story told by S.N. Goenka himself, taken directly from the talks he gives during a Vipassana course.

This is not a teach-yourself course for practicing Vipassana. Instead, it offers the listener a vivid picture of what it is like to practice Vipassana and what the technique can achieve. 4 CDs, comprising 5 hours.

Also available in audiotape and paperback.
