Vipassana Meditation: As Taught by S. N. Goenka

THE ANCIENT MEDITATION TECHNIQUE THAT BRINGS REAL PEACE OF MIND

Vipassand-bhavand, "the development of insight," embodies the essence of the teaching of the Buddha. As taught by S. N. Goenka, this path to self-awareness is extraordinary in its simplicity, its lack of dogma and, above all, its results. The Vipassana technique can be successfully applied by anyone.

Based on the lectures and writings of S. N. Goenka--and prepared under his direct guidance--The Art of Living shows how this technique can be used to solve problems, develop unused potential, and lead a peaceful, productive life. It includes stories by S. N. Goenka, as well as answers to students' questions, that convey a vivid sense of his teaching.

S. N. Goenka's Vipassana courses have attracted thousands of people of every background. Unique among teachers of meditation, Goenka is a retired industrialist and former leader of the Indian Community in Burma. Although a layman, his teaching has won the approval of senior Buddhist monks in Burma, India, and Sri Lanka, a number of whom have taken courses under his guidance. Despite his magnetism, he has no wish to be a "guru" --instead he teaches self-responsibility. This is the first systematic study of his teachings to appear in English.

Prana, the vital #energy present in the air that we breathe, links our inner and outer environments and connects us with all beings and all nature. The volume and quality of prana that circulates within our bodies determines# the level of our vitality, and this internal reserve of energy can be increased and purified by #pranayama, or conscious breathing. On Pranayama, Nubia Teixeira will guide you through a restorative practice interweaving these breathing techniques with open-hearted-meditation, visualization, and singing. Nubia is joined by celebrated world music artist Jai Uttal and his longtime collaborator Ben Leinbach, who provide a vibrant new #soundscape of progressive world music to enhance your pranayama practice.
