Goenka   Background     <img src="http://www.dhamma.org/images/sng/sng.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   Mr. Goenka is a householder teacher of Vipassana meditation in the   tradition of the late Sayagyi U Ba Khin of Burma (Myanmar).     Although Indian by descent, Mr. Goenka was born and raised in Burma.   While living in Burma he had the good fortune to come into contact with   U Ba Khin, and to learn the technique of Vipassana from him. After   receiving training from his teacher for fourteen 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 have attracted thousands of people from   every part of society. In addition, many people from countries around   the world have come to join courses in Vipassana meditation.     Mr. Goenka has taught tens of thousands of people in more than 300   courses in India and in other countries, East and West. In 1982 he   began to appoint assistant teachers to help him to meet the growing   demand for courses. Meditation centres have been established under   his guidance in India, Canada, the United States, Australia, New   Zealand, France, the United Kingdom, Japan, Sri Lanka, Thailand,   Burma, Nepal and other countries.     The technique which S.N.Goenka teaches represents a tradition that   is traced back to the Buddha. The Buddha never taught a sectarian   religion; he taught Dhamma - the way to liberation - which is   universal. In the same tradition, Mr. Goenka's approach is totally   non-sectarian. For this reason, his teaching has a profound appeal   to people of all backgrounds, of every religion and no religion,   and from every part of the world. ____________________________________ <a href="http://www.dhamma.org/en/goenka.shtml" target="_blank">http://www.dhamma.org/en/goenka.shtml</a> </blockquote>
