The Art of Living: Vipassana Meditation: As Taught by S. N. Goenka Details
The Ancient Meditation Technique that Brings Real Peace of MindVipassand-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.

Reviews
J'ai assist deux fois une retraite de 10 jours de mditation Vipassana.Seulement, aprs quelques mois, quelques annes, on tend oublier les principes appris et on reprend le cours de notre vie frntique.Je cherchais un livre qui puisse fonctionner comme une piqre de rappel et puisse me remettre en mmoire les principes philosophiques de cette mthode de mditation. C'est exactement ce que ce livre offre.On retrouve des extraits du discours de S. N. Goenka, et aussi des parties questions/rponses qui sont trs intressantes (car on retrouve beaucoup de questions que l'on se pose soit mme). Je conseil ce livre pour les personnes intresses par la philosophie du Dharma, la mditation et le dveloppement personnel.Ce livre n'a pas pour vocation d'enseigner la pratique de Vipassana. Pour cela, rien ne vaut l'exprience dans un centre agr, car il est rare que l'on puisse tre motiv de soit mme pour mditer 10 heures par jour. Sur dhamma.org, on peut trouver les centres qui offre des retraites.Bonne lecture !
