The Buddha as Depicted in the Tipitaka
|
|
S.N. Goenka, Principal Teacher of Vipassana meditation, faced some initial hesitation before joining his first Vipassana course due to indoctrination against the Buddha’s teachings during his childhood. After his first course in 1955, numerous misconceptions that he had about the Buddha's teaching were dispelled, and he was inspired to study the original words of the Buddha in the Pāli language.
To help others who are also interested in the original teachings of the Buddha, S.N. Goenka wrote a comprehensive introduction to the Tipitaka (the texts that contain the words of the historical Buddha in Pāli language). This information is presented in a lucid manner through quotes, inspiring passages from the Tipiṭaka, and interesting incidents from the Buddha’s life.
"The Tipitaka is like a vast, captivating garden containing beautiful flowers of different hues and fragrances. I have plucked a few flowers from that garden and have woven them into a garland. This jeweled ornament has been fashioned by culling a few priceless gems from the vast ocean of the Dhamma."
—S.N.Goenka

Apart from disseminating the words of the Buddha via printed books, ebooks and audiobooks, we dedicate ourselves to offering resources of all kinds, including Dhamma talks, podcasts, and videos. That latest category was enriched recently with the upload of three new videos. We hope these will inspire many on the path.

A professionally made film for the inspiration of old students, Messenger of Dhamma captures the atmosphere of Goenkaji's influential visit to the UK in 2000. It includes footage of a one-day course at Dhamma Dipa, meetings with European Vipassana groups, and extracts from introductory public talks.
