Publisher Description

This is the classic introduction to Vipassana meditation: a full-length study of the teaching of S. N. Goenka, prepared under his guidance and with his approval. Useful for meditators and non-meditators alike. This was the first book to appear in English that accurately describes the practice of Vipassana at length for the general reader. It includes stories by Goenkaji as well as answers to students' questions that convey a vivid sense of his teaching.

"Basically a polished edition of Goenka's Dhamma talks at his 10 day vipasssana courses describing the heart of yoga practice, absorption to one's own being and thus deepening one's understanding of reality, ultimately liberating oneself from the prison of one's own behavior patterns."

    " I just finished a 10 day silent retreat with S.N.Goenka. It was absolutely amazing and I learned so much. This book is essentially that training. Don't know how much a person could get just by reading it. Afterwards, though, it is a great resource. "

    " It comes closest to the best book that I have read till date on meditation and what it can do for you. I understand that perhaps one cannot get the technique right till one goes for the 10 day conclave but at least one knows the reasoning behind it and what it can lead to. "

    " As a "new" Vipassana meditator I find myself wanting to know more about the technique. William Hart with S. N. Goenka have put together an accessable account of what it is all about. "
