This two-hour film covers a vast swath of history, from the distant past to the moment in 1969, when Goenkaji set forth from Myanmar, and onward from then to the present day. The Rise of Dhamma presents the extraordinary journey of Vipassana, its spread in society and the impact it has had. Weaving together the voices of Goenkaji, his family and meditators from around the world, the film reveals the many facets of this journey in all its diversity and power.
