Meditation Now: Inner Peace through Inner Wisdom
In 2002, Mr. S. N. Goenka, Principal Teacher of Vipassana meditation, was invited to participate in the Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland along with global leaders in politics, business and media. In this meeting, Mr. Goenka spoke in various sessions on the topics like 'The future of religion', 'Death: Exploring the taboo', 'Anger and how to deal with it' and 'The meaning of true happiness'.
This book chiefly contains speeches delivered by Mr. Goenka in the World Economic Forum & Millennium World Summit, United Nations, 2000, his interview with Alan Atkisson and other discourses covered in television network and newsletters.
'Meditation now' explains the need and benefit of Vipassana in the context of modern life. Discourses like ‘The meaning of happiness’, ‘Anger’, ‘The art of living’, ‘Freedom from addiction’ explain how to use Vipassana to live a peaceful life while discourses like ‘Walk the path yourself’, ‘Awaken in wisdom’, ‘Work out your own salvation’ describe various aspects of Vipassana meditation.
This book is ideal for Vipassana meditators as well as non-meditators.
