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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on the lectures and writings of S. N. Goenka--and prepared under his direct guidance--\u003cem\u003eThe Art of Living\u003c\/em\u003e shows how this technique can be used to solve problems, develop unused potential, and lead a peaceful, productive life.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Hart\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0060637242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780060637248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e HarperOne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/04\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.30w x 0.60d","brand":"William Hart","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44055545905407,"sku":"9780060637248","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a8020804-8599-4a45-8c32-d81d23392552.jpg?v=1685036405","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-art-of-living-william-hart-9780060637248","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
