While living in Burma he had the good fortune to come into contact with Sayagyi U Ba Khin, and to learn the technique of Vipassana from him. After receiving training from his teacher for fourteen years, Mr Goenka settled in India and began teaching Vipassana in 1969. In a country still sharply divided by differences of caste and religion, the courses offered by Mr Goenka have attracted thousands of people from every part of society. In addition, many people from countries around the world have come to join courses in Vipassana meditation.<\/p><p>Mr Goenka has taught tens of thousands of people in more than 300 courses in India and in other countries, East and West. In 1982 he began to appoint assistant teachers to help him to meet the growing demand for courses. Meditation centres have been established under his guidance in India, Canada, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, France, the United Kingdom, Japan, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Burma, Nepal and other countries.<br \/>The technique taught by S N Goenka represents a tradition that is traced back to the Buddha. The Buddha never taught a sectarian religion; he taught Dhamma &#8211; the way to liberation &#8211; which is universal. In the same tradition, Mr Goenka&#8217;s approach is totally non-sectarian. For this reason, his teaching has a profound appeal to people of all backgrounds, of every religion and no religion, and from every part of the world.<\/p><p>Mr Goenka was the recipient of one of the prestigious\u00a0Padma Awards\u00a0from the President of India in 2012. This award is the highest civilian award given by the Indian Government.<\/p><p><br \/>Read more about <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dhamma.org\/en\/about\/goenka\">SN Goenka on the International Vipassana website.<\/a><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<footer class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-15a1386 elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"15a1386\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;,&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-dccb862\" data-id=\"dccb862\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-85f43e9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"85f43e9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">VIPASSANA MEDITATION SOUTH AUSTRALIA<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-535dea1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"535dea1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-sm-12 text-center\"><div class=\"footer-widget\"><address><p>Centre location: Dhamma Ujjala, Lot 52, Emu Flat Road, Clare SA 5453<br \/>+61 (08) 8312 3105 | <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"mailto:info@ujjala.dhamma.org\">info@ujjala.dhamma.org<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>|\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/ujjala.dev.webhost2.dhamma.org\/index.php\/contact\/\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Detailed contact and location information<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p><\/address><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"footer-rights\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-md-12\">\u00a0<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/footer>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cRemoving old conditionings from the mind and training the mind to be more equanimous with every experience is the first [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":181,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ujjala.dev.webhost2.dhamma.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/207"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ujjala.dev.webhost2.dhamma.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ujjala.dev.webhost2.dhamma.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ujjala.dev.webhost2.dhamma.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ujjala.dev.webhost2.dhamma.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=207"}],"version-history":[{"count":31,"href":"https:\/\/ujjala.dev.webhost2.dhamma.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/207\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":779,"href":"https:\/\/ujjala.dev.webhost2.dhamma.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/207\/revisions\/779"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ujjala.dev.webhost2.dhamma.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/181"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ujjala.dev.webhost2.dhamma.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=207"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
