The Origin & Spread Of Vipassana Glimpses of the Buddha English

Mr. S.N Goenka narrates the life and teachings of the Buddha with the help of paintings from the picture gallery from Global Vipassana Pagoda.

Sixth century B.C. was an important era in history. This was the period when a great benefactor of mankind was born and became renowned as Gotama the Buddha. The Buddha rediscovered the path of Dhamma, the law of nature (the path to liberation), leading to the eradication of universal suffering. With great compassion, he spent forty-five years of his life in teaching Dhamma, the path out of suffering. Even today this path is helping humanity, and will continue to do so provided the teachings and practice are maintained in their pristine purity.
