Archive of the Golden Nuggets

Golden Nuggets are pieces of history of Vipassana meditation as taught by S.N. Goenka in the tradition of Sayagyi U Ba Khin. They are the memories of the early meditation courses conducted, development of the meditation centers, other evolution that led to this tradition becoming what it is today.

Written by the participants of those events it helps those of us who perhaps never met Goenkaji in person get a glimpse into how it all started.

Here are the issues written so far:

  1. Goenkaji’s First Course in India
  2. Goenkaji’s first course in English for Western students
  3. Passing away of Sayagyi U Ba Khin
  4. Early courses in Bodhgaya
  5. Early self courses

We will be adding Golden Nuggets here are they are being written. Feel free to send any feedback to [email protected].
