In addition to his teaching work, Mr. S. N. Goenka has presented Vipassana to the general public through hundreds of public discourses around the world and throughout India. This book is taken from a series of public talks given in Hyderabad, India in 1994. Mr. Goenka explains the true meaning of the Sanskrit word "Dharma" and its universality.
دارما واژه ای سانسکریت است که در زبان پالی، دامما تلفظ می شود و معنای اصلی آن "قانون طبیعت" و با "حقیقت" است. متاسفانه امروزه در هند این کلمه معنای اصلی خود را از دست داده و به اشتباه مفهوم "فرقه" و "فرقه گرایی" یافته است. گویانکاجی با توجه به این موضوع در این کتاب توضیح می دهد که مراقبه ی ویپاسانا به انسان می آموزد تا بتواند در زندگی از "دارمای پاک" بهره مند شود و زندگی اش از صلح و تعادل و خیرخواهی برای همه موجودات لبریز گردد.
I went to a Vipassana retreat last year but haven't been meditating since then. I like the philosophy of it, and how it's areligious, and I wrote down a lot of quotes from this book. I still need to make a commitment to meditating again; it was easier with a group and a rigorous structure. But even just reading Goenka's words is helpful. I have to remember that I'm in control of how I feel, and stay calm and self-possessed.
