About The Museum
The Museum is a tribute to the profound teachings of the Buddha and the enduring legacy of our principal teacher Acharya SN Goenka. The Museum takes the visitor on the journey of Dhamma, beginning with the Buddha, to its spread across the world by Ashoka, reaching Burma where it was preserved in its purest form by a dedicated Chain of teachers and leading to its global dissemination by Acharya SN Goenka. It guides the visitor towards a deeper understanding of Vipassana meditation, through a thoughtfully curated series of exhibitions. Visitors are invited to reflect, learn, and immerse themselves in the transformative power of Vipassana—a journey from suffering to liberation.
About Vipassana
What’s Vipassana?
Vipassana is a meditation technique taught by the Buddha that trains the mind to observe the reality of one’s body and mind. This is achieved by training to observe the bodily sensations and their impermanent nature. Through this awareness, it helps release mental impurities like craving and aversion, fostering tranquility and equanimity.
