there's no such thing as world peace, only international peace and cooperation

Peace!!

It is too late now to try to change this world through beautifull words of truth and wisdom. The only thing those words will achieve are aplauses for the two face politics in the crowd. But there is always time for me and for each individuals change and trascendence through awareness for high consciousness.

It's funny how they want to cheer every 3 words, lol. That shows their mind is getting it but not their hearts. The people with power wont do anything after these words...

[momozalu]

He didn’t mean Buddhism is not religion. His duty is sharing what he found peace in Vipassana Meditation. Any religion believers can practice Vipassana Meditation and you do not need to convert to Buddhism. Buddha Dharma is for all and relating to every one daily life. Any way, Sayagyi Goenka family does not need money and he found peace in his heart after meditation it better than money. If you want peace in your heart and then you need find it in your mind.

[momozalu]

I have read or heard some peoples said Goenka is fraud or liar. As much as I know Sayagyi Goenka family is successful and rich industrialize family in Burma. I believe they are Hindu rather than Budhist (may be I was wrong). He met Sayagyi U Ba Khin and his illness was cured by Meditation under guidance of Sayagyi U Ba Khin. Sayagyi U Ba khin practice meditation method of Mahasi Sayadaw’s Vipassana Meditation. I think later he and his family became Buddhist after he met with U Ba Khin.

Brother of Dhamma, are you know more than this video or others but with subtitles in spanish??? Thanks for share it.

Be happy!

[goodmangillmanpharma]

goenka will be biggest lie if he says buddhism is not a religion--------he should be punished for the same statement------he has gained popularity by buddhism not by hinduism----vipassana is buddhism

[2Bonita08]

if only people listen to this man's heart~it is not about meditation but what we meditate upon~it is not about "religion" but about the freedom to meet God without religious constraint~it is not about this teaching is better than any other~but that we are all equal in wisdom when we love one another whether we be Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Athiest or Jew~when people see the purity of selfless love, the world will turn in peace~and we will see the best in all beings~and then we can see God.

[ewairr]

[stanuris]

if only the world were actually concerned with peace. humanity is only interested in ego gratification. just look at family, friends, neighbors.... anyone really. what a depressing state.

[Lierzakir]

Nice one............

[sampathe]

yes vote !

[Kyuslydian]

Vipassana rocks! or perhaps that should be vibrates. Either way it has helped me so much in so many ways in my life. I am not religious at all. All it is is a technique and when done properly it's priceless and suitable for anyone of any religion.

[kao1306]

【真正的宗教只是注意觀察頭腦的運作,那是個人直接和私密的體驗­,不是任何現存的觀念,理論,哲學,宗教,或是任何佛經,聖經,­可蘭經,咒語,公案,等等的投射和反應】

[mcapps1]

you can feel the peace and conviction in his voice. my body vibrates listening with his words.

[Cholena77x]

Metta- Thank you for posting.

Be Happy :-)

[crannage2009]

I feel like falling asleep listening to this guy..

someone who is spiritually advanced radiates life and love, even if they dont say anything this guy just radiates old age and vanity :0|

[drywood1]

just learn to observe yourself.

this what he teaches.putting himself Not in the picture.

during med.course your working on yourself en your expiriences alone.this is to find our connection to eachother from within. .

[jojojames1995]

ahh man you have to listen to his dicourses you laugh your self silly. he's pretty cool... ill vouch

[chommanee1]

I want to watch this video, but only this video has no play botton.

[rohitkumarindia]

God bless you , to post this video

LONG LIVE HINDUISM , BUDDHISM, SIKHISM, JAINISM

[Mimse79]

That's a pretty strange thing to write after such a speech as Goenka's - that's totally opposite of the peace and unity he's talking about....! Just goes to show that ears isn't enough to make a person hear.....

[felixoquebec]

there is no such thing as religion his speaking...

and religions that comes from india are no better than other

[minammam]

He is one the only one that makes sence

[piyushbalai01]

teaches true religion, teaches values which doesnt have a single dot

[shivakrishnarama]

Goenka is not a fraud, I used the technique's taught in his book and attained the result described

[onasmokebreak]

@shivakrishnarama I tool LSD for 2 years and now I'm at peace and have true happiness in my life.

[ClearOutSamskaras]

@shivakrishnarama

I hope he's on the level; what book did you use? Why is he walking out with a cane? To promote an image of being a wise, suffering yet compassionate man? "Oh dear, I'm not totally fit but making this trip to the U.N. for my love of the people is so important, blah ,blah, blah."

[IndividualityMonarch]

Religion musn't be divided nor united. Religion needs to be examined, observed and scrutinized very carefully. To see no matter what you do there will always be division in religion, antagonism. Religions seed in the individual concepts of life which contribute to our miseries and troubles and inability to discover why we live like so. Religion and government are one of humankind's very barriers to find freedom and live the right means of livelihood. Today we do not live free as we think.

[Lierzakir]

@IndividualityMonarch Long live humanity................

[kevulya]

I really enjoy each and every teachings of S.N.Goenka. It is really very practical and applicable in each and every stage of our life. Thank You very much for submitting this video. I am really happy to note that Mr.S.N Goenka has given so astonishing speech at U N Summit. Let everybody be happy and peaceful. Rest will be taken care by Universe.

[Magarmach09]

sn goenka is a complete fraud

[sidddhartha89]

in what sense brother?

[Magarmach09]

i love him i just want to see the respose of peaceful buddhist towards it

i myself had join 12 days vipasna meditation in bhod gaya

i always listen teachings of sn goenka and he is only one Logical and Philosophical teacher in the world rest of them are fraud and teaches useless things

i am a Philosophy hon 2 year student

[sidddhartha89]

good to know this !

Be happY!

Peace :)

[merylste]

@sidddhartha89  Just because you do not know of other teachers who speak the same words and live the life a a true spiritual/religious person, does not mean they do not exist. While I understand how you might feel this way, to think he is the ONLY one or that what you are practicing is the best, is the source of many troubles.

[kiwikiswahili]

May we all remain equanimous, with awareness of anicca.

I believe that what matters is the teaching. Vipassana (in the Goenka-ji tradition) has made my life muuch much better.

@Magarmach09

"he is only one Logical and Philosophical teacher in the world rest of them are fraud and teaches useless things"

you're listening to him, but you don't understand what he says...

[prasadbhadrashete]

@Magarmach09 : its good that you like this but dont use the words of hatred against others , as this is against the very teachings of Vipassana !

[oeufgwoieu]

how so?
