From Myanmar to the World: Part 1 - Overland to India

Описание: From Myanmar to the World is a unique trilogy of films about how the ancient teaching of Vipassana meditation spread from the remote forests of Upper Myanmar to reach every corner of the world. Part I of the trilogy, Overland to India (2019), tells the story of the young Westerners who traveled to India in the 1960s and early 1970s, encountered S.N. Goenka there and learned Vipassana from him. Part II, From Caves to Pagodas (2020), chronicles the efforts of those Westerners to establish meditation facilities in their own countries. Now the final film of the trilogy is taking shape. To the Multitudes (working title) traces the life journey of S.N. Goenka, from his transformative meeting with Sayagyi U Ba Khin in the 1950s, to his 1969 departure for India for the purpose of teaching meditation, to his many travels for the purpose of bringing Vipassana to every major country of the world. The third and final film requires financial support to reach completion. If you would like support the completion of the trilogy, click here: https://vcf.dhamma.org/film-fund

More on Overland to India:
This one-hour film follows a few Westerners among the thousands, who traveled the world in the early 1970s, "looking for something." It's the story of those hippies and seekers who discovered India, S.N. Goenka and the priceless gift of Dhamma. It's also the story of a remarkable man who brought Vipassana meditation to the world. And finally, it's a heartfelt tribute to the land and people of India.
