From Pariyatti Books
Goenka peacefully breathed his last on Sunday, September 29th at his home in Mumbai, India. He was in his 90th year.
----------
Real wisdom is recognizing and accepting that every experience is impermanent. With this insight you will not be overwhelmed by ups and downs. And when you are able to maintain an inner balance, you can choose to act in ways that will create happiness for you and for others.
Living each moment happily with an equanimous mind, you will surely progress toward the ultimate goal of liberation from all suffering.
S.N. Goenka
Atta-dīpā viharatha,
atta-saraṇā, anañña-saraṇā.
Dhamma-dīpā viharatha,
Dhamma-saraṇā, anañña-saraṇā.
Make an island of yourself,
make yourself your refuge; there is no other refuge.
Make Dhamma your island,
make Dhamma your refuge; there is no other refuge.
Mahā-Parinibbāna Sutta, Dīgha Nikāya, 16
