Vipassana Meditation is an ancient technique of non religious, non sectarian, meditation, taught in the most natural and scientific form, bringing in Peace, Harmony and Equanimity among individuals, with a sense of well being and co existence for ALL living beings in this Universe.
Shri S N Goenka (Satya Narayan Goenka), has revived and restored this lost technique and has been spreading the message of PEACE all over the world for nearly 5 decades, by teaching "Vipassana" to millions of individuals.

Distinguished members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee,
We the students and practitioners of Vipassana meditation, humbly submit the nomination of our teacher Shri Satya Narayan Goenka, for the Nobel Peace Prize.
This petition is an endeavor to pay gratitude to our teacher Shri S N Goenka, for bringing, restoring and teaching the ancient technique of Vipassana Meditation for Peace, Well Being, Love and Kindness for All Universal beings.
For those who have not been able to know about this technique: Vipassana Meditation is an ancient technique of non religious, non sectarian, form of meditation, taught in the most natural and scientific way, bringing in Peace, Harmony and Equanimity among individuals, with a sense of well being and co existence for ALL living beings in this Universe.
Shri S N Goenka (Satya Narayan Goenka / http://www.dhamma.org/en/goenka.shtml), has revived and restored this lost technique and has been spreading the message of PEACE all over the world for nearly 5 decades, by teaching "Vipassana" to millions of individuals, who have benefited from it.
The donation of "Dhamma" - "Universal law", which spreads the message of Love & Kindness and Peace is the best form of philanthropy anyone can ever do. Shri S N Goenka, has relentlessly followed this mission single handedly and selflessly devoted his life and life savings for the noble cause of spreading and sharing this knowledge over the world.
By considering Shri S N Goenka for this noble service for Universal Peace, we feel it will be a great honor for the The Nobel Foundation to have his name on the list of Nobel Laureates.
May all living beings be happy.
With Metta.

Much Metta..!!
Mind precedes everything; mind matters most.
Whatever one experiences throughout life
is nothing but the product of one’s own mind.
If one speaks or acts with an impure mind,
suffering will follow one,
even as the wheel follows the hoof of the ox.Mind precedes everything; mind matters most.
Whatever one experiences throughout life
is nothing but the product of one’s own mind.
If one speaks or acts with a pure mind,
happiness follows one like an inseparable shadow.Dhammapada 1, 2

Mr. S. N. Goenka is an extraordinary man of great love and compassion who has devoted much of his life teaching Vipassana meditation and helping countless people from all over the world, from all walks of life and from diverse religious and spiritual backgrounds, to come out of suffering. His approach to the teaching is from a totally non-sectarian and scientific perspective that can be practiced by anyone, no matter what their religious or ethnic origin may be. His students experience insights, truth, love, equanimity and peace at the deepest levels of the mind and learn how to put the teaching to work in their daily lives.
Because this will make the technique to spread further so that the world will become more peaceful which is the need of the hour.
The true message is vippassana taught by SN Goenka in its pure form endlessly to n number of people with pure heart
