2,500-year-old history of Vipassana at new centre

The exposition, spread over an area of 20,000 square feet, uses the latest audio-visual techniques to tell the story of the Buddha, his quest for enlightenment, his rejection of ritual penances, and his realisation of Vipassana. Visitors will then be walked through the period of Emperor Ashoka a few centuries later when missionaries spread Buddha's ideas across the Old World. The exhibition ends with the story of Satya Narayan Goenka who brought the meditation technique back to India from Myanmar where it had survived even as Buddhism ebbed away in its Indian homeland.
