Thank you Goenkaji. You were my introduction to Dhamma. I listened to you course after course and cleaned your Nikes and dusted down your bed and library at Dhamma Giri, and went to Burma with you. Thank you for all that you provided.

Also, with thanks. I've benefitted from this teacher's talks online, from the friends who practice his training method, and his donating his career in business to make skillful and guided self-study available to me for free, either on one of his campuses or online. Many thanks.

I'm thankful to Goenkaji as well. Without attending many courses at Vipassana centers in the tradition of Sayadaw U Ba Khin, I wouldn't have progressed as much. I gained lot of insight on retreats and found out that indeed there was a way out of suffering and that when one could sweep through the body in one instant and there is flow occurring, then there is no suffering.

May the centers that he helped found all around the world keep on helping people out of suffering.

Even though I never did a retreat with his network of donation only meditation centres, my first real exposure to the positive effects of meditation was via a friend who practised Goenka style Vipassana.

An example of just one of the countless indirect ripples created through his kind heartedness.

The world has lost one of its greatest dhamma champions. But the ripple effect of his life's work will no doubt improve the lives of countless others.
