Subhash Chandra has benefited so much from the Practice of Vipassana Meditation taught him by his teacher Goenka that he decided to build the Global Vipassana Pagoda as a gift to his teacher. It is also out of altruism that Mr Chandra has built the pagoda,spending a fortune on it.
Through this meditational style, meditators have managed to cultivate mindfulness and awareness. They have also found relief from stress and peace. Furthermore, the mind becomes clear and sharp. Out of altruism, Mr Chandra has built the pagoda. Nonetheless,as the Lamrim has reminded us, it is not just the one hour spent in meditation that counts, but the twenty-three hours outside of mediation that moulds the mind towards developing wisdom and concentration.
