The writings and teachings of Sayagyi U Ba Khin, the teacher of S.N. Goenka, collected together under one cover, with biographical information and a commentary by S.N. Goenka.

The story of U Ba Khin and his teaching of the Dhamma is set in context through an extensive interview with S.N. Goenka, conducted by Pierluigi Confalonieri, who also edited this tribute. It was published to commemorate the centenary of Sayagyi's birth.
