About Mahasi Sayadaw
- Mahasi Sayadaw U Sobhana (Burmese: ????????????? ???????, pronounced [m?hàsì s??jàd?` ?ú ??´b?na?]; 29 July 1904 – 14 August 1982) was a Burmese Theravada Buddhist monk and meditation master who had a significant impact on the teaching of vipassana (insight) meditation in the West and throughout Asia.
- In his style of practice, derived from the so-called New Burmese Method of U Narada, the meditator lives according to Buddhist morality as a prerequisite for meditation practice.
- Meditation itself entails the practice of satipatthana, mindfulness of breathing, anchoring the attention on the sensations of the rising and falling of the abdomen during breathing, observing carefully any other sensations or thoughts.
- This is coupled to reflection on the Buddhist teachings on causality, gaining insight into anicca, dukkha, and anatta.
