Calling him "the Mahāsi Sayādaw" in all the places is plain rude! Either drop the "the" or use a proper word like "Venerable"! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Deeptii (talk • contribs) 09:35, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Could someone give a short summary of the practice he taught? Maybe a summary of chapter 5 of Manual of Insight? Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 03:26, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Interesting: vipassana according to Mahasi Sayadaw is not just mindfulness of breathing; it is also morality, mindfulness of impermanence, and reflection. The mindfulness-movement left out a lot! Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 05:10, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
