Recent Master - MAHASI SAYADAW

THE TRUE APOSTLE

Following the footsteps of the Buddha to make available to all men the Universal principles of Truth and to offer to all the knowledge of the Path, the Venerable Mahasi Sayadaw has diligently performed his noble task according to the famous exhortation of the Blessed One, which says:-

"Go ye, O Bhikkhus and wander forth, for the gain of the many, for the welfare of the many, in compassion for the world for the gain, for the welfare of gods and men. Proclaim, O Bhikkhus, the Doctrine glorious, preach ye a life of holiness, perfect and pure."

Words from the author of this website:

This is my greatest honor to present to everyone the True Apostle of the Buddha at this Age - Venerable Mahasi Sayadaw from Burma. I am delighted and gladdened in every corner of my heart when I am making this page.

It was he, who beat the drum of Deathless and woke me up among the sleepers of the world. It was he, who poured that True Eightfold Noble Path into my heart, and helped me regain my Mindfulness.

Without his guidance, I could never appreciate the true Buddha Dhamma to the extent of my realization right now.

I pay my most revered homage to the Buddha, the past Arahants, and Venerable Mahasi Sayadaw. He was a true son of the Buddha, a true disciple of the Buddha, who beat the drum of the Deathless in this world.

And those who have wisdom shall hear his words, and those who practiced the True Eightfold Noble Path diligently shall realize Nibbana here-and-now.

"While mindfulness and the mental process of noting become strong and accelerated, the meditator will feel a subtle and slight thrill with a little tremor. A depressing periodic wave of sensations with a mild touch of chill might occur in the back or hinder surface of the body, or in the pervading joy according to nature. Don't fear. It is the occurrence of a pervading joy according to nature. There may be a sudden fright or a thrilling sensation on hearing soft voices or feeble sounds. Don't get frightened. It simply indicates consciousness or awareness of the state of severity of the feeling of touch as concentration gains momentum."
