NEW BOOK

This is one of several talks given by Sayadaw U Jotika in the Mangala Vihara Buddhist Society in Singapore in 2003.

In this talk, Sayadaw elaborates upon the lasting benefits of practicing meditation and why everybody should incorporate meditation as an integral part of their daily lives. By sharing his spiritual journey growing up as a man who has studied many religions, Sayadaw demonstrates how meditation enabled him to find the answers he was seeking.

Sayadaw U Jotika was born into a non-Buddhist family on 5 August 1947, educated in a Roman Catholic missionary school, studied Electrical Engineering and read widely in Western and Eastern philosophy and psychology. Sayadaw has been living for extended periods in solitude before moving and staying in Yangon, Myanmar.

We have been publishing Sayadaw's books since year 2005. The list of books are as follows:

1. Snow in the Summer (2005)
2. A Map of the Journey (2005)
3. Dhamma Lived I : Dealing with Negativity & Aggravation  AND  Forgiveness (2005)
4. Life is a Spiritual Journey (2006)
5. Breaking the Link (2006)

Sayādawgyi U Paṇḍita, Passed Away at 94

Sayādawgyi U Paṇḍita

(July 29, 1921 — April 16, 2016)

The modern Vipassanā meditation teacher Sayādawgyi U Paṇḍita has passed away, at the age of 94.

A highly influential Theravada teacher, U Paṇḍita was, at the time of his death, the abbot of Paṇḍitārāma Meditation Center in Yangon, Myanmar, which he founded in 1991. He had himself been trained by the famed Mahāsi Sayādaw, and took over the Mahāsi Meditation Center after Mahāsi’s death in 1982.

U Paṇḍita’s influence in the West was strong with students and teachers alike, due in part to his time teaching at Insight Meditation Society (IMS) in Barre, Massachusetts in 1984. (Read IMS teacher Sharon Salzberg’s account of training with U Pandita.) The talks he gave there were later collected in the book In This Very Life: Liberation Teachings of the Buddha. He also authored several other writings, including the book The State of Mind Called Beautiful.

Founding IMS teacher Joseph Goldstein told LionsRoar.com:

So many of us here are saddened to hear
of Sayādaw U Paṇḍita’s passing.
He was such a powerful influence in all of our lives,
urging us on to realize our highest aspirations.
His great service to the Dhamma is inestimable.
It feels like the passing of an era.
