Life and lineage

Mahasi Sayadaw was the architect of the modern Burmese vipassana revival and the originator of the noting technique that bears his name. He was the principal teacher of Sayadaw U Pandita (and through him of Joseph Goldstein, Sharon Salzberg, and the entire IMS lineage). His Manual of Insight is one of the foundational documents of contemporary insight meditation.
