About Sayadaw U Pandita

Sayadaw U Pandita, born on July 28, 1921, and deceased on April 16, 2016, was one of the foremost masters of vipassanā.

U Pandita began practicing vipassanā under the guidance of Mahasi Sayadaw beginning in 1950 and became his sole successor after his death in 1982. He has taught many of the Western teachers and students of the Mahasi style of vipassanā meditation.

U Pandita was known for teaching a rigorous and precise method of self-examination. He taught satipaṭṭhāna or vipassanā, emphasizing Buddhist ethics as a requisite foundation. He was also an erudite scholar of the Pāli Tipiṭaka, the Theravada canon. Until his death at age 94 in 2016, he continued to lead retreats and give Dhamma talks, but he rarely gave interviews.
