December 01, 1846

Died
June 27, 1923

Genre


The Venerable Ledi Sayadaw, Aggamahapandita, D. Litt. was an influential Theravada Buddhist monk. He was recognized from a young age as being developed in both the theory (Abhidhamma) and practice of Buddhism and so was revered as being scholarly. He wrote many books on Dhamma in Burmese and these were accessible even to a serious lay person, hence he was responsible for spreading Dhamma to all levels of society and reviving the traditional practice of Vipassanā meditation, making it more available for renunciates and lay people alike.

Quotes by Ledi Sayadaw  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“world and the other worlds, make it known to others. These ten matters are clearly understood by all wise men as within the scope of their mundane knowledge. Such right view, commonly attainable (even without encountering the Buddha or his teaching), is the basic attainment in one who calls himself a Buddhist. In the world, any wrong view can be dispelled by a knowledge of dependent origination.”
Ledi Sayadaw, A Manual of the Excellent Man: Uttamapurisa Dipani
