GEMS OF MAHASI’S THOUGHTS – MAHĀSI SAYĀDAW

GEMS OF MAHASI’S THOUGHTS

MAHĀSI SAYĀDAW

I would like read to you some selections from this book. This book contains selections from Mahasi Sayadaw’s discourses. There are many books by Mahasi Sayadaw. But most books were originally talks he gave on different occasions. And many of those talks were transcribed and edited and published as books. That is why in Burmese his books are not so difficult to read and understand.

This is the selections from his books in English and published by the Buddhist Publication Society in Sri Lanka. Mahasi Sayadaw taught on different subjects. Actually he based his talks on a discourse given by the Buddha and explained it in detail and also with the reference to the actual practice of meditation. That is why his talks are unique in that he always related to the practice. Here some of his talks which we will call “Gems of Mahasi Thought”.
