THE STATE OF MIND CALLED BEAUTIFUL – SAYADAW U PANDITABHIVAMSA

THE STATE OF MIND CALLED BEAUTIFUL

SAYADAW U PANDITABHIVAMSA

Editor’s Preface 

The talks in this book were given at a one-month retreat in May 2002 inaugurating the Forest Refuge, a new long-term retreat center at Insigh Meditation Center in Barre, Massachusetts. 

I had not seen my old teacher, Sayadaw U Pandita, in eleven years. “How did I let you get so old!” I thought, seeing the softened contours of his cheeks, his swollen legs and difficulty walking. 

His mind is as incisive and dynamic, his character admantine as when we first met, nearly half my life ago; and yet the aging process is having its inexorable way with both of us.
