The Venerable Mahasi Sayadaw's Vipassana Meditation Instructions (English)

Compilation of The Venerable Mahasi Sayadaw's Meditation Instructions, presented by Venerable Sayādaw Dhammikālaṅkārābhivaṃsa.
This meditation instruction VDO was first developed on the occasion which Sayādaw Dhammikālaṅkārābhivaṃsa Aggamahāganthavācakapaṇḍita accepted the invitation to teach Vipassanā meditation in Thailand at Sorntawee Meditation Center.
With his wide knowledge of Mahāsī Sayādaw’s teaching, Sayādaw Dhammikālaṅkārābhivaṃsa brought essential meditation instructions from the original teachings of Mahāsī Sayādaw to help meditators gain a correct and clear understanding of Vipassanā practice.
The majority of this VDO content come from Chapter 5 of Mahāsī Sayādaw’s great work, Manual of Vipasssanā Meditation, a comprehensive and authoritative treatise expounding both the doctrinal and practical aspects of Satipaṭṭhanā meditation. This part was translated from Burmese to English by Venerable Bhikkhu U Sobhana.
The sections “What is Vipassanā?” and “Right Understanding During Meditation” are taken from the book Mahāsī Abroad Part 2, published by the Buddha Sāsanā Nuggaha Organization Mahāsī Sāsanā Yeiktha.
The “Walking Meditation” section comes from Mahāsī Sayādaw’s book, Vipassanā Meditation Instructions. This section was translated from Burmese to English by Ms. Simone Tai who is also generously helped to proofread the English translation of this VDO.
