Many devout Buddhists ordained temporarily to practise meditation under the Sayādaw’s expert guidance. Sitting to the Venerable Mahāsi Sayādaw’s left, is Chanmyay Sayādaw U Janaka, who served as his interpreter during his foreign mission. Seated just in front of U Janka is Mrs Ruth Dennison, a well-known teacher of Vipassanā meditation in the tradition of Sayagyi U Ba Khin. Bhikkhu Pesala is seated at the extreme
right of the photograph. The tall slim young man in the blue-check shirt standing at the back behind U Janaka is now known as Ajahn Karuniko, a senior monk in the English Forest Sangha. | Next |
