01 Birth and Early Life
high-definition creative commons posters depicting Birth and Early Life from the Life of Mahasi Sayadaw together with further information.
In rural Seikkhun village, young Maung Thwin (later Mahāsi Sayādaw) grew up surrounded by monastic chanting. Blessed with an elegant, flawless voice and a sharp intellect, elders compared his eloquence to a first-class stallion pedigree. Trained at the Thugyi Kyaung monastery under Venerable U Parama, his education instilled deep scriptural morals. Remarkably, his secular birth name prophetically matched the wealthy gentleman who later built his Rangoon meditation center.
