We don't have to know many techniques, only one; but that we should know clearly. If we establish one technique with strong effort and get rid of all doubts then, without asking anyone else, we shall find the answers. Choose one technique and practice it steadfastly. If you focus your mind at the small spot where the air touches when you breathe in and out, then there will be no wanting, no aversion or delusion, and as these three are absent, you are immediately out of suffering. So, for a short moment your mind is pure.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNow, if your last mind-moment came up at this time and you died, would there be anything to be worried about or to be afraid of?

And why can you accomplish this? Because the time is right, your form of existence is right, and you are putting forth right effort.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe disciples of the Buddha took the practice from the Teacher and worked with unwavering perseverance.

Webu Sayadaw was one of the most highly respected monks of the last century in Burma. (Sayadaw is a title used for monks.

Webu Sayadaw was born in the village of Ingyinpin in upper Burma on 17 February 1896. He underwent the usual monk's training in the Pāli scriptures from the age of nine, when he became a novice, until he was twenty-seven. In 1923 (seven years after his ordination), he left the monastery and spent four years in solitude. He practiced (and later taught) the technique of  \u003cem\u003eānāpāna-sati\u003c\/em\u003e (awareness of the in-breath and out-breath). He said that by working with this practice to a very deep level of concentration, one is able to develop \u003cem\u003evipassanā\u003c\/em\u003e (insight) into the essential characteristics of all experience \u003cem\u003eanicca\u003c\/em\u003e (impermanence), \u003cem\u003eanattā\u003c\/em\u003e (egolessness), and \u003cem\u003edukkha\u003c\/em\u003e (unsatisfactoriness). Ven. Webu Sayadaw was famous for his unflagging diligence in meditation and for spending most of his time in solitude. He was reputed to be an \u003cem\u003earahant\u003c\/em\u003e (fully liberated one), and it is said that he never slept.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eFor the first fifty-seven years of his life, Ven. Webu Sayadaw stayed in upper Burma, dividing his time among three meditation centers in a small area. After his first trip to Rangoon, at the invitation of Sayagyi U Ba Khin, in 1953, he included the International Meditation Center of Sayagyi U Ba Khin in southern Burma in his travels, visiting there to teach and meditate from time to time. He also went on pilgrimage to India and Sri Lanka. Webu Sayadaw spent his final days at the meditation center in the village where he was born. He passed away on 26 June 1977, at the age of eighty-one.\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Sayadaw, Webu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42101575712862,"sku":"TRWS01","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"6228","title":"Way to Ultimate Calm","description":" \u003cp\u003eThis book brings together a wide number of discourses by one of the outstanding Burmese meditation masters of the twentieth century.
