About the Author

Webu Sayadaw was one of the most highly respected Buddhist monks of the last century in Burma, famous for his unflagging diligence in meditation and for spending most of his time in solitude. He practiced, and later taught, the technique of "Anapana-sati" (awareness of the in-breath and out-breath). Roger Bischoff is a student of the Burmese and Pali languages who has been teaching Vipassana meditation alongside Mother Sayamgyi at the International Meditation Centre in the UK, and on her travels, since 1989.
