The Venerable Ledi Sayadaw is recognised as one of the most eminent and highly respected teachers the Tipitaka. He is most admired for his pioneering efforts to spread the Dhamma to the West which has benefitted so many. As S.N. Goenka says, “He was the most brillant star in the galaxy of Dhamma teachers of this age, both in the fields of Pariyatti as well as Patipatti.”

The Venerable Webu Sayadaw is another inspirational teacher from last century. He encouraged Sayagyi U Ba Khin, S.N. Goenka’s teacher, to start teaching the Dhamma.
