Mahāsi Sayādaw (1904–1982) has had a far-reaching effect on the practice of insight meditation in Theravada Buddhist countries. His scholastic studies at a village monastery began at age six and culminated several years after his full bhikkhu ordination with highest honors in government-sponsored
Pali and scholastic examinations. After teaching the scriptures for many years he set out with robe and bowl in search of a clear and effective meditation practice. 

James Baraz introduces the teachings in reference to Jack Kornfields book Living Dharma.
