Ledi Sayadaw\u003c\/a\u003e was the first vipassana teacher that we know of in this tradition in modern times with such detail. His great innovation was to start spreading the actual practice widely and to householders.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this video, Patrick Given-Wilson explores the life of this meditation master and magnificent pariyatti scholar who authored over a hundred expositions on the Dhamma. He was perhaps the most outstanding Buddhist figure of his age. All who have come in contact with the path of Dhamma in recent years owe a great debt of gratitude to this scholarly, saintly monk who was instrumental in reviving the traditional practice of vipassana, making it more available for renunciates and lay people alike. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cfigure\u003e \u003cblockquote style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 1.4rem; line-height: 150%\"\u003e The only way to overcome ... moral failures and inherent weaknesses, is to practice concentration (samatha) according to the teaching of the Buddha. With this mental discipline, the wavering mind and distracting thoughts are inhibited. Then the mind can be turned towards insight practice (vipassana), which reveals the universal characteristics of impermanence, unsatisfactoriness, and not-self. \u003cfigcaption style=\"text-align: right\"\u003e—Ven.
