The Venerable Sayadaw U Pandita of Burma (also known as Myanmar), was one of the foremost authorities on vipassana (insight) meditation and a pioneer of the Western mindfulness movement. With thousands of students in centers worldwide, Burma's most senior Buddhist monk also trained hundreds of leading meditation teachers in both the East and West. Yet, despite all of this, and numerous influential books compiled from his public talks, he rarely gave interviews. In Wisdom for the World: The Requisites of Reconciliation, he breaks his silence to reveal some of his most compelling insights, delivered as his final teaching for the people of the world and his native country, Burma. Over 9 consecutive nights before he passed away in April 2016 at the age of 95, the Venerable Sayadaw weighed in on some of the most critical issues facing Burma and the world today through exceptionally rare and remarkable conversations with his first Western student, journalist, and friend of nearly 40 years, Alan Clements. Covering topics from religious extremism to systemic oppression, and the requisites for surmounting them, the Venerable Sayadaw deftly elaborated on the Mahasi Sayadaw system of mindfulness meditation and its application in our troubled world. “More important than victory of others is to be victorious over oneself”, he says, illuminating the difference between right and wrong mindfulness and calling for a worldwide revolution in Spiritual Intelligence, or “SQ” (a key component of his teachings over the past 15 years). As the principle spiritual adviser to many of the leading figures in Burma’s decades long non-violent democratic revolution, Wisdom for the World speaks a final time to those leaders and fosters hope for a country still convulsing from decades of dictatorship. Here, this beloved teacher elucidates the role of reconciliation in calming the turmoil of conflict faced by so many in the world today. With forbe
