About
Sayadaw U
Inndaka
Sayadaw U Inndaka
was born on 5 October 1952 in the village of Thaleba, Ayadaw
Township in Monywa District, Myanmar. After completing the fourth
standard, he became a novice (samanera). In 1972, he ordained
as a monk (bhikkhu) in the Mahagandhayon Monastery with
Mahagandhayon Sayadaw U Janakabhivamsa as his preceptor. He passed
the Pali exams at the primary, intermediate and the advanced levels
up to the Dhammacariya (Religious teacher) Exam. He
subsequently taught the Pali scriptures to monks and novices for
about 10 years in Mandalay.
Sayadaw U Inndaka started practising Satipatthana vipassana
meditation under Chanmyay Sayadaw Ashin Janakabhivamsa. In 1989 he
spent his vassa (rains retreat) at Chanmyay Yeiktha
Meditation Centre, Yangon practising Satipatthana vipassana
meditation under Chanmyay Sayadaw. When vassa ended, he
continued to reside at Chanmyay Yeiktha Meditation Centre and carry
out the duties of pariyatti (duties connected with studying
and learning the scriptures) and patipatti (duties connected
with teaching and practising meditation). In 1995, Chanmyay Sayadaw
appointed him to be the Abbot of the newly established branch of
Chanmyay Yeiktha Meditation Centre in Hmawbi, where he served as the
Meditation Instructor for both Myanmar and foreign monks and lay
meditators.
In 2005 Sayadaw U Inndaka moved into his own monastery after 10
years exemplary service at Hmawbi.
This new centre is located on about
4-acres of land and its address is Chanmyay Myaing Meditation
Centre, Lay Daunk Kan Quarter, Shwe Nantha Sanpya Myothit,
Mingaladon Township (Tel: 951-728820/1), about half an hour’s drive
from Yangon. The aim of the Centre is to conduct intensive training
in Satipatthana Vipassana meditation for Burmese and foreign
yogis throughout the year except during the Burmese New Year in
April when Myanmar people by the thousands join meditation retreats
to avoid the noisy water festival and parents send their children to
monasteries to become temporary novices. In April 2007, Sayadaw
conducted a month-long Buddhist training course for 400 youths who
ordained as temporary novices at the Chanmyay Myaing Centre.
Sayadaw U Inndaka is the author of the book “Metta – The Practice of
Loving Kindness as the Foundation for Insight Meditation Practice”.
It has
been translated into English and German and has served as a very
useful guide for practitioners all over the world.
Sayadaw visits
Malaysia every year to conduct meditation retreats.
