12 Visit to Japan
high-definition creative commons photographs about Visit to Japan from the Life of Mahasi Sayadaw together with further information.
In May 1956, Mahāsi Sayādaw led an eminent delegation to Moji, Japan, establishing a permanent Theravāda foothold following post-war Japanese interest. The monks successfully surveyed and consecrated a legally autonomous Sīmā boundary on Kyushu Island and erected a replica World Peace Pagoda. Before returning to Burma, the Sayādaw held strategic meetings with local associations and closely analyzed Japanese Zen meditation methods to understand its appeal.
