Goenkaji , the principal teacher of Vipassana talks about his teacher Sayagyi U Ba Khin. He was one of the foremost teachers of Vipassana of our time a source of inspiration to many, including myself. One of his unique contributions was that he gave much attention to foreigners and non-Buddhists in his teaching.
Sayagyi’s way was not the way of scholars. Every word that he spoke came from his own experience. Therefore his teachings have the life of experience within them, and this is why every word said by him was very powerful and encouraging to his students. He wrote little, and he spoke little, but still, many students were benefited by his teaching.
He was engaged in government responsibilities until the age of sixty-seven and had very little time to spare for the teaching of Dhamma. Therefore, he took a vow: "May only ripened people with very good pāramīs (virtues) from the past come to me to take Dhamma, and may these people later take the torch of Dhamma, and spread it around the world."
