NOTES BY SAYAGYI U CHIT TIN
NHỮNG CHÚ THÍCH CỦA GIÁO THỌ CHIT TIN
A. At that time, Sayagyi was the Chairman of the Sub – Committee for
Patipatti at the Buddha Sàsana Council, Yangon, Myanmar. He was assigned the
task of setting the issues concerning the meditation centres in the country. The
reports received at the Council from these centres that there were a large number
of Path and Fruition State winners ranging from teenage girls to elderly people.
The Exexuctive Committee was comprised of twenty – seven members who were
well – known religious people from all over the country. Most of them were
learned or popular Pàli scholars. They were all concerned that there might be
something wrong at the centres, but they did not dare criticize them since it would
be very harmful to say anything against the Dhamma. In order to resolve the
issue, the Executive Committee had the papers transferred to the Sub – committee
for Patipatti Affaires chaired by Sayagyi. All this occurred in 1953. Sayagyi had
to look for a solution that would not disappoint anyone. He wrote The Basic
Study of the Buddha’s Teachings and theirs Correct Application in Burmese and
submitted it to his Sub – Committeee and later to the Executive Committee. A
resolution was passed to distribute it to all the meditation centres in the country
for their response. No replies came from any of the centres, not even those that
had sent in lists of Path and Fruition State winners. After that, no more of these
lists were sent. Sayagyi sent his printed pamphlet to Webu Sayadaw separately,
through the Deputy Comptroller of Accounts for Burma Railways, U Bo Lay,
whose mother was one of the Sayadaw’s lay supporters. U Maung Maung (an ex –
colonel) who meditated with Sayamagyi in 1984 and who now stays at IMC –
Yangon most of the time, is U Bo Lay’s younger brother.
