An interesting history of vipassana noting practice
帖子: 17 加入日期: 10-1-31 最近的帖子This got me curious, so a little internet searching revealed that Mahasi Sayadaw had also studied under Jetavan Mingun Sayadaw. A little more searching turned up this history by Silananda Sayadaw, which is really worth reading if you like knowing the lineage of the teachings. Enjoy!

I think you don't need the "www." on that URL. It doesn't work as is, but does if you remove that part.

We all think of noting practice as coming directly from Mahasi Sayadaw, [...]
No. In his wikipedia biography, it's explicitly stated, that he learnt the noting technique from U Narada (Mingun Jetawun Sayadaw, 1868−1955):
Im Alter von 28 verließ er das Kloster Taung-waing-galay Taik Kyaung um als Wandermönch nach einer klaren und einfachen Meditationsmethode zu suchen. Er fand den Meister und Mönch U Narada (Mingun Jetawun Sayadaw, 1868−1955), der eine Form der Einsichtsmeditation (vipassana-bhavana) entwickelt hatte, die unter Bezeichnungen wie „Benennen“ oder „Labelling“ zu Mahasi Sayadaws Markenzeichen werden sollte. Nach zehnjähriger Lernzeit kehrte Mahasi Sayadaw an seinen Heimatort Seikkhun zurück, wo er die ersten eigenen Schüler annahm und auch zahlreiche Laien, einschließlich Kindern und Frauen, in der Einsichtsmeditation unterrichtete.
translation: Aged 28, Mahasi Sayadaw left his monastery to go look for a simple meditation technique. He found the master monk U Narada, who had developed a form of insight meditation which Mahasi Sayadaw later made famous under names such as "labelling, noting". after learning for 10 years, he returned to his hometown and started teaching.
