Ledi Sayadaw

Ledi Sayadaw U Ñaṇadhaja (, ; 1 December 1846 – 27 June 1923 ) was an influential Theravada Buddhist monk. He was recognised from a young age as being developed in both the theory (Abhidhamma) and practice of Buddhism and so was revered as being scholarly. He wrote many books on Dhamma in Burmese and these were accessible even to a serious lay person, hence he was responsible for spreading Dhamma to all levels of society and reviving the traditional practice of Vipassanā meditation, making it more available for renunciates and lay people alike. He subsequently led successful beef boycotts during the colonial era, despite the presence of beef eating among locals and influenced a generation of Burmese nationalists in adopting this stance. He was instrumental in reviving the traditional practice of Vipassana, making it more available for renunciates and lay people alike.
