World Dharma – Alan Clements

ALAN CLEMENTS was one of the first Westerners to ordain as a Buddhist monk in Burma where he lived in a monastery during the 1970s and 1980s. During that time he trained in Buddhist psychology and insight (mindfulness) meditation with two of the most respected meditation teachers of the modern era, the Venerable Mahasi Sayadaw, and his successor, Venerable Sayadaw U Pandita.
