Sayadaw Ashin Thitzana

Dear List-members,

In a message dated August 28 of last year I wrote in a query about the title
"Sayadaw" that the Sayadaw Ashin Thitzana was a Tipitakadhara. Well, I
discovered today that this is not correct and it should be Dvipitakdahara. I
got the information from a short biography (quitte impressive!) about him on
the net at the following url:

I first met him in 1982 here in Ontario, also in 2008 outside of Montreal,
and again last summer at my cottage. There's a possibility he may be
teaching at the Dharma Centre of Canada later this year. The centre was
founded by a Cnadain, Ananda Bodhi Bhikkhu (later known as Namgyal Rinpoche)
in the 60s. His teacher was the late Saydaw U Thilawuntha. U Thitzana had
accompanied this Sayadaw to the centre in 1982 where I met them both.

Best wishes,

Jim
