Although this went on until it was nearly dawn, he had not yet attained Arahantship. Realising that he had practised walking meditation to excess and that, in order to balance concentration and effort, he should practise meditation in the lying posture for a while, he entered his room. He sat on the bed and then lay down. While doing so and noting, ‘lying, lying’, he attained Arahantship in an instant. Venerable Ānanda was only a stream-winner (sotāpanna) before he lay down. From the stage of a stream-winner he reached the stages of a once-returner (sakadāgāmi) a non-returner (anāgāmi) and an arahant (the final stage of the path).
On Sunday 1st February, at the opening ceremony of the meditation centre named ‘Bhāvanā Majjha hāna’, Mahāsī Sayādaw delivered an address in Pā i after Prime Minister Bandaranāyake and some others had spoken. The members of the mission next went on an extended tour of the island, visiting several meditation centres where Mahāsī Sayādaw gave discourses on vipassanā meditation. They also worshipped at famous sites of Buddhist pilgrimage like Polonnāruwa, Anurādhapura and Kandy. This historic visit of the Burmese mission under the inspiring leadership of Mahāsī Sayādaw was symbolic of the ancient and close ties of friendship between these two Theravāda Buddhist countries.
It was mistakenly assumed that this method was an innovation of the Sayādaw’s, whereas the truth is that it had been approved several years before Mahāsī Sayādaw adopted it, by no less an authority than the mūla (original) Mingun Jetavan Sayādaw, and that it is in no way contrary to the Buddha’s teaching on the subject. The reason for Mahāsī Sayādaw’s preference for this method is that the average meditator finds it easier to note this manifestation of the element of motion (vāyodhātu). It is not, however, imposed on all who come to practise at any of the Mahāsī meditation centres.
