Venerable Taungpulu Tawya Kaba-Aye Sayadaw - Theravada Buddhism
Burma - Buddhist Monk and Disciple Dr. Rina Sircar
Authors note: The author, raul garcia,
was a monk under Taungpulu in TKAM
Monastery in BC CA. I do testify that
no description can encompass the
greatness of Taungpulu Sayadaw.
He emanated immense power in
many levels and affected all
greatly and deeply. For example the
stillness around him had no limit, the
light no end, the joy was pure.
He was truly unbounded by the body,
mind and the physical world.
Truly an Arhat.
But for such a brilliant light of
Mindfulness and power -
he was pure Patience and Humility.
He was little known in the so called
'west', there was no publicity campaign
around him. But he came to found the
monastery TKAM were his legacy
is available for all to experience
in his stupa and pagoda, as well
as in retreats. He had the power
to leave there an eternal
legacy of Truth for all to dive deep
into it. Just try it...
One of his lemmas was: Truth is
incredibly simple and incredibly profound.

Next we quote this Source
(Dr. Rina Sircar): https://www.ciis.edu/rina-sircar/taungpulu-sayadaw
Taungpulu Sayadaw, a forest monk
(bhikkhu) residing in Upper Burma,
lived a solitary life for many years
practicing the age-old meditation
methods that lead to the spiritual
realizations of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
He would have practiced this way
contentedly his entire lifetime
were it not for the public recognition
of his spiritual accomplishment
that began with the visit of a young
army doctor, Albert Sircar,
stationed in the area where Taungpulu
was living.
...
Taungpulu Sayadaw had fully
developed the all-knowing mind,
the mind which has the power of
infinite range.
He was known to heal simply by giving
a small glass of blessed water,
or even by a glance. People reported
being protected by him in life-threatening
situations. He would give you advice
if you asked, but mostly
he remained silent.
Outwardly his life appeared monotonous,
yet miraculous incidents surrounded
him. He was seen walking on water,
flying through the air; he released
the dead from the in-between states,
snakes protected him, animals of all
kinds would greet him when he
appeared, and even deer came
out of the forest to pay their respects.
