After passing the Dhammacariya Exam, he taught the scriptures for several years. Later he practised satipatthana vipassana meditation under the guidance of the Venerable Chanmyay Sayadaw. Subsequently, he stayed at the Chanmyay Yciktha Meditation Centre where he earned out the duties of pariyatti (duties connected with studying and learning the scriptures) and patipatti (duties connected with teaching and practising meditation) as requested by Chanmyay Sayadaw. In 2005, Sayadaw took up residence in Chanmyay Myaing Meditation Centre where he teaches vipassana and metta meditation to both local and foreign meditators. Sayadaw goes regularly to Malaysia and Singapore where he imparts his vast and deep Dhamma knowledge to all those interested in vipassana and metta meditation. Among the many Dhamma books that Sayadaw has written in Burmese, the books on "Metta" and "The Bojjhahgas" have been translated into English and German.
