Āciṇṇa ordained as a novice in 1944, receiving full ordination in 1954. Immersed in the study of the Pāli Canon from his days as a novice, Āciṇṇa gradually broadened his scope of attention to include meditation, initially training under Mahasi Sayadaw and U Paṇḍitā.[1] Not long after, Āciṇṇa would also decide to become a forest monk. In the months and years to follow, he would deepen his meditation abilities under the Kathitwaing, Thanlyin and Shwetheindaw sayadaws,[1] eventually developing his own set of meditation methods, often collectively referred to as the "Pa-Auk method".[5]
On July 21, 1981,[6] Āciṇṇa succeeded the Phelhtaw Sayadaw Aggapañña,[6] at the latter's invitation, as the abbot of the Pa-Auk Forest Monastery.[2] The monastery would then grow into a network of meditation centres across Southeast Asia and beyond, and is currently the largest network in Myanmar.
