Please help me remember one teacher's name

Post by freenickname »

Shalom aleichem. I read a book or article about Buddhism that talked about a master who taught the technique of forced/enhanced breathing, in the same place the author said that the noise in the meditation hall was as if a steamroller (or something similar) was running.
The bottom line was that for the first 40 minutes or even more, it was necessary to breathe hard, concentrating attention under the nose, and then move on to observing pain. He also mentioned Mahashi Sayadaw, saying that his technique also works, but it is not a direct path. And he attached great importance to the observation of pain. Can you help me find the title of the book or the name of the master?
I even asked Chatgpt, but unfortunately with no results.
