(l - r) Ven. U Pandita, Ven. U Silananda, and Ven. U Kosalla, 1959

Sayadaw U Silananda (middle) was my primary meditation instructor and teacher of Buddhism in the 1980s.

The back of the photo is stamped "Miami Herald Staff Photo By: Steve Wever" and dated May 1, 1959. The monks' names are provided (incorrectly identified as "Priests") in typewritten text, with "assigned by Philips-City Editor" on the next line. "Burma" and "Burmese Monks" is handwritten in blue pencil (upside-down relative to the typed and rubber-stamped information). See the link in the 3rd comment, below.

The biography of U Silananda on the Theravada Buddhist Society of America website mentions that he "visited many countries both in Asia and in Europe, and as a member of a party visited the United States in 1959 at the invitation of the U.S. Government."

Taken on: May 1, 1959
