Who is the best teacher on Samatha and Vipassana meditation?

I mean, the teacher who we can learn from them right now cause they still alive. I know that maybe i will get variation answer about this. But, i just want to know the refference. Need your help. maybe you can share their lectures also.

I think the best teacher on Samatha and Vipassana is the core teachings of SN/SA suttas themselves. E.g.:

Vipassana in SN/SA suttas is the practice of ā€˜right viewā€™ How to get Right View? - #13 by thomaslaw

Samatha in SN/SA suttas is the practice of ā€˜mindfulnessā€™. See:
