He went to school in Darjeeling, India.[3] His first book was an English translation of Nanda Thein Zan's novel Passing Over Rough Ground.[1] Moe Hein also wrote travelogues, memoirs, a collection of poems and articles on religion.[2]

He contributed a wide variety of articles to journals and magazines between 1961 and 2007, writing under the pen names "Think" and "Son of Journal Kyaw".[1] His lifetime Buddhist philosophy was evident in his 1999 English-language Harmony of Head and Heart.[3]

He taught at the Pariyatti Sasana University in Yangon. His topics included Buddhist philosophy, ethics and the English language. From 2007 he was an adviser to the Aung Pin Lae environmental magazine.[1]

Moe Hein was diagnosed with throat cancer in December 2009.[2] Writing of the diagnosis in an article called An Open Letter to the Angel of Death he said "the arrow shot by infirmity, right-hand man of the angel of death, hit me in the throat in late 2008".[3] He died on 23 September 2010 in Bahan Township, Yangon.[4] He was survived by his wife, a son and a daughter.[2]
