Trung Tâm Thiền Ở Miến Điện – Meditation Centres In Myanmar (burma)

Meditation Centres in Myanmar (Burma)

Meditating in Burma 
One month tourist visas are now available for Burma (now known as Myanmar). There are five meditation centres in Rangoon (Yangon) that cater very generously for foreign meditators, locally called yogis. They are mostly intensive Insight (Vipassana) Meditation centres in the Mahasi Sayadaw tradition. If you wish to practice for more than a month you will need to arrange a special meditation visa from the meditation centre beforehand. All the centres listed below have an ongoing meditation schedule, so you can go there at any time of the year. If you wish to practice with the main teachers it is best to go there during the ‘Rain’s Retreat’ (Vassa) between July and October.

Meditation System: Intensive Satipatthana Vipassana, as taught by the late Mahasi Sayadaw, emphasises the continuity of moment to moment awareness of all physical and mental phenomena. The primary objects of mindfulness are the physical elements (rising and falling of the abdomen during sitting, or lifting, and placing of the feet during walking); mindfulness of non physical elements (mental states, thoughts, perceptions, etc.) is also cultivated. The sequence of meditative experience involves (1) recognition of the object in the field of awareness (2) the deliberate mental noting of the object; and (3) the observation or experience of the object through its duration. (This too, is the format for reporting during the every-other-day interview with the meditation teacher). With diligent and continuous practice, this formal processing of all our mental and physical experiences leads to progressively deeper insights into the essential characteristics of all things: impermanence, infelicity and unsubstantiality. An alternative schedule of sitting and walking sessions (forty -five minutes to an hour) is scheduled some 13 to 14 hours a day, with two meals before noon. Activities such as speaking, reading, writing and listening to tapes, etc. are squarely discouraged. as impediments in the cultivation of continuous awareness. Usually there is a daily, or occasional, Dhamma Talk by the Abbot known as the Sayadaw.

Facilities: All the listed centres below have excellent facilities for men and women meditators. Some single accommodation is available. Boiled water is supplied. The hygiene is good. If you stay in Rangoon there is no danger of malaria and the centres supply mosquitos net as well as bedding,etc. Food, although oily, is of high quality with a great variety of dishes. Perhaps the only negative is that the Rangoon meditation centres are noisy, although a few have established forest mediation centres on the outskirts of Rangoon. There is no charge for the teachings although a donation or dana for the upkeep of the centres are appreciated.

Climate: The Rainy Season starts at the end of May and last until about October, with an average rainfall of 80 to 120 inches. The cool season (when temperatures drop to about 55° F at night) is from November to February. Hot, dry weather prevails from October to April (when maximum daytime temperatures reach 104° F).
