Burmese Buddhism

Vipassana in Myanmar

It is true that Buddhist resources are now easily attainable at bookstores and on the web. Nevertheless, some types of information and “ways in” are only available to yogis who are physically in Myanmar. For these practitioners, knowledge and experience can arise in many forms—from meeting a meditator friend who has just come from such-and-such monastery, to hearing about an upcoming Dhamma talk by a particular Sayadaw, to finding a precious, out-of-print book unavailable online. The blog endeavors to bring at least some of this process of discovery online, making it accessible to practitioners around the world.

The posts are a mixture of notices about courses and events, testimonials and journal entries from yogis, inspiring quotes and biographies of monastics, tidbits about Burmese culture, pilgrimage photos, and much more. Yogis who have interesting or inspirational stories or information about Dhamma in the Golden Land are encouraged to use the contact form on the blog. Guest posts about particular experiences and announcements of upcoming events are often featured.
