Dear friends,
For 10 day meditation this year, I meditated at a center in Thailand called Dhamma Sudhalaya. I had to renounce my communication devices. So I was out of service for 10 days.And we were treated with a vegetarian food and had to keep a precepts for all students.
For the new students, they can just keep five precepts. There were altogether 13 male students and among them three were new students.We are not allowed to talk to one another for 9 days and on the last day we are allowed to talk. And I found out that all the students came from different parts of the world. And the new students are were very much interested in meditation and they also practiced it ardently.
The technique used in this ten days session was the same as that from my previous courses that I took in my home country, Myanmar. So the technique was familiar to me, but I found out that I improved myself a lot and gained new experience that I had never gained before. The facility there was very nice and the food served there was also delicious - the food barely contains oil and And I found it very much helpful to my health because I need to refrain from oily and fried food.
We all had to follow the rules and regulations of the center and found that everyone came out successfully at the end. Congratulations to all of them. Below below are some of the photo taken at the center before and after the course finished.
Although I can take the course in my mother language, I took it in English and I found that I gained more experience as well as knowledge from this course. The course is totally free and at the end of the course we could donate as much many as we could afford. Those were some of the experiences I would like to share with you.
