MAHASI MEDITATION CENTER. Buddha Sasana Nuggaha Organization. 16 Sasana Yeiktha Road. Tel: 50392 / 52501. Cable: Mahasi Yangon. Buddha Sasana Nuggaha Organization was founded in 1947 in Burma (now Myanmar) with the object of propagating the Buddha Sasana (i.e. Teaching of the Buddha) through scriptural learning and practice of Vipassana (Insight) meditation. None-profit in character, it operates the Mahasi Meditation Center with subscriptions from its members and voluntary donations (Dana) from devout Buddhists throughout the country. Mahasi Sasana Yeiktha. This meditation center was opened two years after the establishment of the above Organization, with the most Venerable Mahasi Sayadaw as its Principal Preceptor. It is located on approximately twenty acres of quiet pleasant garden land in Hermitage (now Sasana-yeiktha) Road, Bahan Township of Rangoon (now Yangon, off Kaba Aye Pagoda Road). There are over one hundred buildings on the grounds for housing the meditation teachers and Yogis (meditation trainees) both Bhikkhus and laity, men as well as women and providing complete retreat facilities. How to reach the Center. The Center is within easy reach, only about twenty minutes drive by taxi from the Yangon Mingaladon International Airport, or about ten minutes by car from the Tourist Center in downtown Yangon. It is shown in Tourist guide maps and there is a prominent signboard at the junction of Kaba Aye Pagoda and Sasana-yeiktha Road to guide the visitor. Admission And Entry Visa. Foreign Yogis seeking admission should be ready and willing to undergo full-time Vipassana meditation for about six to twelve weeks which is considered and appropriate period of retreat for one to gain a basic knowledge and experience of Vipassana meditation. Yogis from abroad intending to meditate at the Center should contact the organization in writing beforehand furnishing such particulars as their knowledge of the Buddha-dhamma and previous experience (if any) of Buddhist meditation, the name and address of the center where they have mediated and the Mediation Teacher under whom they have been trained. On receipt of such information the Organization will issue to acceptable person a "Sponsorship letter" to be attached to his or her application to the Myanmar Embassy or Consulate nearest to one'� residence. Then only, issue of a "Special Entry Visa" for meditation for a period of six to twelve weeks will be considered by the authorities. Candidates are advised not to come with a Tourist Visa of seven days as it cannot be extended on any grounds. Processing of a Special entry Visa usually takes three to four weeks as it involves 2 or 3 government departments. It should be noted that the period of stay granted is normally intended for the practice of intensive Vipassana meditation only. Preference will be accorded to those applicants who are recommended by the Organization and teachers known to Mahasi Meditation Center. Accommodation. Boarding and lodging are free for foreign Yogis for the entire period of their stay and practice at the Center. Accommodation for Bhikkhus (monks) laymen, Thilashins (nuns) and woman Yogis is separate and assigned on arrival. Rooms are either single or double and furnished with bed and bedding. Toilets and washing facilities are adequately provided. The Organization endeavors to provide single rooms for foreign Yogis wherever possible, but if sufficient single-room accommodation is not available, yogis are expected to share the same room with another Yogi. Yogis should provide themselves with daily personal requisites such as toiletries, towels, their regular vitamins and mineral supplements and medicines. They should also provide themselves with their own meditation cushions if they are in the habit of using them. Either vegetarian or non-vegetarian breakfast and lunch are served in Myanmar style. Breakfast is at 5:30 a.m. and lunch at 10:00 a.m. There is no evening meal, all the Yogis at the Center, observing the Precept of abstaining from food after 12 noon. But soft drinks, jelly and Su-tu-ma-du, an emulsion containing honey, molasses, ghee and sesame oil) may be taken. Yogis will find this diet regime definitely helpful for meditative practice. Medicare Care. There is a dispensary at the center for treatment of minor aliments open every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday form 4 to 6 p.m. Cases needing special attention will be treated at the State Hospital. Yogis preferring treatment at a private clinic will themselves have to bear the necessary expenses for the same. Climate Condition of Yangon, Myanmar. Rainy season starts towards the end of May and lasts until first or second week of October with an average rainfall of 80-100 inches. Cool season begins about the month of November and lasts until the middle of February. Night temperature varies between 55-56 degrees F. Dry weather prevails from middle of October until end of April. Maximum temperature in the months of aril and May could reach 103-104 degrees F. Satipatthana Vipassana Meditation. Satipatthana Vipassana Bhavana is insight meditation through mindfulness and is practiced with a view to positive realization of the truths of impermanence, suffering and impersonality of all conditioned mental and physical phenomena, especially of those phenomena as manifested in the Yogi�s own person. This way was taught by the Buddha for all who seek to grow spiritually and eventually attain enlightenment. It should not be confused with "Samantha Bhavana" which aims at tranquillity of mind and acquisition of certain psychic or occult powers. Program of Meditation. There are no periodically scheduled or weekend Courses, but the Center is open throughout the year to receive those who are prepared to undertake full-time Satipatthana Vipassana meditation for six to twelve weeks. All lay Yogis are expected to observe the eight Precepts throughout the length of their stay, which will be explained by the Meditation Teacher at the time of introduction. The observance of those moral Precepts conduces to the development of Vipassana Insight knowledge. At the time of their induction, a tape-recorded talk on Satipattana Vipassana Meditation, its purpose, method of practice and benefits derived there-form is played for the new Yogi.

  • Abstracts Pp. 152-450
    Kingship Ideology in Sino-Tibetan Diplomacy during the VII-IX centuries Emanuela Garatti In this paper I would like to approach the question of the btsan-po’s figure and his role in the international exchanges like embassies, peace agreements and matrimonial alliances concluded between the Tibetan and the Tang during the Tibetan Empire. In order to do that, I examine some passages of Tibetan and Chinese sources. Tibetan ancient documents, like PT 1287, the PT 1288, the IOL Tib j 750 and the text of the Sino-Tibetan treaty of 821/822. For the Chinese sources I used the encyclopaedia Cefu yuangui which has never been extensively used in the study of the Tibetan ancient history. Concerning the embassies one can see that they are dispatched with important gifts when the btsan-po want to present a request. Those are registered as tribute (ch. chaogong) by the Chinese authors but one can assume, analysing the dates of embassies that the Tibetan emissaries are sent to the court with presents only when they had to present a specific request from the Tibetan emperor. Moreover, the btsan-po is willing to accept the diplomatic codes but refuses all attempt of submission from the Chinese authorities like the “fish-bag” (ch. yudai) proposed to the Tibetan ambassadors as a normal gift. For the treaties, the texts of these agreements show the evolution of the position of the btsan-po towards the Chinese court and the international diplomacy: the firsts pacts see the dominant position of Tang court over the btsan-po’s delegation.

  • Spiritual Protection, Justice, and Religious Tensions in the Karen State.1 Mikael Gravers
    A Saint in Command? Spiritual Protection, Justice, and Religious Tensions in the Karen State.1 Mikael Gravers Abstract In 1995, when the Myaing Gyi Ngu Sayadaw, U Thuzana, split the KNU and formed the DKBA, he was considered a stooge of the Myanmar army. However, the monk had a vision and a prophecy of revitalizing a Karen Buddhist land, protect his followers, and uniting all Karens. This article analyses his strategy and events since 1995. It is argued that he organized a theocratic trust net- work and provided protection and justice during the conflict. In recent years his activities have created religious tensions and conflicts. This is related to the general situation in Myanmar where religious identity and nationalism dominates politics. It is argued that religious interventions may create problems for the peace process as well as for democratization and a common law. 1The author conducted fieldwork in Karen State during February and March 2017 together with anthropologist Anders Baltzer Jørgensen, Saw Say Wah and Saw Eh Dah whose assistance was invaluable. The author has visited Myaing Gyi Ngu in 2012, 2013 and 2014. In 2017, the authorities denied us access due to ongoing fighting. In 1996, the author interviewed Karen refugees in Thailand who fled from DKBA. He has also interviewed followers of the monk in Thai- land along the border, as well as in Chiang Mai and Lamphun. Last, but not least, the work on this subject owes a lot to Tim Schroeder who has accompa- nied the author and shared his knowledge. 2 | Gravers စာတမ်းအကျ␺း

  • Buddhism, Violence and the State in Burma (Myanmar) and Sri Lanka
    1 BUDDHISM, VIOLENCE AND THE STATE IN BURMA (MYANMAR) AND SRI LANKA By Juliane Schober Much of recent public and academic discourse on the intersections of religion with conflict in general, and communal violence in particular, has been limited by generalizations about particular religions and a presumably universal conception of the secular. Such discussions often entail implicit presumptions about propensities, an Aessence@ or even authenticity of particular religious traditions and their practical or doctrinal stance towards violence. By illuminating the place of violence in Buddhism, I hope to dispel the notion that religions embracing a doctrine of non-violence are necessarily immune to it. Similarly, religious justifications for violence do not necessarily translate into actuality. My intention is instead to point to the ways in which religious discourse, an universal anthropological phenomenon, tends to intersect with other sources of conflict to augment a potential for violence. A second misconception informing many discussions concerns the often unstated preconception that a western understanding of the secular and its relation to religion are universally shared. Instead, I treat the notion of secular power as an ethnographic concept that is not universally shared, but rather embedded within particular histories of western enlightenment and colonialism. Modern interpretations of the secular, and of secular state power, derived from a particular history of European post-enlightenment thought and were shaped by Christian cultures and modern political ideologies in the west. And western colonialism has been instrumental to circulating interpretations of the secular across cultures in many parts of the globe. Interpretations of secular power in Asian cultures, however, often incorporate different understandings concerning the division of human and divine powers.

  • THE MOGOK SAYADAW Namo Tassa Bhagavato Arahato
    THE MOGOK SAYADAW U Sway Tin 2000 Namo Tassa Bhagavato Arahato Sammasambuddhassa On the road to Mandalay in Myanmar, there is an older town, which its successor has caused it to be called the 'Southern City' or Taung-myo. Left sprawling amidst its thicket of tamarind trees, with houses, here and there beneath their spreading limbs, early settlers had seen it fit to plant them for shade in this once arid land. Its own name, sounding more Indian than Myanmar, perhaps was suggested by Brahmic soothsayers of Bodaw Bayin, the founder of Amarapura. Its people are now enjoying the shade that its thriving tamarinds have provided besides ripened fruit and tender leaves for its kitchens. The people by tradition have been weavers of fine silk for the Court of Myanmar kings. Their looms needed much elbow room and as their industry grew, their town also grew along with add-ons to their homes. While the shuttles clicked and clacked under those roofs, outside there are sounds of childish shrieks as catcher caught flee-er who must now tag another. Sarong clad boys and girls wearing longyis short, so they, too, may outrun the boys. Their national garment is but a loop of woven cotton only needing a straight-line stitching and requires no elaborate tailoring nor wasting an inch of the cloth. Kipling must have known this region as well as its clime. Perhaps stroked by the sun none too gently, he had dryly observed that only mad dogs and his fellow men go out in the noon-day sun.
