The Adventure of My Practicing Sunlun Way of Vipassana Meditation (2)

I seem to be always writing about myself, my dear readers? I hope someone who may read what I write will understand that these adventures contain a great deal about me. I would have you to know that since I was a little girl indeed, I seldom dared to open my heart to anybody else except to my readers. You will always be a lucky person at all as long as you are my reader. The adventure of my practicing Sunlun way of Vipassana Meditation in the memories of my childhood was not as smooth as silk. But I never felt ashamed to recall my memories, and write down openly to my readers. My Childhood Memory Our Venerable Monk - Sunlun Sayadaw U Vinaya (1914, 5th August Wednesday - 2012 6th October Saturday) (Sayadaw at 59 years of monkhood.) Sunlun Sayadaw U Vinaya (Former Head of Kaba Aye Sunlun Gu Kuyaung Meditation Centre, 7th Miles) showed us how to practice meditation for total 100 minutes; 50 minutes for breathe hard, and another 50 minutes for keeping full mindf

A Visit To The Shwedagon Pagoda

(Still crowded, and crowded at the pagoda platform whether it rained heavily or under the bad weather.) People visited to the Shwedagon Pagoda frequently. Paying respect at the foot of the pagoda is one of the ways of Buddhist life. People crowded at the Pagoda platform every time we visited. Practice meditation, offering flowers, candles, incenses or colorful things, or walking on the pagoda platform mostly as keeping the Shwedagon Pagoda at the right side, or praying, etc that Buddhists usually do. (Watering stupa, and mythical symbol, at the birthday corner.) When I was young, I went to the Shwedagon pagoda with my friends the time final examination finished. We prayed, and wished for what we wanted at the foot of the pagoda. Surely we were wishing to pass the examination with distinction, or with credit. (We wish everything we want at the foot of the pagoda.) Today, I was going to the Shwed

Our Venerable Monk - Sunlun Sayadaw U Vinaya

Sunlun Sayadaw U Vinaya (1914, 5th August Wednesday - 2012 6th October Saturday) (full moon day of WahKaung 1276 in Burmese calendar - 1374) (Sayadaw at 59 years of monkhood.) Childhood Memory I remembered when we went together with our grandparents and our parents to the 7th Mile Gabaraye Sunlun Gukyaung Monastery to practice meditation under the guidance of our venerable Sayadaw U Vinaya, Sayadaw warmly welcomed children and encouraged them to practice meditation like adults. But we could not observe such a hard meditation as adults do. But we learned something about mindfulness since our childhood a little by little. When we grew older, me and my twin brother went to the Sunlun monastery by bicycles where our Sayadaw U Vinaya resided, and practiced meditation once per week. We admitted that meditation made our mind peace. Sayadaw was glad to see us when we came and took meditation under the roof of the monastery. Sayadaw suggested that we should practi

My Life Will Go On…..

(I know my life as a writer gave me better life. My life at the University was like a fool’s paradise for spending more than 10 years with the hope of to be a tutor. I studied French language at A.F expecting a change in my fortune. But the situation did not change.) Here how my story started on….. When I became ambitious, I was attending second year in the University by the specialized subject of mathematics. Yes, I admitted that I had never had ambition before. Some friend of mind wanted to be a doctor, some wanted to be an engineer, others wanted to have good marks in high school. I had no thought of ambition in my high school years. That’s why I only got major subjects as mathematics to go to the University. My twin brother was more intelligent than me. His good marks allowed him to attend the Engineering subject at the Rangoon Institute of Technology (R.I.T). I felt ashamed of myself at the first time comparing with my brother’s education. I though

His videos inspired me so much. It enlightened me to produce ‘Alice in Wonderland’ with Burmese illustrations! I discussed with my father and, my brother to publish ‘Alice’ with my brother’s draw

E.Books and I

(photo - When I read a book by holding with my both hands, I could feel confident. I felt this book belongs to me.) My friends suggested me reading e-books by Tablet. Tablet was the name when I heard for the first time, I thought tablet meant a pill or a dose? Later I realised that it was also known as a i-pot or i-book or e-book,etc. It was a portable device. I saw it from my friend for the first time. It looked like a perpendicular whiteboard with the height of about 6 inches and 12 inches of length. It’s depth was very tiny. My friend said it could store the documents, books and photos. If the old books could not be found in the book shops, find in the internet and keep them in Tablet by downloading. Any Suggestions! But my cousin said it was not easy to get ebooks from the internet in my country. By the way, there were many free ebooks in online. The Tablet could be used as an i-book as well as mobile phone. He suggested that I would try to download free
