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 Day at the Myanmar Cartoon‘s 100th Anniversary

A Day at the Myanmar Cartoon ‘ s 100 th Anniversary (MCC hall held 100th Anniversary of Myanmar Cartoon.) The first cartoon in Burma appeared as celebrating Christmas at the supplementary issue of the Rangoon Time Newspaper in English in 1912. The cartoonist signed as ‘Monkey’ at below. In 1915, the famous Burmese cartoonist, later became father of Burmese cartoons, U Bagalay drew in Yangon (Rangoon) Time Newspaper in English. We recalled this memory and marked the Christmas season of December of this year 2015 as 100 th Anniversary of Burmese cartoons. (Cartoons models greets us as my old friends, long-time-no-see friends...) It was held MCC garden in Rangoon. I planned to go there on 30 th December - the first day of their celebration. It was held for 2 days – 30 th and 31 st December of 2015. The MCC garden was a very large field, I saw cute cartoons models stood far away from me from the entrance, under the hard sun. The cartoons mode...

Sunlun Method of Vipassana Meditation is The Best Medicine

2023 Video Updated; please click this link, https://juniorwin-english.blogspot.com/2023/01/part-1-adventure-of-my-practice-sunlun.html (My younger days with Sayadaw U Vinaya.) The experience of practicing meditation learnt from the meditation master Sunlun Sayadaw U Vinaya, changed our mind clear, and fresh. He taught us to practice meditation for total 100 minutes; 50 minutes for breathe hard, and another 50 minutes for keeping full mindfulness in pain that would happen during meditating until the time completed. Too tough for the beginner, but by the guidance of Sayadaw U Vinaya, the time seemed to pass quickly. It was different between practice meditation at home, and practice meditation at the monastery. At home, time seemed passed so slowly. That’s why we tried to go and do meditation at the Sunlun monastery. (Meeting Sayadaw U Vinaya 12 years ago.) When I was at school, I did meditation when the examination came near. Sayadaw U Vinaya said it was good for you...

Related Link; 2023 June Updated Youtube Video https://juniorwin-english.blogspot.com/2023/06/dhamma-dana-by-junior-win.html (2023 June Related Video) (A Pagoda at Myingyan) I received letters from my readers who discussed with me the ‘ Sunlun Way of Vipassana Meditation ’ , and I heard their interest about the Sunlun Sayadaw; U Vinaya.

Here, I want to share you, this booklet that was written by my father, and he distributed to all the people around the world who are interested in Sunlun Way of Meditation. The book called ' THE SUNLUN WAY OF VIPASSANA MEDITATION. The Basics of the Method' in both English and Burmese language, is now freely for all the public to know the Sunlun way of meditation.

Birthday Ceremony, and Kason, Pouring Water on the Sacred Tree

Today was the full moon day of Kason (May), and it was the day the Buddha was born, and He attained the Enlightenment at the foot of the Bodhi Tree, and the passing of the Buddha into the Nibbana. So, there the full moon day of Kason month is a three-fold anniversary happened. (It was grateful for Sunlun Sayadaw, born on the full moon day of Kason.) If one were born on the full moon day of Kason, it would be very grateful for him having such noble coincidence. Sunlun Sayadaw U Wara was born on the full moon day of Kason. He was now 71st years old. I was present at the 7th Mile Sunlun monastery for His birthday anniversary of Sunlun Sayadaw U Wara on the full moon day of Kason today. There were 16 monks attended the alms-giving ceremony, and hundreds of Buddhists came and participated. One can offer any gifts to each monk when monks went forth to the way where people waited. (Buddhists gathered at the Sunlun Monastery) (People were ready to offer alms-giving while monks were ...

The Night She Rest In Peace; Longing for a Burmese Poet – Kyi Aye

(Kyi Aye (13th December 1929 – 2016)) (A photo of Kyi Aye (left), and the sketch of her (right), the artist – unknown) A very rare woman poet in Burma, Kyi Aye, an old friend of my grandparents, once lived together at Aye-Yeik-Tha in the year around 1950. She was at that time, a Rangoon University student attending a bachelor of arts. She later studied at University of Medicine, and became a doctor. My grandma and she were closed friends. Grandma admired her because of her strong ambition in the education, and her beautiful literary works and her own successful household life with 8 children (including a pair of twins.). Grandma and she discussed about literature for a long time until she left Burma (1970?). Kyi Aye had been already writing poems and romance since her high school. Her romantic poems were famous for not only her writings, but also for the artistic feelings themselves. While I was reading her poems in my younger days, I thought Omar Khayyam was reborn as our poet, Kyi ...

A Memory of My Grandparents…. (U) Khin Maung Latt and (Daw) Khin Myo Chit

Their Brief Stories (My grandpa with a Traditional Burmese clothes in 1958-59.) (U) Khin Maung Latt (1915 – 1996), my grandfather, was an English teacher, already looked like a teacher. On his face there was something, which reminds one of Sherlock Holmes. If he wore a long coat with a cherrywood pipe in his mouth, he would be a living image of Sherlock Holmes. He never smoked, but he had once a habit of smoking cigar. I knew because I saw him smoking in the photograph. But I was told that he gave up smoking since we were born. He did not wish my twin brother to follow his smoking habit. (My grandpa had a habit of smoking cigar, I knew because I saw him smoking in the photograph.) My grandpa was a tall man in figure with a height of 5 feet 11. His smiling lips showed his kind and sympathy. He loved to teach English grammar, essays, Shakespeare’s Plays and Bernard Shaw’s Short Stories. He had a habit of doing preparation ...
