I felt never very much attracted to other traditions than Mahasi. I found my stay in Burma the best thing in my life, but I don't think Bhikkhuhood was central to progress in meditation. What was very inspiring (and a bit embarrassing at the same time) was the veneration and support one gets especially as a Westerner in Burma. I felt very obliged to the good people which made my stay possible. As a nun or layman you maybe don't get the same veneration but the same support - at least at the place I stayed in, Chanymay Yeikhtah. Good place.<br /><br />With Metta,<br /><br />ManfredAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
