But if it is any comfort let us remind you, that this is a world that revolves around one axis. Its money. In Sri Lanka like many other countries you can learn Pali Language by yourself or under some experienced Bhante. But it will not give you a Certificate or a degree. Why most asian monks come to Sri Lanka is to get a Degree. We see thousands of Bhikkus with P.hd MA etc in Sri Lanka who can write thousands of pages disecting Dhamma. But unfortunately there are very few who have realised, or few who are striving to follow the path, the blessed one showed.<BR/><BR/>Buddha had no Degree. Even the recently pased away Arhants like Most Ven Mun Booridhatta, Ahahn Cha, Bhikku Panyawaddo did not have degrees. But they did not waste this rare oppertunity of a human life in the time of a Buddha Dhamma persuiing mundane goals, like many do nowadays.<BR/>But it is the way of the world. Even in the time of the blessed one there were bhikkus like "Thucca Potilas".<BR/><BR/>May you attain your enlightenment even with no knowladge of Pali.<BR/><BR/>Sawanata Sisilasa Internet RadioAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10083997.post-1118434422978292672005-06-11T02:13:00.000+06:002005-06-11T02:13:00.000+06:00hello there! can you coem and teach meditation to ...hello there! can you coem and teach meditation to us in france?<BR/>metta<BR/><BR/>nickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10083997.post-1114309814960821252005-04-24T08:30:00.000+06:002005-04-24T08:30:00.000+06:00Dear BikkhuSeveral years ago I visited Myanmar wit...Dear Bikkhu<BR/><BR/>Several years ago I visited Myanmar with my Vipassana lay teacher S N Goenka and another 500 of his students. We visited the sites of the chain of teachers from which he comes, U Ba Khin, Sayagi Thetgi, Ledi Sayadaw, and other important Buddhist and Vipassana sites.<BR/><BR/>The people of Myanmar are very friendly and kind in spite of the difficult circumstances in the country. It was wonderful to travel with so many people commited to Dhamma. We were received with great kindness and respect in many places and I wish for happiness and prosperity for the people of Myanmar.<BR/><BR/>One comment about your interests. If you put "pali, abhidhamma, python" instead of the phrases that you have, then they will act as links to other people with similar interests.<BR/><BR/>I also have an interest in all three of these things. I would be happy to discuss them all with you.<BR/><BR/>Metta<BR/>Ray TomesRay Tomeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16351327846356879215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10083997.post-1113816136930453742005-04-18T15:22:00.000+06:002005-04-18T15:22:00.000+06:00i m interested to know more... a refreshing point ...i m interested to know more... a refreshing point of viewAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10083997.post-1105723221591524482005-01-14T23:20:00.000+06:002005-01-14T23:20:00.000+06:00hello, great idea!carry onhello, great idea!carry onAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10083997.post-1105693524852698572005-01-14T15:05:00.000+06:002005-01-14T15:05:00.000+06:00Go for it!Go for it!neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16870196912079880473noreply@blogger.com
