Discussion of ordination, the Vinaya and monastic life. How and where to ordain? Bhikkhuni ordination etc.
by J_W » Tue Sep 28, 2010 2:56 pm
I am hoping to visit Na Uyana Aranya this November to see whether it would be a suitable place for ordination, but I don't know the procedure to arrange this. Do I need to write a letter of request to the monastery? Is it possible to make arrangements over the phone? Any information would be appreciated.
Kind regards,
Jeff

According to this site (
http://www.metta.lk/temples/galduwa/index.html), they follow the Pa-auk tradition wbich would mean the classical VisuddhiMagga methods of samatha & vipassana.
