Re: Proper order to learn Abhidhamma Pitaka
:anjali: As per title, I am wondering how the Burmese monks learn the Abhidhamma Pitaka? Did they completed the learning of Suttanta Pitaka first? Or they will learn Abhidhamma Pitaka at the same time? Since there are seven books in Abhidhamma Pitaka, what is the correct sequence to learn so that I...

Revisiting this topic, there can be no answer to whether he is an Arahant or not, or whether he is a Bodhisatta or not.
And I hope can visit Wat Rakhang again.

Re: In need of a mantra
Not exactly mantra (because mantra is not used in Theravada Buddhism), but short Pali phrase or sentence is certainly helpful to bind the mind from wandering around. Examples: (1) Namo Buddhassa. (2) Namo te buddha vīratthu, vippamuttosi sabbadhi. (3) Buddham saranam gacchami. (4) Yamkinci samudaya ...

Re: Problem - Muslim family
Islam is definitely neither on par nor comparable to the teachings of Lord Buddha.
Lord Buddha taught not to kill living beings for sacrifice or religious purpose. But Islam practising Korban and kill as sacrifice.
