PA-Auk meditation in Na uyana

[Sabbe_Dhamma_Anatta]

Hello,

About that book, as per what I heard from the monks and even nuns from Na Uyana ,and with my own experiences I will not completely discard that book as rubbish.Even some of the serious allegations might be true (if what I heard is right) . But nobody talk about them in public.every body talk about it in pvt. I wanted to reply this only because VINAYA is the very thing that will keep the SASANA going.the life of the sasana depends on vinaya. that's the sole reason I wanted to back that book just a bit.

HOWEVER, some one who reads that book will think Na Uyana as complete devil type monastery . That's is not. there might be some issues happened once in while.But these are not enlightened monks know?So its sensible to expect some mistakes. So according to my experience, Na Uyana is very good place if you want to follow pristine vinaya. And unlike what that book paints , Most Ven. Agulgamuwe ariyananda (abbot) is very good monk. And its one of the best places in Sri lanka to learn monk life.

Reading the book "The Nude Monk's burning Robes"....

I was wondering is it true in Sri Lanka, Sinhalese people say this: "...oldest Siam sect to an elephant thief, Amarapura sect to a cow thief, and Rāmañña sect to a gem thief."....

Not only limited to the criticism of Na uyana sect and Pak Auk Tradition, the author also discuss about the downgrading Sasana system in Burma, immorality of Thai monastics, the fallacy of Abhidhamma, the absence of Atthakatha, the Visuddhimagga being a wrong Dhamma, Thai forest tradition as gurudom, etc....
