Meditation in a Monastery - Yangon - Private

Información

Mahasi Monastery, one of the best monasteries in Yangon for meditation training. Mahasi is renowned as an 'Educational Spa' throughout Myanmar and many pilgrims come here to learn, study and practice Vipassana meditation. Mahasi usually requires a minimum of one-week of study for the local yogis however they have granted special permission for our clients for a one-day program.

First you'll meet with the venerable monk who will discuss the importance of meditation in the life of the Burmese Buddhist people (in English). A meditation teacher (monk) will be there to teach you techniques and methods that have been used for centuries. After an hour of instruction and discussion it is time to practice what you have learned.

Move into the meditation hall for your practice session. Slip away into a deep meditative state, relaxing in the quiet, peaceful setting of Mahasi.

Afterwards return to your hotel or continue your spiritual afternoon with a visit to Shwedagon Pagoda.

Shwedagon is the most revered temple in Myanmar and, in the late afternoon, many nuns, monks and pilgrims gather there to say their evening prayers. Learn about the history and importance of this site with your local guide and enjoy the magical scene as the setting sun casts gorgeous colors onto the 90-metre tall golden stupa.

Afterwards return to your hotel or continue your spiritual afternoon with a visit to Shwedagon Pagoda.
