Hello,

I'm planning going to myanmar for 3 to 6 month intensive meditation.

A couple years ago I was at the Panditarama Forest Meditation Centre for 4 month.

Now I'm thinking about going back to Panditarama or try another centre?!?!

A friend of mine stayed at the shwe oo min forest centre for 3 month.
He liked it very much.

I would like to know if someone has some retreatexperience at the shwe oo min forest centre and can give some advice?!

What makes me also hesitate

1. I am a bit afraid that its going to be really crowded at panditarama during the 60-day retreat and I dont like that ?!
(that means if its not too late for applying already and they are fully booked fo the dec/jan.-period ?!)

Does anyone attended a 60-day-retreat before and can tell how it is?

2. My friend told me they are teaching cittanupassana at at shwe oo min.

Is it a big difference to mahasi-technique?


Any suggestions for other good Meditationscentres are very welcome!

Thanks in advance!
