Myanmar Buddhist Academic Center (22.2.2011)

On our last day in Bodhgaya we meet with Javana again. He takes us to the Myanmar Buddhist Academic Center where about 25 monks from Myanmar live and some more study. We are served coffee, oranges, cake and jelly from Myanmar and we get the opportunity to meet the president of the center. His name is also Javana and has been a novice for 11 and a monk for 20 years. The two Javanas involve us in a very interesting lively and open-minded discussion. We talk about the motivation for and the challenges of becoming a monk, about what really matters in life, about peace and why it seems so hard to achieve, about Buddhism and meditation and about our journey. We are encouraged to come to Myanmar on our next trip to Asia and to practice meditation. Time passes like nthing before we say good-bye to the older Javana whilst the younger Javana gives us a quick tour of nearby Magath University where he lives and studies.
