great center, but can be extremely noisy when nearby village blares loud music 24hr for days on end..impossible to meditate. such a shame because without the noise the center is excellent

I did 45 days , looking back I was trying to Spiritual Bypass events in my life. The schedule is strict and intense. On the last day I almost had a panic attack , trying to explain to my monk that my brother died when I was 13 and obviously I felt I had some intense emotional baggage which was linked to the “attack” that wasn’t being released. The monks words were exactly. “dont worry , be present”. Looking back the monk had a lack of understanding , empathy and I am even questioning his compassion. Wether or not it was cultural or language differences there was something not “right” about his response which leaves a very bad taste in my mouth. In the same interview the monk then proceeded to sign a book for me which he had written , in hindsight I even find this more perplexing. Being in such a vulnerable state because of the intensity of the schedule we need to trust the teacher but in my case I felt a complete lack of trust and understanding and I feel let down from monks who are supposed to be “wise”. I was there on my own accord and I have learnt a valuable lesson that we cant meditate ourselves out of our emotional pain. Spiritual bypass so to speak , so for me into therapy I go! I couldn’t recommend this place. With Metta.

Great place to practice Vipassana/Satipatthana Meditation and improve your knowledge about Theravada Buddhism. Sadhu sadhu sadhu!
