2014 is, for me, a year of special experience because I was invited by Ricardo and Carlos who has worked with Sadhana Yoga in Italy and Spain.
When they came to Burma in 2013, they visited my monastery, Mahagandhayon in which I have studied and been taught and taught for more than two decades. They did Vipassana mediation just for a few days in my room. However, they loved it so much. This is the reason why they wanted to invite me and how my trip to the west began.
Actually, Buddhism is directly linked to those who believe in it but Dhamma is quite universal and linked to the entire living structure. Therefore, I have very often said that though Dhamma is included in Buddhism, Dhamma should not be restricted within the frame of Buddhism because Dhamma is acceptable, practicable, experiential and understandable to all walks of life. When practiced, it will make everyone equally happy and beneficial. Dhamma has no bias towards anything and anyone.
