I am now moving on to a different section of my research project. I have been researching International Meditation Centers and now, for the next two months, I will be investigating ‘Living the Life’ of an ordained person as an international visitor. Although the forest temples I will be visiting (Wat Pa Baan That and Wat Pa Nanachat) are more focused on living the life of the monk, there is still a focus on meditation. I am also looking forward to practicing a different method. Although I enjoy and understand the Ajahn Tong method, I am ready to explore the other possibilities and interpretations of practicing vipassana meditation. I am also looking forward to investigating this different area of my research and hopefully this will give me some more perspective on the phenomenon of international meditation centers as well.

Dear Brooke,
I’ll be interested to hear about your experience and might meet you there. Thanks for sharing your experience 
great read!
I’m heading to Luang Ta’s monastery next week too. One of my friend visited Wat Pa Baan and loved it
Ah- I just left and missed you, Cat! I will be writing about my experiences shortly and would like to hear about yours when you get back. How long are you staying?
Sounds great. Although I now practice Zen, I started my Buddhist path in the vipassana tradition. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
