In Myanmar (Burma), “The Golden Land,” monasteries and meditation centres speckle the tropical countryside.
Isolated from the many distractions of modernity, it is home to one of the most ancient spiritual traditions in the world:
Theravada Buddhism. In the Theravada tradition, which is followed by over ninety percent of the Burmese people,
freedom is not pursued externally; rather the Theravada Buddhists devote themselves to finding freedom within themselves.
