Info

US$ 3. Trip duration is comparable to bus. There is a direct flight now from Bangkok to Mandalay, but it is considerably more expensive than the flight to Yangon. The flight from Yangon to Mandalay is about US$ 110 and takes 1 ½ h. The airlines Air Mandalay and Yangon Airways are reliable and can be recommended. Climate: Sagaing in Central Burma has rather extreme temperatures. March, April and May are not recommended because temperatures can be 40 °C and higher. From June, it is monsoon. However, it is moderate. It lasts until about September. Best time to go, when it is dry and cool, is between mid-October and mid-February. Then you will definitely need a jacket in the evenings. Lodging: Quarters can be built only after sufficient financial support has been raised. There are plans for a building with single rooms (including bath and toilet) on the ground floor and a hall for lessons and lectures above. Currently lodging can be arranged on demand. There are also plans for very beautiful bamboo huts for students who want to stay longer and live in a meditative and monastic atmosphere. Food: None as yet. The plan is to provide simple vegetarian meals and evenings, self-catering. Medical care: Through Ayudana hospital in the Sagaing hills (see Sitagu Intl. Buddhist Academy). Costs: The center is founded and run exclusively on the Dana principle. If you wish to support the project financially and perhaps want to give cash, finance a telephone line, a bamboo hut, or donate in other ways, please contact Theravada AG, E-mail: theravada@dharma.de. Buddhist books (preferably in English) or original texts (in Pali, Latin script) are also very much appreciated. 66
