Meditation: More practice on Anapana and Metta is required on my part. After a short while doing Anapana, I burp due to a lot of gas inside my body. At other meditation retreats, I get complaints about the noise from the burg. I did not hear of any complaints at this retreat
Environment: The environment is very conducive to meditation. This is especially so in the Sima

Hall.
Food: The food is wonderful. I take fruits before meals, following the Enzyme factor by a Japanese professor.
Vinaya Rules: Gives me a better idea of what is expected and what is not expected of a Bikkhu. Some of these are not found in books.
Pindapata. The support from the people at the markets is very encouraging
Congratulations on a job well done. Many thanks to all the organisers and helpers.

A big thank you to all & may all be blessed with happiness & joy, good health & shared all merits throughout these retreat.
Time flew by so fast, that unknowingly, I was in for this retreat as a Bhikkhu for 9 days.
These past 9 days, I was blessed with some of the experience that never happened before, especially in the meditation.
Though there were some disruption at the main hall, during the morning session, I overall joyful & had a wonderful insight bliss.
For the dhamma talk, we shared with teachers the VINAYA RULES & SUTTAS, very fine in knowledge & wisdom & enlightening to me.
In future, I believed if there is a chance, I would continue to join & support this program.
My comments , the committee is short handed & time table need to reschedule to enable participants to break & may be walking mediation would also coupled in.
Rules to restraint participants from TALKING & bring in mobiles phone should be observed.
Announcement to all before entering & must check strictly.
Thanks

Bhikkhu Sumana 的感言:
朴素的森林式出家人生活，非常好的体验。
朴素的森林式出家人生活，非常好的体验。
放下世间一切问题后，感受到身心的不同。
更加了解禅修的方法和重点，对以后的禅修有很大的帮助。
Bhikkhu的戒律对各人的品行有益，可以用在家里和社会上（戒律生活化）。
特别的pindapāta 感受，面对着各样的眼光，对佛陀当时的情况有所体会。

When we eat a sweet in our mouth,slowly the sweet taste dissolves and then disappears; no more sweet taste in our mouth. We then forget how sweet the taste was. Similarly now we are still experiencing the dissolving sweet taste of renunciation ( although I have disrobed ). I can still appreciate how good, how wholesome, how meritorous the monkhood life. When that sweet taste slowly dissloves and disappears, the appreciation might be at the back of my mind only. I will then be busy with worldly life again. Before that happen , I had to be mindful of Sila, Samadhi and Panna to stay on with Buddhism in Daily Life.
