On October 25th, fifteen members of a Burmese meditation group visited Prajna Forest Monastery. This group consisted of elderly gentlemen and ladies, with an average age of about 70. They arranged the day trip, renting a 15-seater van, and everyone shared the transportation cost specifically to visit Prajna Forest Monastery from Santa Cruz. As the group arrived and entered the Main Chan Hall, a feeling of joy flowed from their eyes. While Rita, our volunteer, went to retrieve more cushions—in this brief two-minute span—she was surprised to see the group have already settled themselves, whether seated on chairs or mats, and begun meditating. They sat in stillness for a full 20 minutes. They praised our Chan Hall for its tranquility, which allowed their minds to settle immediately upon sitting down. They shared that they practice meditation regularly. Rita deeply admired their diligence and their ability to seize each opportunity to meditate. The organizer explained that they belong to the Theravada Buddhist tradition. While they can speak Chinese and English, they cannot write either language. He would periodically search online for Burmese scriptures for them to study and chant. They also regularly follow a Burmese master in the Bay Area to learn meditation and organize one or two field trips a year. Our volunteer gave each person a walking stick and led them on a tour of the Yuang Tong Hall (the main building, small Chan Hall, and dining hall), the Pue Precept Hall and Pure Wisdom Hall (other dormitories). One lady among them was already 90 years old but looked barely 60—it was truly admirable! Later, Rita invited them up for tea and snacks, and they were truly delightful; group members happily picked up lollipops. Rita brought out all the available snacks to treat them, and they swept everything clean—the air was filled with happiness. As they departed, each person received a Buddhist mala as a gift of connection. Immense joy was felt that the Monastery could forge such a positive connection with them. Anyone can see from the pure clarity of their eyes the joy of learning the Dharma. Perhaps this is the natural expression of happy Buddhist cultivators, fueled by long term meditation!
