Some of these monks live in this village and some do not but they all showed great compassion for the western monk in their midst for the pagaoda dedication.  From left to right: U Panyawara from Rangoon, U Kosalla (my preceptor) from Kusalakiri Monastery in Fremont California, Pokoku Sayadaw from central Burma, Kamon Sayadaw who took me on an ox cart ride through this region, and two attendant monks.
