While staying at The Marriot Resort and Spa in Weligama Bay, Sri Lanka I had the good fortune of visiting The Meth Bo Sewana Meditation Center.

With around 70.2% of Sri Lanka’s population practicing Buddhism, it is deeply woven into the country’s soul.

No journey through this beautiful country would feel complete without sitting down for a conversation with a Buddhist monk and I was privileged enough to have one.

I was really ecstatic because I always wanted to visit a Meditation Center in Asia and here I was.

We met with the monk for a Question and Answer Session. We could ask any question that we wanted and it was really fascinating to listen to the question and then to the Monk’s responses.

Then we visited the garden and then enjoyed time with tea.

Then just as we were leaving I had the privilege of speaking to the Monk and he was happy to take a “selfie” !
