May 2012 I’m off to retreat for a few weeks with Sayadaw U Tejaniya, a Burmese monk and teacher. I tried to practice with him a few years ago and he was unable to come to the US that time. Will be good to get to be on the side of silent meditation practitioner after doing a lot of teaching this year! Here is some info on his style of teaching  http://sayadawutejaniya.org/teachings/
