Sadly a very unpleasant experience
Wat Pa Tam Wua的点评
点评：I would give Wat Pa Tam Wua 5 stars if I was only reviewing its beautiful grounds and lovely, kind monks.
There are other aspects to it though and my experience this year was very different from the one I had a year ago, sadly , not a pleasant one. The Asian ladies who seem to be running it now (and unlike the volunteers from last year), were quite unfriendly, at times aggressive, sometimes rude when dealing with us. At times me and others felt like we were in a reformatory. Sadly I also felt that this attitude was pretty much directed towards westerners.
I observed someone being watched and told to clean again a perfectly cleaned floor, someone else being transferred from a double room to a dormitory as what I gathered to be a punishment for being late to a meditation session, I personally was sternly told of twice, once for laughing aloud in the room at night despite explaining it wasn’t me, another for ‘…interrupting their work…’ as I asked for help when injuring my foot.
Quite frankly, none of this would be that important for me anywhere else;
in here though, where kindness love humility and compassion are supposed to be the basis of all, it felt deeply wrong and uncomfortable. I guess that having recently finished a retreat at Wat Chom Tong where I experienced only kindness, respect and generosity made it all more noticeable in comparison.
I certainly used these ‘not so positive’ experiences to further my Vipassana practice nevertheless it just didn’t feel right and I was happy to leave this time.
The other thing I noticed is that a lot of the white clothes we were given were unwashed so … I’d strongly suggest you take your own.
Ok so, the past is gone, right here right now and on a positive note: the only certainty is that nothing stays the same, that impermanence is the norm so …I’m sure it’ll be different next time. 😊

翻译：如果只评价Wat Pa Tam Wua寺美丽的寺院环境和和蔼可亲的僧侣，我会给它五星好评。
然而，寺院还有其他方面，我今年的经历与去年截然不同，令人遗憾的是，并不愉快。现在似乎由几位亚洲女士管理（与去年的志愿者不同），她们态度很不友好，有时甚至咄咄逼人，有时对我们很粗鲁。我和其他人有时感觉自己像是在感化院里。令人难过的是，我感觉这种态度似乎主要针对西方游客。
我看到有人被监视，并被要求重新清洁已经干净的地板；另一个人因为冥想迟到而被从双人间转移到宿舍，我猜测这是对他们的惩罚。我自己也被严厉训斥了两次，一次是因为晚上在房间里大笑（尽管我解释说不是我），另一次是因为我脚受伤寻求帮助时被指责“……打扰了他们的工作……”。
坦白说，在其他任何地方，这些对我来说都不算什么；
然而在这里，在一个以仁爱、谦逊和慈悲为一切基石的地方，却让我感到深深的不适和不自在。我想，或许是因为我最近刚在Wat Chom Tong寺结束了一次静修，那里只有仁爱、尊重和慷慨，所以这些感受才显得格外刺眼。
我当然会利用这些“不太积极”的经历来加深我的内观修行，但感觉就是不对劲，所以这次我很高兴能离开。
我还注意到，我们拿到的很多白色衣服都没洗过……所以，我强烈建议你自带衣服。
好了，过去的事就让它过去吧，就在此时此地。往好的方面想：唯一确定的是，世事无常，无常才是常态……所以，我相信下次一定会不一样。😊
