Would you still go in Birma (myanmar) to become a renoncant (Monk)


Would you still go in Birma (myanmar) to become a renoncant (Monk)?
Would you go in this day and age , to live among the Buddhist monks (theravada) I wish to renonce to this world and its the only place they really accept foreigners , also the population support the monk there , like old days. I do not know where else I could go , if you know monks , have contacts , information and so on , It would be greatly appreciated. A place where we collect food with the bowl , and all that Siddhartha accepted

Burma is dangerous. You might check out Sri Lanka instead. They are Theravada and accept foreigners, and if you stay out of the north and east and the capitol itself, it;s pretty safe. They don't do the begging bowl, but they are supported by the people. If interested, you could contact Ven. Piyananda at Dharma Vijaya in Los Angeles. http://www.dharmavijaya.org/
