From 4.30 am when I got up to meditate right through until I went to bed at 9 pm. There was always something to do with every hour. I liked listening to music on the radio. I would look forward to continuing with the books I was reading and, of course, meditation was very calming and strengthening. But I did them regularly after meditating.
Burmese society is very male-dominated.
People keep asking me about women's rights and I always find it a little difficult to answer because the men in Burma have no rights either. Women are particularly discriminated against. It is clear that women do not get what they deserve. There are very few women in the Civil Service, for example. You see very few women in high positions.
