Q: What is the bird in the Sae Taw Win II logo all about? Where does it come from and what does it mean?
Dr. Thynn: The central image in the logo is a mythical bird, called Karaweik in Burmese. Please notice how the bird is also a barge traveling on a seemingly infinite ocean. On top of the barge there is a structure depicting a shelter. You might think of it as a Burmese Buddhist Noah's Ark " a safe vessel which takes passengers through the dark night on a mysterious ocean, to a fulfilling existence. Of course this is just symbolic imagery, but it is a good representation of my Guru's mission: to bring all beings together and make our way to the goal, which is Nibbana.
......Since Sae Taw Win II is an extension of my Guru's work, I decided to use the mythical bird as our logo.
