There are two branches of Theravada Sasana in Myanmar: Sudhamma and Shwe Kyin (Shwekyin). Sudhamma allows monks to handle money and it also allows scholar-monks eat dinner/supper. Shwekyin does not. The two have little argument. There are other branches of Theravada too.
The monks in my previous reply were from Shwekyin Sasana. Pa-Auk Sayadaw is also from Shwekyin.
