There is no administrative connection between Na-Uyana and Pa-Auk.
Na-Uyana does however teach the Pa-Auk method. When monks have finished the course or have shown promise to succeed or some other reason, they are often sent to Myanmar by Na-Uyana to get a new experience.

Na-Uyana also teaches other methods if requested. But Pa-Auk is preferred.
Ven Pa-Auk Sayadawgyi has been to Na-Uyana a few times and for maybe one year in 2007. That is the full story. There is nothing more to that.

Na-Uyana is famous because of Pa-Auk method. But maybe they would be famous for other reason had that not happened.

Pa-Auk and Na-Uyana both have dashes in their names because of double adjacent vowels that get pronounced. :grinning:
