Myanmar monks and nuns
Hello everybody! Today I will show you the monks and nuns from Myanmar.
There are a lot of Buddhist monks in Myanmar. Many go there because of religion. Another part of the monks become them because of poverty - monks are never hungry. Local residents regularly give them food and money.
The main part of the alms is rice. It is put in such pots.
Begging is a tedious task. Therefore, locals often bring out chairs and give water to the monks.
And this is how the monks go for alms. The road is long, so they have a rest.
The nuns also collect alms. But they have pink clothes.
Everyone tries to give at least a little. This is believed to improve karma.

I didn't know that there are Buddhist nuns.
I don't know much about Buddhism. Sure, it's present in western societies too, mostly thanks to John Lennon who popularized it in the previous century, but the western version is a bit different than the original. I have a lot of curiosity though, so I envy you that you could meet the real monks and talk with them :) Great job!

Thanks! I have been to Myanmar 4 times, 3 of them lived part of the time in a meditation center. Someday I will tell you more about this))
I have never been to Myanmar and I always feel unhappy about this fact. Probably, the most preserved country in SEA.
Nice reportage Victoria.
Thanks! Someday you will definitely come there!
Impressive, I like to see the happiness in people's faces! :)
