Myanmar - Meditation (Single)
DESCRIPTION
The Buddhist monastic school system in Myanmar (Burma) is an old education system with a very long history. During a visit of a very old monastery located in Yangon I also had the opportunity to see some meditating monks. They were quite relaxed and didn’t even feel bothered by tourists who took some pictures. In Myanmar, it is perfectly normal for people to go into monasteries for temporary periods. The people of Myanmar communicate in their own language, wear their own style of, pray in their own way, receive treatment with their own traditional medicines, and perform their own rituals remaining as Myanmar as possible in every aspect.
