Monastic life has a very impregnated meaning in Burma, now called Myanmar. The Buddhism small vehicle is at the crossroads, at the bend of alleys, houses and pagodas that are legion. The majority of society is Buddhist. Everyone is imbued with it from the earliest childhood, every Buddhist experiences it. The Pagodas and the Monastery besides places of spirituality are places of life open to the world, and the living.
Joy of life is present as much as spirituality and the search for self in connection with the whole, in an inseparable way. Anchored in reality. Everything is mixed, humans, fauna and flora. Inner freedom for the sake of human development is what we meet there at every moment. From the ceremony of entering the Monastery to everyday life, this is the journey I propose to you here.
