Description

Bon, je ne vais pas vous montrer 200 photos de la Procession Fluviale ( quoi que...) mais vous donner une idée de cet événement grandieux. Vous avez vue la Barge Royale, qui porte les Bouddha Sacrées, mais il y a des milliers de barques, petites, grandes, moyenne, sur le Lac Inlé. Les plus belles sont les barques d´apparat, qui accompagnent la Barge Sacré, avec ces centaines de rameurs. Maintenant, imaginez tout ce monde que se déplace de 5 heures du matin jusqu´à 5 heures du soir sur les eaux tranquilles du lac, va d´un temple à l´autre. Les gens avec leurs plus beaux vêtements, les minories ethniques dans leurs vêtements typiques. C´est un des événements le plus féeriques que je vu de toute ma vie. Sur terre il y a un festival avec presque une ville montée, avec toute sorte d´artisanat, souvenirs, objets religeux, une énorme foire. C´est difficille à croire que dans un monde où tout et tout le monde devient pareil d´un pays à l´autre une tradition comme cela survivre encore. Ok, I will not show you 200 photographs of the River Procession (in fact, maybe…) but to give you an idea of this enormous event. You saw the Royal Barge, which carries Holly Buddhas, but there are thousands of boats, small, large, average, on the Inle Lake. The most beautiful are the Honnor Boats, who follow the Holy Barge, with hundreds of oarsmen. Now, imagine all this world that moves sine 5 am to 5 pm across the lake, goes to one temple to another. People wear their more beautiful cloths, the ethnic minoritys their typical clothing. It´s one of the most fabulous events that I seen of all my life. In land there is a big festival with almost an assembled city, with any kind of handicrafts, souvenirs, religious objects, an enormous fair. It´s difficult to believe that in a world where all and everyone become the same in all countrys, a tradition like that to still survive. GOOD NEWS! OUR FRIEND RICHARD IMPROVES A LOT HIS KARMA. THE PHOTO YOU SEE WAS WORKED BY HIM. RICHARD ACUMULATED MANY MERITS FOR HIS NEXTS LIFES, WHICH IS THE MOST IMPORTANT CONCERN FOR BURMESE PEOPLE.

Je me souviens d'un reportage TV sur cet événement, cela m'a fasciné!!! C'est effectivement un moment unique et magique où l'in perçoit très nettement la chaleur de ce peuple.
