Description

C´est une scène rare. C´est plus difficille de voir des nonnes boudhistes dans la rue, surtout pour accomplir le ritual de la quête de nourriture le matin. Dans d´autres pays de la tradition buddhiste Theravada, la plus ancienne ( Thailande, Cambodge, Laos, Sri Lanka), selon les cas, les femmes, mêmes quand elles vivent dans un monastère n´ont pas un statut de religieuses, comme en Birmanie. Elles sont des « renonçantes » qui avancent dans le chemin du Dharma. En Birmanie elles sont religieuses et ont leurs monastères. Les gens les attendendent au lever du soleil, avec de la nourriute. It is a rare scene. It's difficult to see Buddhist nuns in the street, especially to the ritual of the quest for food in the morning. In other countries of the Theravada Buddhist tradition, the oldest (Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Sri Lanka), women, even when they live in a monastery did not religious status, as Burma. They are "Thendara" that move through the path of Dharma. In Burma they are religious and have their monasteries. The people wait at sunrise, with the food.

So, these nuns depend on the local people for their daily needs. This is a facinating image telling me much I did not know. Thanks very much for this photo.

Avant le dodo ( 3h du matin et je travaille dans quelques heures !), un petit tour pour admirer et me laisser bercer d'émotions en regardant ce que je ne connaissais pas du tout , la vie de ces nonnes dévouées au Boudha. C'est très beau, et tu contribues à rendre certains ou certaines ici un peu moins stupides et matérialistes...dont moi !Merci et ...j'éteinds l'ordi c'est sûr , cette fois! :-)

Another great shot depicting the many esoteric traditions of countries forming the Asian continent. Your series, besides the excellent photography, has been most informative and enlightening. Well done, young lady!
