Description
En Birmanie, tous les hommes passent plusieurs séjours au monastére au long de leur vie. Tois jours, trois mois, trois ans... Pendant ce temps ils sont moines et doivent obéir aux regles. Apres, ils reviennent à la vie laique.
La permière fois c´est vers 7 ans, quand ils rentrent au monastère pour une retraite de trois mois. C´est comme la premiere comunion chez le catholiques. Cela donne lieu a une grande fête, avec un cortege plus ou moins sompteux selon la famille. Le garçon est habillé en Prince, comme Bouddah, il est toujours porté, ses pieds ne doivent pas toucher terre.
Une fois au monastère, on lui rase la tete et il prend la robe de moine, simbole du renoncement aux biens terrestres. La procession est encore faite en char a boeuf, trés decoré et tous les participants sont habillés comme la famille royale. Les soeurs et filles de la famille s´habillent en princesses et reines
Avant d´aller en Birmanie, j´avais beaucoup lu et rêvé sur tous ces rituels “Il faut être réaliste, cela doit être de plus en plus rare et difficilement va coincider avec mon passage au meme lieu Ça m´étonnerait beaucoup que je réussisse à voir un Shin Piu !”
J´étais en Birmanie seulement depuis quatre heures quand j´ai vu mon premier, magnifique, au temple de Shewadagon J´étais émerveilée! Quelle chance! Heureusement que n´ai absolument rien de blasé, sinon, quelques jours après, je dirais “ Oh, encore um Shin Piu barrant la route” ; -)) Je les ai tous accompagnés, été invitée par la famille à participer
Comment voulez-vous que je ne sois amoureuse folle d´um pays pareil?
In Burma, all men spend several visits to the monastery throughout their lives. Three days, three months, three years ... Meanwhile they are monks and must obey the rules. After they come back to normal life.
The fisrt time is around to 7 years, when they entry to the monastery for a three-month retirement. It's like the first communion for Catholics. This is the opportunity to made big party with a procession sumptuously, more or less depending on the family. The boy is dressed as Prince, like Buddha, it is still, his feet never touching the ground.
Once at the monastery, he shaves the head , put out prince dress and takes the robe of monks, symbol of renunciation of material goods. The procession is still made in a buffalo chars, very decorated and all the participants are dressed as the royal family. The sisters and daughters of the family dressed as queens and princesses
Before going to Burma, I read a lot and dreamed about all these rituals "I must be realistic, it should be increasingly rare and difficult will coincide with my visit to the same placeand I am very surprise that I succeed seeing a Shin Piu! "
I was in Burma since only 4 hours when I saw my first, magnificent Shin Piu at the Shewadagon Temple I am amazed!! What luck! Fortunately I don’t have notjing of “blasé”, if not, a few days after, I would say "Oh, another Shin Piu still blocking the road"; -)) I follow all I have meet, been invited by the family to participated and be honor guest
How do you want I don’t fall in love for a country lie this?
