Description

Gagner des mérites pour la prochaîne encarnation est une des grandes preocupations des birmains Construire une pagode ( même minuscule, c´est pour ça qu´il a des millions partout), nourrir les noines, faire des offrandes danns les autels, balayer les temples, il y a une varieté infinie des formes Une d´elles consiste à acheter un oiseau et à lui donner la liberté Il y en a beaucoup de vendeurs près des temples et même en centre ville Les gens pratiques comme les ocidenteux diront que s´ils ne les achetait pas pour les liberer, ils ne seraient pas capturés, mis en cage pour être vendus C´est ne pas voir la poesie et la beauté du geste et de la vie J´adore libérer des oiseaux sans être punie Depuis enfant, mon pére avait horreur de voir des oiseaux en cage « Ils sont nés pour voler » et on les liberait en cachette Mais quand je faisais cela seule, surtout chez mes oncles ( fréres de ma mère) qui collectionnait des oiseaux chanteurs rares pour participer á des concours, les choses chauffaient de mon coté : -) Alors, j´avoue, je suis une grande acheteuse d´oiseux Tenir la petite chose fragile, palpitante et peureuse dans la main, l´ouvir et lancer l´oiseau pour qu´il vole est une sensation merveilleuse ! Pas seulement personne ne me punit maintenant, comme ils admirent ma grande religiosité ! En fait, je ne tient même pas aux mérites, la joie de libérer un oiseau aprés autre me suffit Mais en plus, mon acte, de pure plaisir, est trés bien consideré et je passe pour une personne sérieuse, trés religieuse, qui a cumulé beaucoup de merites ! Surtout, n´allez pas leur raconter la verité! Win and cumulated merits for the next reincarnation is a big busy for all Burmese Build a pagoda (even tiny, that's why there he has millions everywhere), feeding mons , make offerings for Buddha’s statues, temples sweep, there is an infinite variety of forms One of them is to buy a bird and give it the freedom There are many vendors near temples and even in the city center People practices like westerns say if the people don’t bought birds for free, they would not be caught, put in a cage to be sold This is not to see the poetry and beauty of the gesture and life I love released birds without being punished Since I as a little girl, my father had horror of seeing birds in a cage "They were born to fly" and we released in secret But when I was doing it alone, especially among my uncles (brothers of my mother), which collected rare songbirds to participate in competitions, things cn be hot to me! So, I confess, I am a big buyer of birds Hold these fragile little things, thrilling and fear in the hand, open and launch the bird flies it is a wonderful feeling! Not only has nobody punished me now, as they admire my religiosity! In fact, I don’t want merit, the joy of releasing a bird after another is enough for me But in addition, my act, pure pleasure, is very well regarded and I pass for a serious person, very religious, which has accumulated a lot of merits! Please, don’t tell them the truth!

I bet the guy that cages the birds has a lot of bird feed at his house and when the birds are set free, they fly back to his place and hang out til the next time.

Fantastic image! Beautiful emotional sentiments behind the custom...as always, your stories and images are so interesting and beautiful and enriched with amazing emotional and Human touches. GREAT work and a GREAT presentation. The softer colors here are great, especially with the contrast of the red. Fantastic capture, full of dignity and a sense of emotional drama.

Il est fait dans l'Asie où jamais Budda est adoré. Grande photographie. J'ai à croire que les oiseaux ont un instinct d'autoguidage et rentrent au vendeur. C'est cependant une histoire et une tradition charmantes.

Good Karma and brownie points for you, but NOT for the guy catching the birds in the first place, as I hate seeing any animal caged ! Thanx for the insight & ~Cheers~ :o)
