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 can undestand and i know this "ritual" but i can't stand from feeling very angry by the idea to catch the creature to let it free. it just should live in peace, shouldn't it? don't we do enough harm to the world? why has really everything to be tortured because of strange ideas?

Yes, birds were born to fly, not sit in cages as hopeless captives...wonderful story and image !

I once paraphrased a religious instruction to "Are not two Sparrows sold for one Sidewinder?" Setting free a "bird" from your Phantom may bind you to a different master than this geture of yours. I am reminded of Noah and the raven, or was it a dove?

The culture is so diff. I know the Bible have birds in it for Jesus clear up the temple and they had birds there for sell. It have to do with the Jews. I did not study this part about the birds in the Bible too good so forgive me on the story of the birds in the Bible. I know this is a diff religious than what Jesus was. You bought us what these people do in life. and this is wonderful. Guess after what I wrote and looked at your photo I thinking of the Ark when the bird was released and it fly away but came back with a olvie branch to the Ark[first book in the Bible]. I can not spell his name and no Bible with me to look it up lol. But I tell this for maybe this is where this have started on the released of birds??? I do not know just guessing

You may think you are merely releasing these birds from captivity by buying and then releasing them. But perhaps you ARE gaining more then you think by releasing these souls .. A beautiful picture, and a wonerful telling of your memories, and what the picture is about.
