Daily Routine of a monk
 
AS a devoutly Buddhist country, Myanmar is home to countless monasteries. Every village, no matter how small, has at least one monastery where phongyis (monks) live. These monks are considered to be sons of the Buddha, who joined the order of
monks during his quest for nibbana, that eternal peace in which all human passions are stilled and the painful process of repeated rebirths comes to an end.
