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.

Freedom of Religion
Freedom of religion is practiced in Myanmar. although a majority (some 89.1%) are Buddhists in Myanmar. But Myanmar seems democratic that Buddhism is not defined as the official religion of the country. like most Islamic countries does.
