Dormitory


You could be a stranger with a camera (some with more) inside the monastery, but most often you are not unwelcomed, and this is one of the best thing traveling in Myanmar.  Here, you feel the true merit of Buddhism, everything and anything is accepted.
The monastery I visited this day was a seemingly modest but well built one, spacious, including the dormitory section.  Here you observe the simple living of a monk – in fact many monks, it might seem lack of privacy but then because the nature of Buddhism taught people with such respect to individual, you feel there is plenty of privacy.  Perhaps privacy is not a matter of groups or public, it is a matter of individual respect.
