BUDDHIST MONKS IN BURMA REPRESENT THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF SOCIETY AND ARE RECOGNIZED AS
SONS OF BUDDHA
" BURMES MONKS ARE ABOUT HALF A MILION "
THE NUNS, ABOUT 75 THOUSAND, WEAR PINK AND, SOMETIMES, YELLOW: THE COLORS OF DAWN
AFTER WAKING UP AT DAWN AND BEGGING, THE MONKS SILENTLY LINE UP TO RECEIVE THEIR DAILY MEAL
THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY AT 11 IN THE MORNING
A MONK CANNOT POSSESE ANYTHING BEYOND THREE CASSOCKS, A CUP, A RAZOR, A WATER FILTER, AN UMBRELLA AND A BOWL FOR ALMS
