Buddhist Monks: A Journey of Faith and Serenity In the enchanting land of Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, lies a profound spiritual tradition upheld by Buddhist monks. From the bustling streets of Ban-lo to the vibrant cityscape of Bangkok in Thailand, these revered individuals embody tranquility and devotion. At Wat Pho in Bangkok's heart, one can witness an awe-inspiring sight - young Buddhist monks engrossed in prayer within the main chapel. Standing on the pristine white walls of Hsinbyume Pagoda, two youthful monks hold red garments that symbolize their dedication to their faith. In Bagan, Myanmar's ancient city adorned with countless temples, young Buddhist monks gather before a majestic statue of Buddha to offer heartfelt prayers. On Taungthaman Lake near Amarapura in Mandalay region, novice monks row gracefully towards U-Bein bridge while birds soar above them. As they walk past Pahtodawgyi pagoda in Mingun town near Mandalay, these humble souls continue their journey spreading peace and wisdom wherever they go. Engaging in alms rounds or "begging, " they rely on the generosity of others for sustenance as a way to cultivate humility and detachment from material possessions. The Bassac River becomes alive with excitement during pirogue races depicted vividly in Atlas du Voyage d'Exploration de l'Oceanie et de l'Asie (Atlas of Voyages through Oceania and Asia). This captivating scene showcases how even amidst festivities, Buddhist monks maintain their composure and remain focused on their spiritual path. However, history reveals moments when Buddhism faced immense challenges. In a tragic event captured by photographs from c. 1880s, brave Buddhist monks burn down their own temple as an act of sacrifice for their beliefs. Their unwavering commitment serves as a reminder that faith knows no bounds. A procession unfolds before our eyes through another photograph from the same era, showcasing monks gracefully carrying fans.
