Near Mandalay, Myanmar is a Buddhist monastic college called Mahagandayon. Over 2,000 students, every day the monks, from the youngest to the oldest, put themselves in orderly and silent queues waiting to receive their lunch. It is a magical and mystical scene! Myanmar 2014

I love monks! They have strong will & well disciplined Simone. Jay Shetty said that they were taught to compete not in a bad prideful way but on how to love thy brothers and good acts... They practice good deeds.
It is true, they have a lot of discipline, will and good intentions. All this is perceived even by observing them
That must be so amazing that intense and mystical moment as you say! Not easy to see in other places...
I saw them in Nepal too, but in Myanmar there is just a total culture among the people, to follow religion. Even those who are not monks are still very devoted
This truly fascinated me, I didn't know that there are kids who wants to be a monk and that they are accepted already as a monk, So does this mean they live in the temple as well and just devote their time as a monk? they don't go to school? Hmmm... a bit puzzling for me. I love the color of their monk clothes.
They start from an early age, they study in monasteries and strictly respect all the rules and for life. Many of them are also cultured
Do they lined up on the street?
