Theravada Buddhist monk at Bago at the forest monastery (Myanmar)

Buddhism shapes completely the Burmese society. This Buddhist monk
belongs to the Theravada Buddhism , called on a very pejorative way,
the "small vehicle ". Théravada means " language of the ancient". Théravada
Buddhism is very strict and conforms itself solely to the teachings dispensed
2 500 years by Buddha and unaltered until now. This monk is one of the
strictest representatives and follower of the Théravada teaching. It is
possible for a foreigner to learn meditation in specialized centers or to
follow a teaching in a monastery. Ananda Travel Yangon helps you
freely to find a center of meditation or one
monastery.
