Buddhist Novices

Begging for Alms.


When traveling to Burma and seeing this large amount of novices the question is why? This is not only a dedication to Buddha it has a other reason and that is a social one. The fact is Myanmar is an extremely poor country without any kind o social hammock. 

What are the people doing who fall off the grid? Who are orphans, old people, invalided or anyone in the direction? There is no place to go, only the monastery can look after them. Although the living is not as easy but at least they can survive.
