One of my favorite places that Tammy and I visited while in Mandalay was a Buddhist monastery, a space flourishing with a profusion of monks and novices. We arrived around noon when they were congregating for the second and final meal of the day. (Their first meal happens in the early morning, and there are only two meals per day at a monastery.) Many of the photos in this post I shot while at that particular monastery, but Buddhist monks and nuns are ever visible throughout the panorama of daily life in Myanmar.
Monks must live here:
