Description
In Myanmar (formerly called Burma), all boys go to a monastery for a period of time to be educated in Buddhism and trained as a monk. This is not necessarily the beginning of a lifetime of service, but a traditional part of their upbringing and religious education. This boy monk was at a monastery in a rural area of Myanmar.
