Distro - Buddha in Myanmar 

A. Abbas 

Myanmar, previously called Burma, is a land where Buddhism blossoms, a country of countless pagodas, of nuns in pink and of monks in orange robes who flood the streets at dawn, begging for alms. The inhabitants of Myanmar practice all the rituals of Buddhism as in Thailand or Cambodia, with the difference that they can be seen, meditating for hours, kneeling in front of a statue of Buddha. Are they more spiritual than their neighbours?
