Hello my friends.
Again a shot of my wonderful time in Myanmar/Burma.

We had the great luck to see this ceremonie inside the marvelous Swedagon-Pagoda.

Each boy is visiting a monastairy two times in his life. First at the age between 5 and 15.
For the procession - the Shin Pu - the novice-consecration, the boy is dressed as a prince.
This is because of the life story of Buddha - before he became enlightened, he was Prince Siddhartha Gautama.
After the procession under the golden umbrellas they go to the monastary for some days. Their hairs will be shaved. The parents save the hairs in a white cloth at a special place in their house. They are very proud on this day - it was a special moment that we could see this and be a part of the ceremony.

And they were proud that we made some shots, they postured only for us, this was a wonderful moment. I will never forget.
