Monk faces
Being a social norm in this most devoted Buddhist country, all Myanmar males are expected to spend some monkshood during their adolescence and adulthood, as an accruement of merit. Those who chose to ordain for life pride themselves as devotees of Buddha, living in a serene and secluded life distant from the secular world, and earning prestige from the local community. On the other hand, hardship and poverty have given some no choice but taking shelters from monasteries and becoming monks.
