四名年輕學徒佛教僧侶在緬甸仰光最神聖的宗教紀念塔仰光的大金寺（Shwedagon）。
對許多緬甸男孩來說，進入僧侶生活是一個人生重要進程，他們大多數都只是當學徒僧侶幾個月（通常為100天），而不是終身奉獻。
緬甸有5300萬人，大約有50萬名和尚，學徒僧侶和修女。佛教徒大約佔人口的90％。
Four novice Buddhist monks hang out at Shwedagon Pagoda (temple) in Yangon, Myanmar’s most sacred religious monument.
Entering monkhood is a rite of passage for many Myanmar boys, although most of them spend a few months, typically 100 days, as young monks rather than making a lifetime commitment.
There are about 500000 Buddhist monks, novices and nuns in Myanmar, a nation of 53 million people. Around 90% of the population are Buddhist.
