Young novice

Posted by Helen (Melbourne, Australia) on 1 March 2007 in People & Portrait.

In Myanmar Buddhist boys aged between 7 and 13 enter the monastery as a novice for a period of a few days to a few months. This young novice was looking out of the oval window of the teak Shwe-Yan-Pyay monastery near Inle Lake.
