Buddhist meditation – Myanmar

This picture has been taken in a buddhist monastery where I spent the night in the surrounding of Inle lake in Myanmar. The young novice monk of the picure was performing his morning meditation before having his first meal of the day at 6h30 in the morning. He would then go begging for food in the village next to the monastery where he lives and have the second and last meal of his day around 11am. The rest of his day would be dedicated to meditation and learning buddhist precepts.
