A Visit To The Shwedagon Pagoda

(Still crowded, and crowded at the pagoda platform whether it rained heavily or under the bad weather.) People visited to the Shwedagon Pagoda frequently. Paying respect at the foot of the pagoda is one of the ways of Buddhist life. People crowded at the Pagoda platform every time we visited. Practice meditation, offering flowers, candles, incenses or colorful things, or walking on the pagoda platform mostly as keeping the Shwedagon Pagoda at the right side, or praying, etc that Buddhists usually do. (Watering stupa, and mythical symbol, at the birthday corner.) When I was young, I went to the Shwedagon pagoda with my friends the time final examination finished. We prayed, and wished for what we wanted at the foot of the pagoda. Surely we were wishing to pass the examination with distinction, or with credit. (We wish everything we want at the foot of the pagoda.) Today, I was going to ...

A Visit to Moe-Kaung Pagoda Festival

(From the 21st December to the 31st December 2018, Moe-Kaung Pagoda Festival was held.) Moe-Kaung pagoda at Yankin township, located in the northern part of Rangoon, where the pagoda festival was held in every December. As my grandma (Khin Myo Chit) wrote, ‘Every pagoda has an annual festival.’, this month is a month of Moe-Kaung pagoda festival. The festival stayed for a week, sometimes two weeks, so people could look forward to the days of enjoyment. (The place where the Moe-Kaung pagoda stands today. Seen behind the busy road, and trees.) The locality is a busy road with daily traffic and people around. There was a large estate of Moe-Kaung monastery near the Moe-Kaung Pagoda. Monks and lay devotees always care and do maintenance for the Pagoda. The season festival on every December always takes place in the Moe-Kaung pagoda ground. So, there were trade fairs, and colourful goods from all over the country were seen in the place at the festival. (Dried-fish.) Moe-K...

Novitiation Ceremony

(Shwedagon Pagoda.) Today I went to the Shwedagon Pagoda with my aunt, and paid respect at the foot of the pagoda. Before we left I saw a long queue represented the showing of the novitiation ceremony. It was one of the traditions of giving respect. Everybody around was excited to see them, and could not help saying ‘Well done’ three times. (The first lady carried a tray of offerings; green coconuts with a long stem, bananas, Thapyay (Eugenia) leaves, and colorful things (the eternal items in all family rituals) on her head. She played a very important part in this ceremony. The tray seemed heavy! (Look at her face!) (A strong man should do it instead of her! I think.) (Girls wore, and act as county style.) (They did not care the hot sun.) (The old lady might be a head of the family; grandma or mother of one of 'becoming monks') (They are 'becoming monks'.) (Men with Khaung Paung (Man Wearing Burme...

My Life Will Go On, The Picture of Junior Win by Junior Win

(The Front Cover - My Life Will Go On, The Picture of Junior Win, by Junior Win.) My book, ‘ My Life Will Go On, The Picture of Junior Win’ was published on July of 2018 from Moemaka publication, Burma. This book was renew edition, and updated publication of the first one; ‘My Life will go on’ in 2013. I was feeling about the book that I was talking my life as Mock Turtle that was talking nonsense while crying to its listeners including me although we were laughing at him . By the way, my readers will see my life as I was born to be a writer, beggars cannot be choosers, and also as a writer (no more, no less) picturing myself as much as an artist could paint. (The Back Cover of the book) All the full-illustrations in ink by my twin brother, Maung Yit, an cartoonist whom I asked for all the fillers of my book. My readers must familiar with this book if you read regularly all the serial articles of My Life Will Go On in my blog. But you will ...

Retold Version and Original Novel

(When I was a young reader, my grandparents bought many retold versions of popular classic for us to practice our reading.) I was familiar with the retold series or simplified texts which provide a step-by-step approach to the joys of reading for pleasure and a wide variety of enjoyable reading material for all learners of English. Those retold versions of popular classic and contemporary titles, as well as specially written stories, published at five or six levels such as from the beginner to the Upper. About 300 or 600 basic words for the beginner and about 2500 to 3000 words for the Upper or Advanced. When I was a young reader, my grandparents bought many retold versions of popular classic for us to practice our reading. They also explained some difficult words in the story. So, we understood the story very easily. My grandparents said those series would one day turn our desire to read the original novels and improve our reading skill. I did not understand at that...

‘Her Infinite Variety’

The Irrawaddy is the principal river of Burma running through the centre of the country. It is the most well known and the longest in Burma. It formed in the north by the confluence of the two rivers Mayka and Maylika (also known as Nmai Hka and Mayli rivers) at the Kachin state. The western branch, the river Mali(Malika) is rising in the hills near the northern border of Burma and the eastern branch, the river Nmai Hka (Mayka) in northern Burma rises in the Languela glacier and flows generally south, joining the Mali River to form the Irrawaddy River. We love to see the rencontre of the two rivers. We call it 'MyitSon' (la rencontre de deux rivieres). Although I could not have a chance to visit MyitSon, I felt that the stream in the river Irrawaddy represents Nmai Hka and Mayli. The Irrawaddy provides the main means of communication between important points in the interior and the southern port cities, especially Rangoon. When I learnt geography at school, t...

A Day at the Monastery or Sayadaw U Vinaya's 101th Birthday

(A statue honoured Sayadaw U Vinaya, seemed a real Sayadaw looking at us.) Today was the 30 th of August 2015, the full moon day of Wah-khaung in Burmese calendar. It was the day Sayaday U Vinaya’s 101th birthday. The ceremony for Sayadaw’s bd was held at Sunlun Meditation Monastery at 7 th miles. I was told that there were 15 monks attended the ceremony, and people could donate anything they wished to the monk. Some prepared 15 yellow robes, or towels, or medicines, or books, or kyat-notes, or etc. I was happy to think what I was going to offer on that day. Finally I was decided offering my book “A Memory of My Grandparents” to each of the monks at Sunlun monastery. In the early morning of 6:00 A.M, people were waiting at the hall in the Sunlun monastery. Sayadaw U Wara who was the head of the Sunlun Meditation Centre, with the monks attended to the hall where we were waiting...
