1968 - A Last Cigarette Before Becoming A Monk For A Week: A Burmese boy, dressed for the festival preceding his induction as a novice monk at the Monastey of Mongani, is carried around the village on the shoulders of his father. Both puff away at cigarettes. Tomorrow he will be seen on the streets seeking alms to maintain himself for the week of his studies with the monks. When A Buddhist Boy Enters A Monastery: In the remote Shan states of Burma, one of the great days of a boy's life is when he enters a monastery for a period of up to one week's ''induction'' into the 10 precepts of the Buddhist faith. Dressed up in traditional robes, with face powdered and stencilled with floral designs and wearing an intricate headdress, the cost of which is ofter contributed to by an entire family and their friends, he and any other boys about to enter novicehood are carried around the monastery on the shoulders of adults for all the village to applaud. To celebrate the occasion everyone contributes presents for the monastery. These gifts range rom mats and sools, to cutlery, waterpots, fans, slippers spittoons, betel boxes, tinned sardines, cigars etc. Music is provided by the quaint village band. Once the celebrations outside the monastery are over and the boys are taken in by the simple monks they are divested of their clothing and don the plain, simple robes of the novice. Almost at once their strict, disciplined training begins. Reading and prayers, the teaching of Gautema Buddha, the rules of Buddhist life - all are taught so that when the boy leaves he is considered a full member of the faith. While studying with the monks, the boys live a life which depends for food on hegging. Thus, out on the streets these temporary novice monks may be seen with their alms bowls reciting the scriptures and collecting for themselves. These pictures were taken during induction festival and ceremonies in the Shan village of Mongnai. (Credit Image: © Keystone Pictures USA/ZUMAPRESS.com)
