Myanmar is one of the most devout Buddhist countries in the world. About 90% of the people in Myanmar are Buddhist. It is estimated that about half a million monks live in Myanmar.
Men are supposed to enter the monkhood twice in their lives, once as a novice aged between 10 and 20, and once as a fully ordained monk any time after their 20th birthday. Often the young novices start their monastic life at the age of nine or ten. Stamp
