What travelers say:

Mahaganyan Monastery is one of the largest and most senior monasteries in Myanmar, with a history of more than 100 years and is home to thousands of monks. It is like a monastery university with nearly 2,000 students and is spectacular. The most famous of the monasteries is the "thousand monks' meal" carried out every morning. Every day at 10 am, tourists from all over the world gather to see the picture of thousands of monks having lunch together. The time has not yet arrived, and tourists have already stood in a good position to wait for pictures. On the way to the canteen, the monks, barefooted, walked out of their respective monk houses, mostly looking straight, calm, keeping the monks calm and calm, they were in a vast and solemn procession of monks, In the curious eyes of the tourists, orderly into the canteen to eat. Myanmar men must go out once in their lives, the number of times, the time can be short, some life as monks. More years, months, even a week or two. Generally, when boys arrive at 5--10, parents have to prepare for a home-making ceremony, which is very important for every family. The monks, large and small, all have low brows and eyes, do not squint, and ignore whatever donations are made. This is the true Buddha's heart.
