EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Myanmar, Burma, Wan-seeing" we are transported to the serene surroundings of a 15th or 16th century monastery. The image captures a mesmerizing moment as a novice monk stands before a massive wooden gong, ready to produce enchanting sounds that resonate through the hills and valleys. Dressed in his saffron robe, the young monk holds a wooden drumming stick high above his head. As he strikes the surface of the gong with precision and grace, its deep resonance fills the air, creating an ethereal symphony that reverberates throughout the ancient walls of Wan-seeing monastery. The symbolism behind this musical act is profound. It represents not only religious devotion but also serves as a call to prayer for fellow monks and devotees in Myanmar's Buddhist community. The large brass gong itself carries historical significance, serving as an instrument that has been used for centuries to mark important events and ceremonies within Buddhism. Surrounded by breathtaking scenery encompassing Loi Pan Yawn Hills and Shan Mountains, this photograph encapsulates both natural beauty and spiritual tranquility. It invites us on a journey into Myanmar's rich cultural heritage while offering glimpses into moments of religious music intertwined with daily life at Wan-seeing monastery. Through NP's lens from Discover Images by AWL, we are granted access to witness this timeless scene where tradition meets spirituality in perfect harmony.
