MYANMAR

Myanmar (Burma) - Land of serenity and mystery, a seductive country with congenial people, rich culture, and stupendous architecture, situated on the most westerly point of the Southeast Asian landmass. From its sublime landscapes and rich history, to its serene people and deeply Buddhist culture, it is a destination like no other, offering the visitor a veritable treasure trove of wonders and delights unmatched in the world today. Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon and Bagan’s endless thousand-year-old temples stretching as far as the eye can see are two of the great man-made wonders of the world.

Myanmar is home to some of Southeast Asia’s best ancient architecture, much of which seems poised to be added in quick succession to UNESCO’s World Heritage list as the country continues to reform. The jewel in Yangon’s crown is the towering Shwedagon Pagoda, “a golden mystery...a beautiful winking wonder,” wrote Rudyard Kipling in 1899. The thousands of ancient temples scattered across the plains of Bagan rival Angkor in scale and ambition; Inle Lake is a unique water-based culture home to some 70,000 Intha people.

Despite modern changes and globalized cultural blending, Burmese people have been able to preserve their own lifestyles and activities that have existed since time immemorial. The Burmese people communicate in their own language, wear their own style of clothing, relish their own style of food, pray in their own way, celebrate their own festivals, receive treatment with their own traditional medicines, and perform their own rituals remaining as Myanmar as possible in every aspect.

Almost 90 percent of Myanmar's population practices Buddhism. Its two main branches are the Theravada and Mahayana doctrines. While Theravada Buddhism focuses on individual enlightenment, the Mahayana tradition seeks to bring salvation to all humans. One main difference between Mahayana and Theravada is that in the former, the Buddha of the future Meitrya plays a significant role and not in the latter, which focuses on the teachings of Gautama Buddha. A Buddhist monk, the Agga Mha Panditta Ashin Thittila put it this way
