Initiation of Novicehood and the Ordination of Monkhood in the Burmese Buddhist Culture

By: Sao Htun Hmat Win

This book is based on a case study of an initiation ceremony which took place in 1935 in the southern Shan States, today part of Burma. The initiation ceremony for a novice in the Buddhist Monastic order, followed by a longer or shorter period of residence in a monastery, is a traditional requirement for all Burmese Buddhist boys. The ceremony not only marks an important stage in the life cycle of the young novice and constitutes a culminating point in the life of the donors to the ceremonyâ€”usually, though not always, the parents of the noviceâ€”but it also provides an occasion for the fulfillment of an important community function. Part 1 describes the initiation procedures to enter the novicehood. Part 2 presents the higher ordination ceremony of Buddhist monks.
