#myanmar #festival #buddhism • Theint is back. Today in this video, Theint will share about Kason Festival and Burmese Budddhism culture. • This Kason festival is another water-related event and it held just one month after Thingyan Water Festival. • Unlike Thingyan, we poured water to the specific trees, not to the people. • Kason full moon day falls in May in English calendar. It is the second month festival according to the Burmese Lunar Calendar. • The Kason festival is believed to be one of the most important festivals in religious life of Myanmar people. • On Kason Full moon day, you can see all over the Myanmar, men and women of all ages go to pagodas to participate in the water pouring ceremony at the Maha-Bodhi tree. • It is the holy Banyan tree under which the Buddha is said to have attained Enlightenment. • Since the the Kason Festival takes place at the middle of the hottest season, Myanmar people carrying water pots pour water at the Maha-Bodhi tree to make sure it will not die of drought. • Also, we believe that pouring water to the Maha Bodhi tree will bring you good luck during the year. • If you visit the temples or pagodas in Kason festival, you will see the long lines of people carry lots of water, Eugenia springs, and flowers. • People of all ages in Myanmar go to the pagoda pour water at the Maha-Bodhi tree. • Most of them hold the pots before the forehead, pray and pour the water into the tree. • They believe doing that will help the tree survive during the hottest month of the year and prolong Buddhism into the future. • The full-moon day of Kason is very important for Buddhism. • It marked T three- fold significance which is the Day the Buddha was born, the day He reached Enlightenment and the Day He entered Parinibbana which means death. • For those who are interested in Myanmar’s culture, especially Buddhist people, it is not-to-be-missed chance to discover its unique spiritual culture through this biggest Buddha Day. • It would be great if one can visit Myanmar, especially Yangon on this occasion. • Location : Shwe Dagon Pagoda • Music : Steven Beddall - Heavenly Mellow • Southern Call - Break My Fever • Ge Filter Fish - Look at her Go • Myanmar influencers will inform you in detail and kindly about life, culture, tourist attractions, food, etc. in Myanmar. • Contact : [email protected]
