Mahagandayon Monastery

Mahagandayon Monastery is 11 kilometers from Mandalay, in the former Burmese capital of Amarapura. Around 10 in the morning over 1000 monks who live in the monastery come out to receive food from donors. Everything is planned, the monks are standing in 2 rows, volunteers distribute the food, the dining rooms are filled and they eat at the same time. It seems like a ballet. This monastery is not known for its buildings, but it is striking how big it is. It seems like a city with its schools, prayer rooms, places for the monks, laundry rooms, streets, etc..
