The face-washing ceremony of the Mahamuni Buddha, authentic Poy Sang Long in Myanmar, Poy Sang Long novice ordination, authentic Myanmar tradition. The Poy Sang Long tradition or novice ordination ceremony I encountered in Mandalay is held on the opposite side of the Irrawaddy River from Mandalay city, on the way to Mingun. I also found the Poy Sang Long tradition in Ton Ywa town. Someone told me it is a Burmese tradition, not Shan. I think the Poy Sang Long ceremony includes both Burmese and Shan ethnic groups, not only Shan people. The Poy Sang Long tradition.
During the Poy Sang Long novice ordination, the novice boy stays on a beautifully decorated ox-drawn cart. Older novices, whom I am not sure if they are ordained monks, ride horses. They parade in processions through various villages, not just to the temple, but through villages for several hours. What impressed me was seeing the oxen dressed very beautifully, live music played on the cart, and Burmese clowns dancing and asking for donations to support the merit-making event.
At every village they pass, sweet water is offered. The community works together very well. Today, Poy Sang Long is celebrated in many regions of Myanmar, not only in Shan State. In Thailand, it is held in Mae Hong Son and northern Thai areas. The novice boys dress like princes, modeled after the Buddha before his ordination. mr.Hotsia Enjoyable Travel February 2015 Book hotels in Mandalay now.
