Myanmar Water Festival 2011


Myanmar official religion is Buddhist. Water festival is one of the most important and popular ceremonies for Buddhist in Myanmar.

They always hold this important Buddhist religious ceremony on April 12 to 16 every year. It is 6 days ceremony. For them, It is washing away all their sins that they had made for the whole year. It is almost like baptism for Chiristian believers. But for us, baptism is a sign of the inner change.

The truth is that our sins canno be washed away by water. If it can wash, we will not need God's help anymore. Water is only useful to wash away the dirties on our body. It's nothing to do with our spirit.
