Burma: Young Buddhist novices study inside a monastic school in a rural Burmese village. Photo by Max Henry Ferrars (1846-1933) and Bertha Ferrars (1845-1937), 1900. Buddhist monks collect alms - food prepared by devotees and laypersons who make merit by donating it - every morning in Burma and most Theravada Buddhist countries. This is their only food for the day. Monks do not eat after 12 noon. Legend attributes the first Buddhist doctrine in Burma to 228 BCE when Sonna and Uttara, two ambassadors of the Emperor Ashoka the Great of India, came to the country with sacred texts.
