Burmese nuns are a part of Burmese public life. Although not as numerous as monks, nuns cannot be missed with their distinct pinkish-red robes and straw hats.
They are supposed to carry out religious functions, in order to lessen the responsibilities of the mundane world. According to Theravada tradition, practicing Buddha's teaching should be carried out in two ways: studying Buddhist pariyatti (scriptures), and practicing patipatti (dhamma). Burmese nuns lead a simple life, with meditation and studying Buddhist scriptures. Nuns are active in education, mostly educating other, younger nuns in nunneries. Contrary to monks,they do not travel abroad for studying purposes, and unlike monks, they are not supposed to preach. Burmese nuns are often expected to carry out caring, domestic tasks, both for monks and in public.
