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.
While monks are a very common sight in Myanmar, you can also see nuns everywhere, although to a lesser degree. They seem more modest, less outgoing, and in general, more dedicated to serving their religious function. According to a Burmese saying, an unfortunate event like the loss of a loved one or indebtedness, lead women to become nuns. Unlike monks, most nuns remain nuns for the rest of their lives. Burmese nuns, or thilashin, in the Theravada tradition, have to keep 10 precepts, shave their heads, and wear their easily recognizable pinkish-red robes.
