Welcome To Myanmar

Mingalarbar from Myanmar. My name is Cho Cho Lwin and I am the Managing Director of Tamarind Travel.

Tamarind was created to fill a niche-to provide all of your travel needs in Myanmar, so that the only thing occupying your mind is the anticipation of the magnificent sites you will experience the following day. We have hand selected your itineraries, accommodations, guides, and dining establishments so that you can be assured that you are experiencing Burma without compromise.

If you are looking for a “cookie cutter” tour program, then Tamarind will not be for you. However, if you prefer a professional guided tour where quality and attention to detail is paramount, then please take a look at our carefully prepared programs. We are certain you will not be disappointed with Tamarind.

If you have any questions please feel free to e-mail us at tamarindtrvl@myanmar.com.mm

See you Soon...!
Cho Cho Lwin


Daily alms-giving

Monks go on their round for alms every morning barefoot. They stop outside the laymen’s houses. If someone comes out with alms, they would receive it in silence. If no one comes to make offerings, they would go on their way. Each house holder gives what he can; quality or quantity does not matter as much as the spirit in which it is given.
The Buddha allows monks to accept food sent to them at their own place. They can also accept invitation to laymen’s houses to partake of alms-food.
People who cannot effort to send alms-food to the monasteries or invite monks to their own houses, have a chance of gaining merit by making offerings to the monks on their daily rounds.
Monks consider it an act of compassion for poor people to go round on alms rounds.
Even people who can afford to invite monks to partake of alms-food in their own houses do not want to miss the daily alms rounds; for this kind of offering alms is considered more meritorious.
It is spontaneous alms-giving without any wish for show or ostentation. There is also a spirit of impersonal and impartial good will.
Yellow robed brethren of the Buddha’s order came single file in procession of ten or fifteen, their jet black alms bowls cradled in their arms. With downcast eyes they stopped one after another and silently opened the lacquer lids of their bowls to receive the alms-food.
Since we was young, we watched in awe and reverence as the staid yellow-robed figures walked silently away into the long shaded alley speckled with the mild rays of the morning sun.
