Myanmar Culture: Offering Food to Kayin Spiritual Lords

Описание: Worshipping traditional spiritual deities and offering food and other items to them are common practices in Myanmar. The country comprises eight major ethnicities, each with its own set of traditional spiritual deities. This video showcases the traditional ceremony of offering food to Kayin spiritual deities. Those familiar with Kayin friends may have encountered discussions about this ceremony.
The primary purpose of conducting this ceremony is to bring together relatives, sons, daughters, and family members who live in distant locations. The origin of this ceremony can be traced back to Phu Htaw Ka Lo, who imparted Kayin tradition and literature while caring for the Kayin people. Passed down through generations, this traditional ceremony aims to preserve the Kayin culture and prevent its extinction.
During the ceremony, all family members come together to share a meal filled with love and compassion. The event occurs at least once a year, and those with the means may hold it three times annually, while those facing financial constraints observe it once every three years without fail.
Although the joy of reuniting with family members during the ceremony is significant, the moment of bidding farewell and returning to one's own home, often in a different town, can be a poignant and melancholic experience.
