Nanda Moe Kye - 100 Myanmar Secrets You Should Know

( 1) Why did Ko Maung Kaley become Sein Beda?

Sein Beda's real name was Ko Maung Kalay. He was the son of Saya Pe, a monk, and Daw Ma Malay, a courtier, and was born in Mandalay in 1244, three years before the accession of King Thibaw.

His father was a highly respected military leader. He was awarded four military banners, a pair of (white) diamond shields, and a glass shield to be placed above the shield. He was also given the title of Nay Myo Kyaw Khaung and was given the title of Sisone Sha near Plaek. He was also given land to live in Mandalay.

Ko Maung Kalay was a gifted musician, and from a young age he was able to play the 12-stringed lute. He learned the art of seng from not only his father but also from master seng masters such as Saya Pe and U Kyaw Zan. He became a seng leader at the age of 16.

He soon came down to Yangon and met Ko Bo Sein, who would become the great Buddhist monk and drama teacher U Bo Sein. When he played the seng, Ko Bo Sein acted as the seng prince and danced, which was very popular with the audience. The two were of the same age and looked very good together. The two often danced together in the play (Sula Sambhava Maha Sambhava). In that play, Ko Maung Kalay played the tegyo on the tegyo...

Beda.. Da.. Who is expanding your box? He played songs like Beda... Midaw and others. His voice was very popular with the Yangon public. That is why they called him Daw Maung Kaley. When Ko Maung Kaley returned to Mandalay, his news spread even more. The Mandalay public, believing that he was the son of a Sein Seng worker, added a Sein in front of Beda and praised him. From then on, he became Sein Beda and the name Ko Maung Kaley disappeared.

( 2) What are the early signs of cancer?

Cancer is a disease that occurs when the basic cells in the body become abnormal and multiply uncontrollably. Cancer is the most dangerous killer of all time.

The most well-established causes of cancer are: prolonged exposure to chemicals, prolonged exposure to strenuous exercise, prolonged exposure to heat, prolonged exposure to strenuous exercise, excessive exposure to sunlight, repeated X-rays, exposure to radioactive materials, and heavy tobacco use.

If cancer develops, it is treated with surgery, X-rays, or radiation therapy. There are early signs that cancer is developing. If you present these signs...

1. Sores develop in the mouth, tongue, and around the lips, and the sores do not heal with any medicine.

2. A hard, painless lump appears on the chest, breasts, and other areas.

3. Bleeding from one of the vaginal openings.

( 3) What are the two types of meditation?

When contemplating a deceased body or performing meditation on the body, the ten (10) types of defilements are often developed. The ten (10) types of defilements are...

( 4) How did teachers view non-rhyme poetry?

The current of Burmese literature is flowing strongly. It has changed significantly from one era to another. Especially the form of Burmese poetry. It has deviated from the classical form of the past and has become a form of non-rhyme poetry. Writers also write and editors also add. Here I would like to present the views of great writers on the subject of non-rhyme poetry.

Writer U Yan Aung seems to be bothered by the non-rhyming poems. Therefore, he wrote the following response.

"Poetry"

It's not difficult.

Small sentences

About four, five, six lines

If you write it in the above order,

It is poetry.

"That's called poetry."

Similarly, the great writer U Thein Pe Myint said...

"I don't encourage non-rhyme poetry. I don't support it. I just don't like it. I thought about it. Why do people want non-rhyme poetry? They want it to be unique. The answer is that there's nothing else."

He said, "If Teacher Javana

“Poetry without rhyme has been popular in foreign countries such as Europe for a long time. This idea, or this disease, has only recently spread to Myanmar literature. We, as they say, are old-fashioned, backward, and we prefer traditional writing styles.”

He said it openly. Master Min Thuwan said...

“There is no rhyme in poetry. There is only free rhyme. Sound. Rhythm. If there is no rhyme or rhythm, it is not poetry. Free verse is mistranslated as free verse. In fact, it is not free verse. You can take rhyme freely. Free is mistakenly understood here as meaning “from” and “free”. And there is also a poetic license-a license of the poet.”

It was concluded.

(5) Which tribes appeared at the beginning of the Konbaung period?

The dynasty that established the Konbaung period was founded by King Alaung Min Daw. At that time, while U Aung Zeya was in the widower (Shwe Bo), the Ta Baungs emerged. These Ta Baungs were:

1. The flowers that are planted to prevent the rain from falling, the flowers that bloom in the rain,

2. The flame of the three furnaces will increase in intensity.

3. My daughter will steal.

4. Drinking lake in Shwebo North

The old man appeared again to drink.

5. The hunter is spontaneous.

You will shine brightly.

6. I will descend to Hintha.

I will fight Hintha with the hunter.

The rain and the wind

My mother planted the soil.

A little bit of a degree.

8. Each person carries a small basket.

We will follow you, Shwebo.

9. Golden lotus in the pond

( 6) What are the unbroken robes and the broken robes?

"The robe is a kathina, the temple is a talisman, and the alms are alms." As the Buddha said, the offering of the kathina robe is among the most noble gifts.

First, the robes that are not worn...

1. If you are wearing a double-layered robe,

2. If the monk says that one should wear these robes (Boma, Kya Phai Khaing, Jotika, President, etc.), and the robe is worn,

3. If you say, "Exchange the robe I have for money and lay the foundation for the house,"

4. If you are wearing a temporarily rented robe,

5. If the Kathin is laid with a robe that has been stored at the school before the Kathin is laid 6. If the Kathin is laid with a robe that has been sent to the school before the Kathin is laid

7. If the Kathin is laid on the same day as the Kathin, it is made up of five or more rooms, including large and small houses, and is not cut into pieces.

8. If you wear a kathina with robes that have been previously worn in the temple, or robes that have already been embroidered with the Kappabindu, the kathina will not be valid.

The robes of the Kathina

1. If you wear a new robe and a kathina

2. If you are wearing a robe that appears spontaneously without any signs,

3. If you spread the Kathina with a robe that appears spontaneously,

4. If you wear a robe that you did not rent,

5. If the Kathin is laid with a robe that has not been stored at the school before the Kathin day arrives. 6. If the Kathin is laid with a robe that has not been sent to the school before the Kathin day arrives, or if the Kathin is laid with a robe that has been sent to the school after the Kathin day arrives.

7. On the day of the Kathin ceremony, if the Kathin ceremony is held with a robe that is cut into five (or more) pieces, including both large and small houses, the Kathin ceremony is complete.

( 7) Who was the person who risked his life for the truth during the Konbaung era?

During the Kone Baung era, there was a man who risked his life for the truth. He was a minister who was often dismissed from his position and died in a lowly life because he spoke out boldly for what he believed to be right among the people who were following him.

He was U Bo Hlaing, the secretary of the king. He was promoted as the adopted son of King Mindon and the Queen of the North Palace. However, he was often demoted from his position because he always believed that what was right was right. At the age of 23, he disagreed with King Mindon and once, after the assassination of the Prince of Kanaung, he said that the drink was like a bitter medicine and that drinking a little was not a sin, so he was demoted a second time. The third time, he was demoted because he dared to do it. The story goes like this...

Once, the king criticized the king for his misunderstanding, saying that if he appointed unskilled people as ministers and ministers, such as by giving them sisters, daughters, and gifts, the country would be ruined. At this, the king was angry and showed U Bo Hlaing the spear with which his father had killed the minister, and when he was about to stab him, he bowed his head and said, “Stab me, my lord.” King Mindon did not stab him, but went inside with the spear, and only because he was saved did he survive. The other ministers told the secretary U Bo Hlaing that he should not have been so harsh in his approach to the king, U Bo Hlaing’s reply was valuable. U Bo Hlaing said..

"It is better to die by stabbing me with a spear. If you follow the king's wishes everywhere, you will be left with a bad reputation, saying that if something bad happens, the kingdom will be destroyed. It is not worth dying for." Thus, he was dismissed from office for the third time because he did not follow the king's wishes.

( 8) Why are they boycotting the slave education system?

The British government’s support for the Rangoon University Act of 1920 by the White House government shows how oppressive the Burmese were. In fact, the education provided by the British government was not a true education that opened the eyes of the Burmese students and enriched their knowledge. It was not intended to produce educated young people who could lead the way for the betterment of Burma in the future. During the British administration, it was only a secondary education that was used to teach the people how to govern the country.

The Burmese youth and students, who wanted real education, were completely dissatisfied with such a unilaterally enacted University Act and protested against it. The Chancellor of the University, Sir Reginald Graddock, announced that the opening ceremony of the Rangoon University, which was to be held under the Act, would be held on December 1. Due to the outcry and protests from Burmese students and newspapers, the opening ceremony of the new Rangoon University was moved to Tuesday, December 7, 1921. However, it was too late.

More than 400 students from Yangon University and Judson College
