Burmese Buddhist
The Theravada Buddhist civilization of Myanmar — the builders of Bagan, Mandalay, and the Shwedagon Pagoda.
Myanmar's Buddhist civilization stretches back over a thousand years, with the Bagan period (9th–13th century) representing its golden age. Over 10,000 temples once dotted the Bagan plain — a devotional landscape unmatched anywhere on Earth. Burmese Buddhism blends Theravada orthodoxy with nat spirit worship, creating a unique sacred worldview.
