✨ The aim of the Fourth Noble Truth (the Noble Eightfold Path) is to realize the Third Noble Truth (Nibbàna), which is achieved only by fully realizing the First and Second Noble Truths (Suffering and the Origin of Suffering). — Pa-Auk Tawya Sayadaw ✨

Today I learned from one of our PhD students from Myanmar that they don’t have a surname. In her culture people all have individual names, typically beginning with a name chosen by their parents that starts with the same first letter as the day of the week they were born, to correspond to their horoscope.

She therefore knew exactly what day she was born, while the two New Zealanders in the room had to look that up on our calendars.

The link below has some more about it. Also notable are that “Burmese women generally do not change their name at marriage” and “Burmese people may also change their name at any point in their life.”
