Thanks for the added information Alaung

The link refers to a book and also a documentary that was made by a photographer and a cameraman, the later stationed in Macau and the former is an ex-resident.
Tolerance has always been the Eastern principle.

I have never been to Burma, but one of the Museum drivers is Burmese, and we sometimes talk a lot, although he does not know the Bayingyi. But I have been to Thailand often enough to love Thai people.

There's a book called Ou Mun Kei Leok, Memoirs/Registries of Macau done by two schollarly Mandarins of the 17th. century where they analyze the Portuguese in Macau and their habits.

Even in those days, Buddhist priests considered their catholic counterparts as colleagues while the later defined the monks as envoys of the demon.
So much for fundamentalism...
