The world's largest reclining Buddha, lying in a dense forest, is filled with incense. Why are tourists afraid to approach?

Different countries usually have different religious beliefs. Some people believe in Islam, some believe in Christianity ... and most people in Southeast Asia believe in Buddhism.

Myanmar is an ancient cultural country with a long history. This terrain is similar to bodhi leaves, and there are 135 ethnic groups on the land with an area of only 680,000 square kilometers. It also has precious historical and cultural heritage and charming natural scenery.

Buddhist culture is quite popular here, so Myanmar is also called "the country of Buddhism". Hinayana Buddhism is the national religion of Myanmar, and almost everyone in Myanmar believes in Buddhism.

Moreover, people here seem to have been building stupas all their lives, just to pray for Buddha's blessing. In addition, there are abundant products and jade articles here, so there are also unique jade pagodas in Myanmar, which are built by 1500 tons of jade.

If jade is too low-key, there is also a stupa in Myanmar-Shwedagon Pagoda, which is made of 7 tons of gold and inlaid with 7,000 diamonds. This is probably the most luxurious stupa in the world.

Looking around, there are many pagodas all over the country, shining in the sun, always blessing this beautiful country and people. Both visitors and local believers need to enter the stupa barefoot to show their respect and piety to the Buddha.

In fact, Buddhism is equally popular in China, but even different countries with the same religious beliefs will show different religious beliefs due to different historical and cultural differences.

For example, the Buddha statues in different countries are different in shape and size. Most of the Buddha statues in China are simple in shape, sincere and gentle, and most of them sit on a plate, solemn and solemn.

Myanmar Buddha statues are not only more diverse in shape, but also more colorful in color, and their images look more charming and realistic.

In addition, Myanmar Buddha statues have another feature, that is, most of them are prone. According to legend, the founder of Buddhism, Sakyamuni, died in a prone position when he was in nirvana. Therefore, most of the reclining Buddha sculptures we see today have this commemorative significance.

The reclining Buddha in Darron is located in the Doyle Forest in Wen Sheng at the southern tip of Mahlman, Myanmar. Built in 1948, it was rebuilt by a local monk.

The overall color of the Buddha statue is mainly red, white and black. The height of the giant Buddha is 34 meters, but its length is 180 meters. In terms of area, it can catch up with a small football field, weighing more than 400 tons. Up to now, there is no larger sculpture of the reclining Buddha in the world.

What's even more surprising is that there is an eight-story building inside this Buddha statue, with various Buddha statues and a memorial hall for eminent monks, which is really unique.

Because the Buddha statue is huge, it blends with the continuous mountains from a distance, and people can't tell the difference between mountains and Buddha for a moment. People say that "a mountain is a Buddha, and a Buddha is a mountain". I have to admire the designer's exquisite attainments!

The face of this giant reclining Buddha is also vividly portrayed: the eyebrows are slender, and the kind and peaceful eyes are reflected in the clear black eyes. This pair of phoenix eyes calmly stare at the sky, like meditation, like meditation; The curly and slender eyelashes stand clearly at the root, in sharp contrast to the slightly raised bright red lips, and the corners of the mouth are more like a smile that seems to be there.

The solemn white body of the Buddha statue is wrapped in a brick red cassock inlaid with Phnom Penh. The overall image is delicate and realistic at close range and magnificent at a distance.

Since its establishment, the Darron Sleeping Buddha has attracted tourists from all over the world, and countless Buddhist lovers have also come to worship. Temple incense is very prosperous, which greatly promotes the rapid development of local tourism and economy.

Strangely, when tourists really climbed to the top of the mountain and faced the giant Buddha in front of them, few people dared to see it. In addition, in such a tropical climate, the surrounding trees are lush and shady, and the atmosphere is even more gloomy and even inexplicable.

Some people say that this is because the image of the reclining Buddha is so realistic that even every eyelash can be seen clearly. And devout Buddhists tend to think that Buddha statues are alive and sacred. The reason why believers are afraid of the Buddha statue can only be said that his belief in Buddhism is not sincere enough.

I believe that many people have had similar experiences when offering incense in temples: facing the tall and solemn Buddha statues in temples, they always feel that they have some terrible power and even have awe of them.

But did the Buddha really "appear" as mentioned above? This statement does not seem entirely convincing.

In fact, psychologists often interpret this emotion as phobia. To put it simply, it is a natural fear when people face huge and unpredictable things. Coupled with the influence of some horror plots in the film and television dramas we usually watch, people often have various associations at this time.

However, Myanmar is definitely worth visiting. The streets here are surprisingly clean and tidy, and the air is full of cozy laziness. Due to the influence of Buddhist culture, people here are extremely friendly and enthusiastic.

Although it is not famous for the sea, many people don't know that Myanmar has such beautiful beaches. The long coastline is 2000 kilometers long, the sea water is as clear and transparent as turquoise, and the sunset is as intoxicating as the sunset in Miyazaki Hayao cartoons. Today, there are still many natural beaches that have not been artificially developed, and a nostalgic atmosphere is coming.

Whether walking on the beach in the sunset or wandering among the sacred pure white pagodas, you can feel the Buddha's light everywhere, as if your soul has been purified.

People's living standards here are generally not high, so prices are very low. From 20 18, Myanmar opened landing visa to China tourists. In addition, many Chinese here are descendants of the Expeditionary Force during the Anti-Japanese War, and Chinese is also popular here, so there is no need to worry too much about language problems here.

If you are a Buddhist youth, you might as well come here and enjoy the "slow life" you can't find. I believe that you will certainly reap the simplest happiness that belongs to you. Of course, don't forget to take a look at the reclining Buddha in Darron and feel the giant Buddha for yourself. Finally, I wish everyone who sees this Buddha a healthy and safe life!
