Myanmar, where Buddhism is prevalent

In this world, there are many countries where Buddhism is relatively popular. One of the most famous is Myanmar. Myanmar has a long history and its places are not unique. It is large, only 680,000 square kilometers, but it has as many as 135 ethnic groups. Most of these ethnic groups believe in Buddhism. They believe in Theravada Buddhism. It can be said that Theravada Buddhism is the national religion of Myanmar. Because of the popularity of Buddhism, Buddha statues can be seen everywhere. At the same time, they have the most precious things in the world, such as pagodas and Buddha statues. unique.

Myanmar is rich in jade, and the quality of jade is very high. There is a pagoda here, which is made of more than 1,500 tons of high-quality jade. You can imagine how much it is worth. From this pagoda, you can also see the status of Buddhism among the Burmese people. In addition to this, Myanmar also has a Shwedagon Pagoda. This Buddhist temple is extremely luxurious.

The raw materials used to create it include seven tons of gold, and nearly 7,000 various precious gems as decorations. Moreover, there is a rule for the pagoda here. No matter whether you believe in Buddhism or not, and whether you are a native of the country or not, as long as you come here, you must take off your shoes before entering, because this can show your respect for the Buddha.

The world's best "Reclining Buddha"

Buddhism has actually been popular for many years, including in our country. Buddhism was first introduced to our country during the Han Dynasty. After a long period of localization, he finally became very prosperous during the Tang Dynasty. Although many countries believe in Buddhism, there are some differences in the shapes of Buddha statues and Buddhist temples.

For example, the lines of various Buddha statues in China are relatively simple, giving people a solemn and gentle feeling. In China, you rarely see lying or reclining Buddha statues. All the Buddha statues you see are They meditate and stand, but there are many Buddha statues in Myanmar, where he is lying.

Why are some of the Buddha statues in Myanmar lying down? In fact, this has something to do with the founder of Buddhism, Gautama Buddha. Rumor has it that Gautama Buddha was lying where he was when he died. In fact, this is This incident is also recorded in the "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty": "Entering the bliss of silence, he lay down in the north between two trees." It is for this reason that there are many reclining Buddhas in Myanmar.

The world's largest reclining Buddha is also located in Myanmar. In ordinary people's impression, Buddha statues are generally carved from stone, which is similar in color to stone, and a small part is golden. But this is the largest reclining Buddha in the world. Its main colors are red, white and black, which is very different from the Buddha statues we usually think of. It also covers a very large area. It can be said that its area is very large. It is about the same size as a football field, making it the largest reclining Buddha in the world.

It is too realistic and tourists dare not get close

Because this Buddha statue is too huge and is located in the forest. If you look from a distance, you will find that there is a Buddha lying in the mountains. A huge Buddha. The most important thing is that the construction technology of this Buddha statue is very high, and every detail is vividly carved. Even his eyebrows are perfectly carved, and his eyes look very empty, but are actually full of charm. He seemed to be meditating on something and comprehending the principles of the world.

This Buddha statue is also a famous attraction far and near, and is very famous in the world. It attracts Buddhist believers and other tourists from all over the world to watch. The incense here is very strong. However, many tourists only dare to watch it from a distance and never dare to go under it to watch it up close.

In fact, this is all due to his superb construction skills, because Myanmar is located in the tropics, and this Buddha statue is located in the forest, surrounded by fog all year round. It will strike fear into the hearts of many tourists. In addition, its red, white and black colors make it even more depressing. For Buddhist believers, they think that the Buddha statue is alive and very solemn. In addition, it puts a certain amount of psychological pressure on the devout Buddhist believers, making them afraid to look directly at the Buddha statue.

Conclusion

Going abroad is no longer a fantasy like it used to be, but you can experience it yourself. Although Myanmar is not a big place, it has beautiful scenery and extremely magnificent natural environment. Coming here is also a perfect trip.
