馬哈穆尼寺

它是世界各地的佛教信徒的宗教場所,許多人蔘觀並向佛陀表示敬意,以充分滿足他們的願望。

　　馬哈木尼佛塔又稱“大佛塔”，位於曼德勒的西南部，是一個佛教聖地，也是曼德勒香火旺的地方，供奉的是馬哈木尼佛像，相傳為佛祖親自開光。當地人將這座佛塔視為佛祖真身，認為他能帶來所有的奇迹，在緬甸有着神聖地位。　　馬哈木尼青銅佛像高約4米，關於它的由來有着很多不同的傳說和故事，可以確信的是在19世紀七八十年代的時候，一場大火燒毀了曼德勒城，但佛像卻奇迹般地保存下來，維一受損地方是純金皇冠和金製品被溶化混在一起，重修工程一直延續到1884年。如今不斷湧入的男性香客依習俗將金恭弘=叶 恭弘鋪貼在佛像身上，經多年積累，金恭弘=叶 恭弘厚度已經超過16厘米，整個佛像身體變了形，這也显示出此佛寺香火之鼎盛。

這個寺廟在曼德拉算是很大的寺廟，男的可以買金箔上去給大佛貼金的，女的只能在外面觀看，不能靠近大佛。馬哈木尼佛塔周圍居住着相當多的僧侶，因為他們認為居住於此就可得到佛祖的庇護。

This is the most popular Buddhist Pagoda Temple in Mandalay. It is said that the Mahamoni Buddha can be blessed by placing gold foil in the corresponding position whenever there is any pain. It is free to enter the temple. A gold foil of 1600 A is about 8 yuan. Men can paste it, while women can only watch it outside. Also need to pay attention to dress, shorts and skirts should not be too short, vest should not expose shoulders.

Mahamoni Buddha Pagoda is located 3 kilometers south of the city centre of Mandalay. It is one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Myanmar. The bronze statue of Buddha in Mahamoni Buddha Pagoda is about 4 meters high. It is said that the Buddha himself opened the pagoda. The local people regard the pagoda as the true body of the Buddha and have a sacred status in Myanmar. Not far from the pagoda hall is the famous triangular Gong hall and six bronze statues nearby. Triangle gongs are a romantic place. Burmese believe that when gongs sound there. If a man and a woman repeat the same word three times, they are a natural pair. Three of the six bronze statues are lion heads, two are Hindu God Shiva, and one is an elephant with three heads. It is said that the statue was cast in Cambodia in the 12th century and rolled over to Damandler. It is said that gods have magical powers to cure diseases, so long as they are rubbed against the body of the bronze statue and where their own pain is, they can work. The male pilgrims will put the gold leaf on the statue. After years of accumulation, the thickness of the gold leaf has exceeded 16 working hours, which also shows the prosperity of the incense in this Buddhist temple, which is worth seeing. Every morning at 4:00 a.m., a facial washing ceremony for the Buddha statue is held, attracting a large number of Buddhists to visit, but women are not allowed to enter the inner hall of the temple, but can only visit at the door. When they came, they heard that Southeast Asian countries like Myanmar always like to exaggerate, especially Buddha. Today, when we come to this Buddhist holy place, we are still shocked by the magnificence of gold and green in front of us. All eyes are golden, golden and white, red matching, is very gorgeous. This is very different from the temples in China. Without dark tones and ghost curtains, the feeling here is more calm and comfortable, without fear at all. There are many pilgrims here, but they can't be called pilgrims either. In Myanmar, people worship Buddhas with flowers, not incense. In front of the Golden Buddha, men queue up to kneel in the inner hall to worship the Buddha statue and paste gold for the Buddha statue. The backpack can not be brought in. Women can only kneel outside the temple. When visiting the temple, we also met with ritual Buddha activities. A group of children, led by girls, dressed in national costumes, holding tributes, circled the temple clockwise. When I came, I had never heard of any similar activities, so I didn't know what they meant. I just felt fresh. When you see local tourists taking pictures with cameras, and cameramen taking pictures all the way, you feel that this must be an important activity, and you can't feel that you are in a good mood. It's been about an hour since I came out of the temple. It's already over the time I had agreed on.

Mahamoni Buddhist Temple is the second place worth visiting besides Ubun Bridge. It is located in the city of Mandalay and does not belong to the four ancient cities. The temple is of medium size, so you don't have to wander around and head straight to the center. There is a beautiful golden Buddha sitting in the hut in the center. The local people buy gold foil and stick it on the Buddha statue for many years, so that they can not look directly at it. In the narrow hall, there is a magnificent sense of sacredness. Because of the diffraction of indoor light, the golden light here is the best in Myanmar. Outside the hall, hundreds of people knelt and chanted sutras. Overhead, they had several TV screens, repeatedly playing gold-stamped images of Buddha statues, spreading confused religious atmosphere. Tickets are not accepted here, but you have to pay $1 for your photos. Replacing tickets with photo fees is quite common in Myanmar temples. Women are not allowed to approach the Golden Buddha. Only men can walk in and see the truth. Standing still in front of the Buddha statue is not allowed, sitting down and looking up at the face of the Golden Buddha. It is a mixture of strange solemnity and magical beauty. Men gather around and buy gold foil to paste it on the Buddha statue. In a trance, they feel that he is touched by a thousand hands.
