Thayer took everyone to see the Great Reclining Buddha.

When it comes to the Great Reclining Buddha, Zhou Sen has also heard of it, "The Great Reclining Buddha is very famous, I heard that it is very big!"

"Yes, when you come to Myanmar, you must go and have a look, I heard that you also have reclining Buddha in Sichuan, China?"

"Yes, we also have reclining Buddhas in Sichuan, and they are also very famous, let me introduce them to you!" Speaking of the reclining Buddha in Sichuan, Zhou Sen was proud.

"Sichuan Buddha architecture, the most famous is the Leshan Giant Buddha in Sichuan, the building of the Buddha statue is actually in the eyes of most tourists in our country, it is a very sacred place, and it is precisely because of how prominent its Buddha statue architecture is, so every year it attracts tourists from all over the world to come to pay respects, and it is easy to see how attractive the building of this Buddha statue is. ”

Such a Buddha statue building, in fact, it is still very spectacular in the Sichuan region of China, and it also occupies a place in the world. ”

"From the name, you can feel the momentum and uniqueness of this reclining Buddha, and it is also a Buddha statue worthy of praise in China's Buddha statue architectural culture, and its Buddha statue is very well-known in Sichuan. ”

"This reclining Buddha is in the Leshan Oriental Buddha Capital Scenic Area in Sichuan, in fact, it is also in Leshan, and the Leshan Giant Buddha belongs to the same city, which makes many tourists who have been here but do not know it feel sorry, it is also a national 4A-level tourist attraction. "In terms of the length of the reclining Buddha, it has also created a world record, because it is the longest reclining Buddha in the world, with a size of 170 meters, which can be called very spectacular, and it is also a rare reclining Buddha landscape in our country. ”

Liu Dazhuang nodded, "I have also been, the impression is still very deep, the reclining Buddha in Sichuan is really very big, with the sky as the house, the ground is the bed, and the green vegetation is the scene of clothes, so in the development of this reclining Buddha, it is actually very shocking, and this reclining Buddha is also a good reflection of the magnificent beauty of the cliff statue, and it is a treasure in the ancient culture of our country." ”

"It represents the achievements of Sichuan's ancient culture, and also represents our oriental culture, and there is an endless stream of tourists who come to visit and travel!"

"Yes, listening to the introduction of the reporter Zhou, I also appreciate the Sichuan Reclining Buddha, I also think that the Sichuan Reclining Buddha is very spectacular, very valuable, I have also taken my family to Sichuan, followed the tour guide to watch and appreciate, but also left a deep impression on me, but also sighed for people's wisdom, it is indeed amazing!"

"Hahaha......" Hearing Thayer say this, Zhou Sen was also quite satisfied.

"Okay, let's let Thayer take us to see the Great Reclining Buddha of Chotaji in Yangon!"

"Okay!"

Originally sculpted in 1907, the Rangoon Chotaji Buddha was originally semi-recumbent and changed to a full recumbent in 1958, with a length of 216 feet and a height of 56 feet.

Zhou Sen followed Thayer, looked at it carefully, and nodded, "Well, the eyes of the Buddha are still very important, it seems that our Chinese painters are really skilled, vivid, and indeed very expressive!"

Another special feature of the Great Reclining Buddha is that he has a giant foot as long as a human being, carved and painted with 108 grids and totems, of which 59 are the world of people, 21 are the world of animals, and 28 are the world of gods, representing the sublime significance that the Buddha has transcended these levels and is not reincarnated in the Three Realms.

Zhou Sen said: "I really don't know much about Buddhism, they may have a different meaning for each color, each pattern has a different meaning, it is about reducing material desires, a person has no desires and no desires, looking at everything, I think this is very difficult, some are really against human nature, if a person does not want anything, does not ask for anything, lives in the world, then what happiness is there at all?"

"It is impossible for people to have no desires, no needs, people always need to eat and need material foundation to live, and it is too difficult to be truly detached, and it is difficult for the gods to do it!"

The appearance of the six-story temple is not like a temple, but more like a modern museum, just like the facial expression of the Buddha is not like a Buddha, but more like a modern Myanmar Buddha statue shape is very humane, the temple in Myanmar is a place for people to relax physically and mentally, the temple is not only a place of worship, but also a place for people to meditate, chat and even gather with relatives and friends.

"There are couples who come here, they young people also come here to make wishes, it is said that come here to make a wish, the wish will come true, young people still believe in it, there are also people who come here to get married, after falling in love, they can become husband and wife, white-headed to old, the locals still believe very much, believe that the Great Reclining Buddha has a magical power, can bring good luck to people, bless the wind and rain, and have a good harvest. ”

"This big reclining Buddha, the most difficult to make is a large pair of big eyes, at that time to produce, talked about several have not succeeded, the eyes of the Buddha statue must be 1.7 meters by half a meter of giant glass beads, the craftsman then to Germany, Japan and other countries of the glass factory inquiry, but no manufacturer is willing to take the order, finally, Myanmar Naga glass factory agreed to contract, the factory mobilized all workers, after five failures, only in 1973 successfully produced glass eyeballs. ”

"It's really not easy, the eyeball installation ceremony of the Great Reclining Buddha was also very sensational at the time, many people came to watch, everyone felt that this was a very important thing, representing faith, there were many people who came to watch, a large crowd, under everyone's attention, the eyes of the Great Reclining Buddha were installed. ”

After Thayer's introduction, he took everyone to visit, Zhou Sen also looked around, the big reclining Buddha was golden, his eyebrows were black, as if he had made up, his lips were red, he dragged his head with his right hand, lying on his side, looking at the tourists, and wearing a golden robe.

This made Zhou Sen very impressed, and he remembered that Thayer had taken him to visit many pagodas before, those pagodas were also very Burmese characteristics, very Indian and Thai architectural styles, and saw this great reclining Buddha in Yangon, which looked very spectacular and shocking, and it seemed that faith was very important to people.

Myanmar Pagoda Garden is located on the west side of the ancient construction area of White Horse Temple, adjacent to the Thai Buddha Temple, the main building of Myanmar Shwedagon Pagoda, in accordance with the Myanmar national symbol Yangon Shwedagon Pagoda regulations and built, 32.92 meters high.

The main building of the Buddha hall includes three parts: Shwedagon Pagoda, the Big Buddha Hall and the museum, of which the Shwedagon Pagoda is the landmark building of the entire Buddha Hall, which is the tallest building in the entire Burmese style Buddha Hall complex.

In order to maintain the original flavor of Burmese architecture, the planning, design, materials, and statues of the Buddha hall were all completed by the Burmese side.

As a symbol of the friendship between the people of China and Myanmar, the Myanmar Pagoda Garden has received extensive attention from all walks of life, and the completion of the Myanmar Pagoda Garden is another grand event in the friendly exchanges between China and Myanmar, which will surely be recorded in the history of friendly exchanges between China and Myanmar.
