Chapter 545: Shwedagon Pagoda
Chapter 545: Shwedagon Pagoda
...... "Xiaodong, take you out for a walk, it's hard to come to Myanmar once, but you can't just gamble on stones!" After putting the luggage away, Zhou Bin said.
"Okay!" Liu Dong nodded.
It's only four o'clock in the afternoon, and it's really not suitable to be stuffy in the hotel!
After Zhou Bin left four bodyguards to look at the luggage in the hotel, a group of eight people walked out of the hotel, because the money was not bad, and they were also crowded, so they rented three cars directly!
Because Liu Dong went abroad for the first time and came to Myanmar for the first time, Zhou Bin took him directly to the most famous scenic spot in Myanmar, the 'Shwedagon Pagoda'!
The splendid Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon, Myanmar, along with the Borobudur Pagoda in Indonesia and Angkor Wat in Cambodia, is a world-famous stupa and a symbol of the Myanmar nation. Burmese people call Shwedagon Pagoda "Rui Daguang Pagoda"!
The circumference of the base of the golden pagoda is 427 meters, the height of the tower is 112 meters, and the base of the tower is 115 square meters. The top of the tower has the metal eaves of fine workmanship, there are 1065 golden bells, 420 silver bells hanging on the eaves, and inlaid with 7000 kinds of rare red and sapphire diamond balls, including 664 rubies, 551 jadeites, 443 diamonds, and there is a famous gold and steel diamond weighing 76 carats at the top of the tower. The body of the tower has been gilded many times, and the gold on it has weighed more than 7,000 kilograms.
The Shwedagon Pagoda is surrounded by 68 small pagodas, which are made of wood or stone, some resembling bells, some resembling boats, in different forms, and each small pagoda has a jade carved Buddha statue in its niche.
"He NNd. Burmese people are also too rich. This tower alone weighs more than 7 tons of gold. There are so many gems, how much can this sell for if it is dismantled? Ma Chao looked at the golden tower in the distance and the tourist brochure in his hand, and couldn't help but blush.
"Okay, no amount of money will fall into your hands, you better give me some peace, don't talk nonsense, otherwise the Buddhists here will hear it." Don't say I didn't remind you when you were beaten up! ”
After listening to Liu Dong's words and noticing the many pious monks and believers around, Ma Chao subconsciously shrunk his neck, looked around with thief eyebrows, and breathed a sigh of relief after noticing that no one was paying attention to them.
"Brother Dong, this queue is too long, shall we still go in and see?" For Ma Chao, a monk temple can't eat or drink, it's really not interesting!
"If you don't want to stand in line. Take a taxi back to the hotel by yourself! ”
Hearing this, Ma Chao shook his head very dryly. He himself doesn't know Burmese, so he can't communicate with the driver, how can he get back to the hotel? And he didn't remember the name of the hotel. So he could only follow Liu Dong impatiently and walked towards the Dajin Temple.
Of course, Liu Dong asked Zhou Bin to bring him here for the first stop because his 'relics Yuanguang' needs the faith of Buddhism to be able to progress, and the Shwedagon Temple in Myanmar is the holy place of Buddhism in the whole Myanmar, and there is no shortage of Buddhists here, so the Shwedagon Pagoda is a super tonic for his relics in Liu Dong's eyes.
Moreover, there are also four relics of the Buddha enshrined in the Shwedagon Pagoda, namely the rod of the Buddha Sun who detained the Sun, the water purifier of the Buddha of the Golden Buddha, the robe of the Buddha of the Buddha Kasya, and the eight hairs of the Buddha Shakyamuni.
Liu Dong was unwilling to let them go.
Shwedagon Pagoda has four gates, southeast, northwest and northwest, and Liu Dong and they walk through the south gate, and there is a stone lion in front of the door that is as tall as the lion guarding the door in front of Chinese temples! After taking off your shoes and entering, there is a long corridor-style bluestone staircase to climb to the top of the tower, and the two sides of the steps are full of stalls, with carved Buddha statues and human figures such as wood, bamboo, bone, ivory, etc., incense, candles, flowers, and various Burmese snacks for Buddha.
Because Zhou Bin had been here a few times, and he didn't believe in Buddhism, he didn't plan to go into the tower to worship again, and Ma Chao and Mu Gang were not interested in Buddhism, they preferred to linger at the surrounding food stalls, so Liu Dong gave them some money, and then walked towards the central Shwedagon Pagoda by himself.
When Liu Dong crossed the hundreds of marble platforms, on which a large number of Buddhist believers sat or knelt, Liu Dong could see the devotion from the heart in each of them.
And there was no noise here compared to the noise below the steps, and Liu Dong passed through these Buddhist believers and walked into the tower with the tourists who admired the central main tower.
The space inside the Shwedagon Pagoda is extraordinarily spacious, Liu Dong estimates that it is at least more than 10,000 square meters, which can accommodate at least 1,000 people to worship at the same time. Among them, the most eye-catching is the four jade carved inlaid Buddha statues around the central pillar of the main hall, the east is Shakyamuni, the south is Guanyin Bodhisattva, the west is the Medicine Buddha, and the north is Maitreya Buddha.
Looking at the believers who worship sincerely in front of each Buddha statue, although Liu Dong does not believe in Buddhism, he also feels that his soul has been cleansed here!
Walk to the east, look up at the golden statue of Shakyamuni Buddha sitting in a scab about four meters high, Liu Dong who was favored by others knelt down devoutly, although he did not believe in Buddha, but he got too much grace from this Buddha, it can be said that there is no original Shakyamuni relics, there is no current Liu Dong.
At this time, Liu Dong did not shake violently in the space of suppressing mustard seeds, which had been violently shaking for a long time, and at the moment when he gave up control, the relics Yuanguang centered on him and instantly enveloped all the qiqi in the circular space within four hundred meters in diameter around him, and the relics also rushed out from the Baihui acupoint at Liu Dong's top gate, stopping at a place three feet above Liu Dong's head and emitting a rich yellow aura.
At this time, all the tourists, devotees and monks in the Shwedagon Pagoda saw the most shocking scene of their lives.
I saw that the Buddha statues around them were originally only exquisitely shaped, and suddenly emitted different shades of yellow spiritual light, and finally all these spiritual lights shot towards the inside of the Shwedagon Pagoda, and the Shwedagon Pagoda, as the concentration of yellow spiritual light, also suddenly burst into the sky at the same time, which was particularly eye-catching in the blackened night, and all of a sudden the entire Yangon city and the surrounding villages saw the Shwedagon Pagoda like a huge luminous body!
Myanmar is a Buddhist country, 80% of the country's population is Buddhist, and basically all men in Myanmar have been monks in monasteries since birth, and they will return to the world when they become adults!
In addition, the Shwedagon Temple, where the Shwedagon Pagoda is located, is the largest and most respected temple in the whole of Myanmar, so at the moment when the Shwedagon Pagoda began to shine, all the Burmese people, no matter where he was, no matter what he was doing, all put down their work at hand, and all of them religiously worshipped the place where the Shwedagon Pagoda was located.
With the worship of millions of people, the yellow aura on the Shwedagon Pagoda has once again become several levels richer! At this moment, everyone was shocked by the Shwedagon Pagoda as if the sun had descended into the world, which was simply a miracle in myths and legends!
However, at this moment, Liu Dong didn't know what happened in the outside world, and now he encountered the same scene last time in the Wuxin Zen Temple, the joy of Zen internal power in the dantian was automatically running, and the mustard seed space in his mind was also violently shaken, breaking through the boundary of two hundred meters, and expanding rapidly.
In Liu Dong's feelings, it was as if his surroundings had become an ocean of light, and the relics on the top of his head were the core of this sea of light, and they were still swallowing the rich yellow aura around him!
Of course, this is Liu Dong's feeling, but the tourists and believers around him did not have this feeling, they did not notice Liu Dong's strange appearance, nor could they see the relics on Liu Dong's top door, but only noticed the yellow light on the Buddha statue in the tower and the entire Shwedagon Pagoda!
The intense yellow glow lasted for an hour before finally disappearing! The Buddha statues of Shwedagon Pagoda and Shwedagon Temple have regained their former tranquility, but their anomalies have been seen by millions of people! And the storm caused by them is spreading to the whole world with the help of the now developed communication network.
And Liu Dong, the source of all these visions, has already entered meditation and lost consciousness of the surrounding qiē!
As the most respected Buddhist monastery in the country, Shwedagon Temple's influence on Myanmar is no longer even under the government, so no one dares to disobey the closure order of Shwedagon Temple, even if foreign tourists complain, they have to withdraw.
However, the storm caused by the Shwedagon Temple anomaly erupted around the world, and no one knew the cause, but according to later authoritative media investigations, the number of Buddhists around the world nearly doubled dramatically within a year of the incident. Just over a year later, the biblical Armageddon Wheel of Doom is once again in full swing.
Of course, these have little to do with Liu Dong.
Three days after entering the meditation, Liu Dong opened his mouth and spit out a clearly visible, white turbid gas like a match, and slowly opened his eyes, and at this moment his heart was unprecedentedly quiet, his whole body seemed to be washed again, and the whole world became more real and more intimate in his eyes!
Of course, the most important thing is that his relics Yuanguang has reached a radius of four hundred meters, and with the breakthrough of the relics Yuanguang, the Huanxi Zen Gong that was originally only in the early stage of transformation has also reached the peak of the middle stage of transformation, maybe as long as a small chance can enter the late stage of transformation, then he will not be far from the Baodan realm of the land immortal realm.
"Huh!" After opening his eyes, Liu Dong was stunned all of a sudden!
