1. The history of the Dajin Pagoda

Yangon is located on the fertile delta downstream of the Irrawaddy River . It is the largest metropolis of Myanmar and a famous port in Southeast Asia. It has a population of more than 3 million. The golden tower top, the buildings left by the colonial era, the noisy market, and the beautiful and peaceful Lake Laya make this city unique.

Yangon Grand Kinderpa is located on the slope of Sinddaya Mountain in northern Yangon. It is a Buddha's relics tower and the tallest building in Yangon. Its luxurious figure can be seen almost in the entire Yangon city. It is as famous as Indonesia Borobudur and Cambodia Angkor Wat, and is a precious human cultural heritage. The Great Golden Tower has been repaired many times since its inception. The Great Golden Pagoda of Yangon was only nine meters high when it was first built. In 1450, Wang Boniyayang rebuilt the Great Golden Tower and raised it to 92 meters. The only queen in Myanmar history, who ascended the throne in 1453, and his son-in-law, King Bodhidharma Siti, carried out a large-scale repair of the Great Golden Pagoda, built a Buddhist pavilion around the pagoda, and cast a bronze bell worth more than 200 tons. In 1492, Xin Xiufu's grandson Boniyakindao built 48 small pagodas around the pagoda. In the 16th century, the king of the Dongyu Dynasty once gilded and lifted the Great Golden Tower. In 1581, King Nandaboyin of the Ava Dynasty built a gold and silver umbrella flower pagoda at the base of the pagoda and presented a top umbrella with 2,000 rubies embedded there. In 1777, King Xin Ancient King built a Buddhist temple around the pagoda foundation and the altar, and cast four five-alloy Buddha statues. Later, he also cast a 25.6-ton copper bell on the northwest of the Great Golden Pagoda. In 1871, Mindongwang rebuilt the treasure umbrella for the Great Golden Pagoda. This treasure umbrella is the treasure umbrella on the Great Golden Pagoda that people see today. In the 80 years after the Second British-British War, the Great Kinderpa was occupied by British colonists. In 1929, under the unremitting struggle of the Burmese people, the Great Kin Pagoda returned to the hands of the Burmese people. Today, there is a special management committee in Myanmar that is responsible for raising funds to repair the Golden Tower. The Dajin Tower will be renovated every 3 to 5 years. The Great Golden Pagoda is like a growing open-air museum, recording the history of Burmese people and containing the passion and persistence of Burmese people in their own beliefs.

The Great Golden Tower covers an area of ​​0.7 square kilometers, with nearly 10,000 gold foils from top to bottom, inlaid with diamonds and rubies, shining brightly under the sunlight; there are more than 1,000 gold and silver bells hanging on the tower.

Every day from morning to night, good men and women come and go, flowing endlessly. I pray here and recite the Buddha. There is an Bodhi tree in the southeast corner of the Great Golden Pagoda. According to legend, it was moved from the holy tree nursery beside the Vajra throne of Sakyamuni in India. The leaves are swaying, exuding a mysterious color. There are 44 umbrella-shaped flower pagodas, 82 Buddhist pavilions and various large and small Buddhist temples around the foundation. These buildings are arranged in an orderly manner and are integrated with the main tower, making the entire building complex solemn and sacred and magnificent. The Buddhist galleries, temples and pavilions are decorated with exquisite reliefs and paintings.
