Five hundred and fortieth chapters Shwedagon Pagoda
Chapter 545 Shwedagon Pagoda
..."Xiaodong, let me take you out for a walk. It's hard to come to Myanmar, but not just for gambling on stones!" Zhou Bin said after putting away the luggage.∷
"Okay!" Liu Dong nodded.
It's only four o'clock in the afternoon now, so it's really not appropriate to be bored in a 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 they were not short of money and there were many of them, they rented three cars directly!
Because it was Liu Dong’s first time abroad and his first time in Myanmar, Zhou Bin took him directly to the most famous attraction in Myanmar, the Shwedagon Pagoda!
The splendid Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon, Myanmar?, together with Borobudur Pagoda in Indonesia and Angkor Wat in Cambodia, is called a treasure of oriental art. It is a world-famous pagoda and a symbol of the country of Myanmar. Myanmar people call Shwedagon Pagoda
"Rui Daguang Tower"!
The circumference of the base of the golden pagoda is 427 meters, the height of the pagoda is 112 meters, and the base of the pagoda is 115 square meters. The top of the pagoda has a finely crafted metal eaves, with 1,065 gold bells and 420 silver bells hung on the eaves, and 7,000 inlaid with various gems.
A rare red and sapphire diamond ball, including 664 rubies, 551 emeralds, and 443 diamonds. There is a famous gold steel diamond weighing 76 carats on the top of the tower. The tower body has been gilded many times, and there are more than 7,000 gold on it.
Kilogram weight.
There are 68 small pagodas around the Shwedagon Pagoda. These small pagodas are made of wood or stone. Some are like bells, some are like boats, and have different shapes. Each small pagoda has a jade carved Buddha statue stored in its niche.
"He nnd. The Burmese people are too rich. This tower alone contains more than 7 tons of gold. There are also so many gems. How much can it be sold for if it is demolished?" Ma Chao looked at the splendid tower in the distance.
And the travel brochure in his hand, he couldn't help but be jealous.
"Okay, no amount of money will fall into your hands. You'd better be calm and don't talk nonsense, otherwise the Buddhists here will hear you. If you get beaten up, don't say I didn't warn you!"
After listening to Liu Dong's words and noticing the many devout monks and believers around him, Ma Chao subconsciously shrank his neck and looked around with a sly eyebrow. He was relieved when he realized that no one was paying attention to them.
"Brother Dong, the queue is too long, should we go in and take a look?" For Ma Chao, a monk's temple where you can't eat or drink is really not interesting!
"If you don't want to queue, just take a taxi back to the hotel!"
Hearing this, Ma Chao shook his head very simply. He didn't understand Burmese himself, so he couldn't communicate with the driver. How to get back to the hotel? And he didn't remember the name of the hotel. So he could only follow Liu Dong with an impatient expression.
Walk towards the Shwedagon Temple.
Of course, Liu Dong asked Zhou Bin to take him here as the first stop because his 'relic Yuanguang' requires Buddhist belief to progress, and the Shwedagon Temple in Myanmar is the holy place of Buddhism in Myanmar. The most important thing here is Buddhists.
, so in Liu Dong’s eyes, the Shwedagon Pagoda is a super tonic for his relic Yuanguang.
Moreover, there are four relics of the Buddha enshrined in the Shwedagon Pagoda, namely the staff used to detain Sun Buddha, the water purifier used by the Buddha of Enlightenment, the robe of Kassapa Buddha, and the eight hairs of the Buddha Sakyamuni.
Liu Dong was unwilling to let go of them alone.
The Shwedagon Pagoda has four gates, southeast, northwest, and Liu Dong and the others took the south gate. In front of the gate is a stone lion as tall as the gatekeeper lions that often appear in front of Chinese temples! After taking off your shoes and entering, there is a long corridor-style bluestone step.
Climbing to the top of the pagoda, there are stalls on both sides of the steps, including Buddha statues and human figures carved from wood, bamboo, bone, ivory, etc., as well as incense, candles, flowers for the Buddha, and various Burmese snacks.
Because Zhou Bin has been here several times and does not believe in Buddhism, he has no intention of going to the pagoda to worship again. Ma Chao and Mu Gang are not interested in Buddhism either. They prefer to hang out at the surrounding food stalls.
Therefore, after Liu Dong gave them some money, he walked towards the Shwedagon Pagoda in the center alone.
When Liu Dong crossed the hundreds of steps of the marble platform, there were a large number of Buddhist believers sitting or kneeling on the platform. Liu Dong could see the sincere piety from each of them.
And compared to the noise below the steps, no one was making any noise here. Liu Dong passed through these Buddhist believers and walked into the tower along with the tourists who were paying homage to the central main tower.
The space inside the Shwedagon Pagoda is exceptionally wide. Liu Dong estimated that it is at least more than 10,000 square meters and can accommodate at least a thousand people to worship at the same time. There are exquisite wood carvings, root carvings, jade carvings and tree fossils displayed around the hall. The most eye-catching among them.
There are four jade-carved and gold-inlaid Buddha statues around the sky pillar in the center of the hall. To the east is Sakyamuni, to the south is Guanyin Bodhisattva, to the west is Medicine Buddha, and to the north is Maitreya Buddha.
Looking at the believers worshiping devoutly in front of each Buddha statue, although Liu Dong does not believe in Buddhism, he also feels that his soul has been cleansed here!
Walking to the east, he looked up at the four-meter-high golden statue of Sakyamuni Buddha sitting with scabs. Liu Dong, who was favored by others, knelt down and worshiped devoutly. Although he did not believe in Buddhism, from this statue
He received too many favors from the Buddha. It can be said that without the original relic of Sakyamuni, there would be no Liu Dong today.
At this time, Liu Dong was not suppressing the mustard seed space, which had been shaking the Sakyamuni relic violently for a long time. The moment he gave up control, the relic's original light centered on him and instantly spread out the surrounding area with a diameter of 400 meters.
Everything in the circular space within the meter was enveloped, and the relics rushed out from the Baihui Point on Liu Dong's top door and stopped one foot or three feet above Liu Dong's head, emitting a rich yellow aura.
At this time, all the tourists, believers and monks in the Shwedagon Pagoda saw the most shocking scene in their lives.
They saw that originally there were only exquisitely shaped Buddha statues around them, suddenly emitting yellow auras of varying shades, and finally all these auras shot towards the interior of the Shwedagon Pagoda, and the Shwedagon Pagoda, where the yellow aura was concentrated, also suddenly emitted at the same time
A golden light shot up into the sky, which was particularly eye-catching in the dark night. All of a sudden, people in the entire city of Yangon and surrounding villages saw the Shwedagon Pagoda like a huge luminous body!
Myanmar is a Buddhist country, with 80% of the country’s population being Buddhists. Moreover, almost all men in Myanmar have entered monasteries and served as monks since they were born, and will return to secular life after they reach adulthood!
In addition, the Shwedagon Pagoda where the Shwedagon Pagoda is located is the largest and most respected temple in Myanmar. Therefore, at the moment the Shwedagon Pagoda begins to shine, all Burmese people put down their hands no matter where they are or what they are doing.
All the work was carried out devoutly towards the place where the Shwedagon Pagoda is located. At this moment, the whole Yangon resounded with the sound of chanting that shook the entire city.
With millions of people worshiping, the yellow aura on the Shwedagon Pagoda became several levels richer again! At this moment, everyone was shocked by the Shwedagon Pagoda, which was like the sun coming into the world. This was simply a miracle in myths and legends!
But at this moment, Liu Dong didn't know what was happening in the outside world. Now he encountered the same scene as last time in Wuxin Zen Temple. The Huanxi Zen internal energy in his Dantian started to operate automatically, and the mustard space in his mind also shook violently, and he broke through.
The two-hundred-meter limit expanded rapidly.
Liu Dong felt as if his surroundings had turned into a sea of light, and the relics one foot or three above his head were the core of this sea of light, and they were still swallowing up the surrounding rich yellow aura!
Of course, this was how Liu Dong felt, but the tourists and believers who were around him didn't feel this way. They didn't notice anything strange about Liu Dong, and they couldn't see the relics on Liu Dong's top door. They just noticed the pagoda.
The yellow glow on the inner Buddha statue and the entire Shwedagon Pagoda!
After the strong yellow glow lasted for an hour, it finally slowly disappeared! The Buddha statues of Shwedagon Pagoda and Shwedagon Temple returned to their former tranquility, but their abnormalities have been seen by millions of people! And
The storm caused by them is spreading to the entire world with the help of the now developed communication network.
And Liu Dong, the source of all these visions, has entered meditation and lost consciousness of everything around him!
After the vision disappeared, the Shwedagon Temple suddenly announced its closure. As the most respected Buddhist temple in the country, the influence of the Shwedagon Temple on Myanmar is no longer even under the government. Therefore, in the face of the closure order of the Shwedagon Temple, no one
If people dare not comply, even if foreign tourists complain, they will have to leave.
However, the storm caused by the anomaly in the Shwedagon Temple broke out all over the world. No one knew the reason. However, according to subsequent authoritative media surveys, within one year after this incident, the number of Buddhists around the world suddenly increased by nearly 1%.
Times the number. Just over a year ago, the Armageddon Doomsday Wheel of the Bible has once again become popular.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Liu Dong.
Three days after entering samadhi, Liu Dong opened his mouth and spit out a clearly visible white turbid air, like a horse, and slowly opened his eyes. At this moment, his heart felt unprecedentedly peaceful, and his whole body seemed to have been washed again. The whole world
It becomes more real and kind in his eyes!
Of course, the most important thing is that his relic primordial light has reached a radius of four hundred meters. With the breakthrough of the relic primordial light, the joyful Zen skill that was originally only in the early stage of turning jin has reached the peak of the middle stage. Maybe with just a small
With the opportunity, he will be able to enter the late stage of energy transformation, and by then he will not be far from the Baodan realm of the land fairy realm.
"Hey!" After opening his eyes, Liu Dong was stunned!
