According to local tradition the <strong>Buddha<\/strong> had a vision in which Arakan &#8220;became a land illuminated by Buddhism&#8221; and traveled to this region flying from India accompanied by his 500 disciples. The Dhanyawadi monarch invited the Buddha to his palace to receive the Teachings of the Buddha himself. Buddha accepted and for seven days dictated his doctrine. When he was planning his return to <strong>India<\/strong>, the king begged the Buddha to make a &#8220;replica&#8221; of him in order that the faithful may venerate him in his absence. Buddha accepted and so was born the <strong>image of Sakyamuni<\/strong>, considered the only real copy of the <strong>image of Buddha<\/strong> in the world. The statue, made of bronze, would be called <strong>Mahamuni<\/strong> (&#8220;Great Sage&#8221;) in his honor. The <strong>Buddha<\/strong> himself enshrined the statue and transmitted his own aura to it, giving &#8220;life&#8221;. The king placed the statue on a throne of precious stones and ordered the construction of monasteries around.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.anamoralesblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mahamuni-Paya-4.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"attachment noopener wp-att-876 noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-84128 alignright lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 200px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 200\/300;margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" title=\"Praying to the Mahamuni Buddha\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.anamoralesblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/Mahamuni-Paya-4-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"Praying to the Mahamuni Buddha\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/anamoralesblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mahamuni-Paya-4-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/anamoralesblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mahamuni-Paya-4.jpg 667w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/a>Therefore, and according to popular belief, the statue was consecrated by <strong>Gautama Buddha<\/strong> himself (the historical Buddha) in order to create a &#8220;living twin&#8221; that in his absence would advise to kings and give sermons to the community. An ancient arakanese chronicle attributed to the statue special and superhuman powers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <strong>Mahamuni Shrine<\/strong> in <strong>Dhanyawadi<\/strong>, with its legendary statue of Buddha, remained the main worship center in <strong>Arakan<\/strong> until the eighteenth century, but also became an object of desire by the successive Buddhists rulers. This led (at the end of eighteenth century) to the end of the stay of the Mahamuni statue in Dhanyawadi after more than a millennium and a half there (according to tradition).<br \/>\nIn 1784 the King of Burma, <strong>Bodawpaya<\/strong>, heir of the empire founded by his father (the Third Burmese Empire), turned his attention to the neighboring state of Arakan, independent but always coveted by the Burmese. Bodawpaya carried out the conquest being this a heavy blow and a humiliation for its inhabitants, and the statue was taken from Arakan to never return to his place of origin.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Obtaining the <strong>statue of Buddha<\/strong> was the greatest victory for Bodawpaya because he achieved what his ancestors had wished for so long. The statue, with his supernatural powers, was now in his possession. Being under the control of Bodawpaya the <strong>Shwedagon Pagoda<\/strong> in <strong>Yangon<\/strong>, the <strong>Golden Rock<\/strong>, <strong>Kyaiktiyo<\/strong>, and now the <strong>Mahamuni<\/strong>, known as the &#8220;<strong>holy triumvirate of Burma<\/strong>&#8220;he had a religious prestige but also a virtually insurmountable political and social power since Buddhism played an important role in the legitimacy of the Burmese monarchy. In fact, among the arguments for the conquest of Arakan included the accusation that Buddhism in that region was in decline and had to be protected.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.anamoralesblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mahamuni-Paya-17.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"attachment noopener wp-att-875 noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-84127 size-full lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/674;margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" title=\"Golden leaves for the Mahamuni\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.anamoralesblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mahamuni-Paya-17.jpg\" alt=\"Golden leaves for the Mahamuni\" width=\"1000\" height=\"674\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/anamoralesblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mahamuni-Paya-17.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/anamoralesblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mahamuni-Paya-17-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/anamoralesblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mahamuni-Paya-17-445x300.jpg 445w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But this is the history, the sanctuary that houses the <strong>Mahamuni<\/strong>, a great pagoda in southern <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.francescmorera.com\/en\/galeriasLugares\/mandalay_en.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mandalay<\/a><\/strong>, is not the original but a reconstruction (not identical) of the building from 1785, which was destroyed by fire.

Women are not allowed to access the stay and, like me, we settle for seeing through a door from which you can see part of the image. Statue is resting on a platform about two feet high, and men access it to make their offerings of gold leaf. The <strong>Mahamuni statue<\/strong> is made of bronze (though no one would find out beneath a layer of 5 cm thick gold. Gold has made it &#8220;fat&#8221; and deforms the image especially at base). It measures nearly four feet high. Its total weight is 6.5 tons, and shows the <strong>Buddha at the moment of enlightenment<\/strong>, with his right hand touching the ground as evidence of his past deeds and the other hand resting on his knee with the palm up. The ornaments that crown his head and chest are embedded with precious stones (diamonds, sapphires, emeralds, etc&#8230;) donated by Buddhist devotees over the centuries. The image certainly imposes, and it is curious and strange because it is still an inanimate object.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The most important moment of the day is around 04:00 am with the first rays of sun. Then it is performed the ritual of washing the face of the statue. The abbot is the only one who can touch the face of Mahamuni, washing even his teeth. When the process terminates all who have attended to the ritual can make their offerings to the image.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">His possession and sponsorship by kings in the past and for the military junta currently not only have a religious but also political order and is no other than perpetuate control over a society, the Burmese, which religious fervor is very strong.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">[uncode_socials size=&#8221;lead&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[vc_separator]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The venerated Mahamuni image, located in a Temple in Mandalay, is also known as&#8221;Rakhine Buddha&#8220;, as it is in this [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10275,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4894,5067],"tags":[5286,5287,5288,5289,5290,5291,5068,5071,5072,5087,5123,5148,5199,5283,5284,5285],"class_list":["post-87488","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-asia-en","category-burma-myanmar","tag-shwedagon-en","tag-rakhine-en","tag-arakan-en","tag-dhanyawadi-en","tag-arakenese-en","tag-sakyamuni-en","tag-burma-en","tag-mandalay-en","tag-bodawpaya-en","tag-buddha-en","tag-gautama-en","tag-burmese-en","tag-india","tag-golden-rock-en","tag-mahamuni-en","tag-kyaiktiyo-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
