Exploring Sagaing Hills - Vipaasana, 30 Caves Pagoda & World's First Jade Pagoda.

Join us on an awe-inspiring journey through Sagaing Hills, Myanmar’s spiritual heartland teeming with nearly 600 monasteries and home to over 6,000 monks and nuns. This video explores Vipassana meditation, which has been practiced here for centuries, making Sagaing one of the most important meditation centers in the country. We begin at the stunning U Min Thonze Pagoda, meaning 30 Caves, with its crescent-shaped hall housing 45 intricately adorned Buddha statues — a masterpiece of Buddhist architecture. Next, we ascend to the Soon Oo Ponnya Shin Pagoda, rooted in a legend where deities always beat devotees in offering the first meal to Buddha. The name merges "Soon" (offering) with the 14th-century minister Ponnya who built it. We then visit the grand Kaunghmudaw Pagoda, modeled after Sri Lanka’s Ruwanwelisaya. Its unique egg-shaped dome stands apart from traditional Burmese stupas, symbolizing the sacred relics enshrined within. The journey concludes with the jaw-dropping Kyauksein Pagoda, the world's first jade pagoda, constructed with over 10,000 tons of jade and rising over 75 feet. Built by a jade-mining family as a public offering, it stands as a shimmering tribute to faith and generosity. Note: For safety reasons, it's advised not to venture beyond the Sagaing Hills region due to current travel advisories. Whether you're a spiritual seeker, architecture lover, or cultural explorer — Sagaing Hills offers a profound connection to Myanmar’s rich Buddhist heritage. #Myanmar , #Sagaing , #Travel , #Tourist , #Burma , #Vipassana , #UminThonze , #KyaukseinPagoda , #Kaunghmudaw , #Mandalay , #WorldWatchTraveller , #HarryMateman , #MeditationInMyanmar , #MyanmarTourism ,
