ISBN10: 9749863607, ISBN13: 9789749863602, [publisher: River Books] Softcover Paperback. The Buddha himself presented strands of his hair to two traveling merchants in Bodh Gaya, India. The pair returned to Burma where these living hairs are venerated as the country's most sacred relics, now enshrined in the Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon. This myth began among the Mon in lower Burma only as late as the 14th or 15th century, but it was later adopted throughout the land. If the most sacred monument is the Shwedagon, then the country's most important image is the Mahamuni Buddha in Mandalay. This huge metal sculpture was removed as imperial booty to upper Burma, upon the conquest of Arakan, scarcely more than two hundred years ago. This image is so revered (and powerful), since a legendary Arakan king received the Buddha in his court and was permitted to cast a bronze in the Buddha's likeness. Relics and the connection between the Buddha and the country's kingdoms are basic themes. New myths and shrines, however, emerge with remarkable frequency in our own time, while others fall out of favour. The book covers the most significant old and new sacred sites in Yangon, Pagan, the Mandalay area, and within the Shan, Rakhine and Mon states. AUTHOR: Donald M. Stadtner was for many years an Associate Professor of Art History at the University of Texas, Austin, after receiving his Ph.D in Indian art at the University of California, Berkeley.

Description: "The sacred sites of Burma are amongst the most beautiful and spectacular in all of Asia. However, the fame and sacredness of these holy places rests almost solely on the myths and legends that surround their founding and the origins of their relics. The Buddha himself presented strands of his hair to two travelling merchants in Bodh Gaya, India. The pair returned to Burma where these 'living hairs' are venerated as the country's most sacred relics, now enshrined in the Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon. It appears that this myth arose amongst the Mon but today it is known throughout the land. Similar myths and legends abound in Burma, always in connection with a sacred site, whether it be the cast bronze Mahamuni Buddha in Mandalay, the Buddha footprints found at Magwe or curious geological phenomena such as the Golden Rock at Kyaik-hti-yo. These Buddhist tales can arise and evolve with astounding speed and creativity drawing on a variety of sources ranging from local folklore to Sri Lankan chronicles. The author uncovers the evidence for and traces the development of these intricate myths across a wide spectrum of Burmese sacred sites ranging from the Mon ...
