Myanmar has known as the country of Theravada Buddhism country in Asia. From the South to the North of Myanmar, there are a huge number of monasteries and pagodas existed for a long time to serve the religious belief of Burmese citizens.
With a lot of pagodas which are well-known in the social media, the visitors must be attracted and have the strong needs to visit them, Myanmar also has a lot of abandon temples with the sacred beauty. I feel I was very pleasure to have a long trip going around Myanmar even the remote areas then see and touch fallow temples by my own eyes. It was the strange moment that I have experienced.
It was a sunshine morning, I woke up by the Dhamar talks of Zen master in the remote rural area that I did not know the name.
Because of the lack of Burmese language, I did not understand what the Zen master saying. So, it is the right time for me to walk around the area before the Dhamar talk finish. By walking along the country lane which is full of wild trees and ancient trees in 2 sides, I suddenly looked at the ground with a lot of ancien pillars on the ground. Following my curiosity, I moved towards it in order to see what they are.
Turn out this is an ancient abandon temples built in the past. This one has been taken out of service because of the decline of material facilites and because of the changing of need from Buddhist. I do not know the name to call these small temples. I just know that in each one, they will put a Buddha statue inside the gate as a place for worship.
Most of the small ruins was built by brick, some of them were painted by the white color.
The abandon temple was covered by wild trees, grass on the ground while the cobweb and dirt spread on the surface of ancient ruins.
By being out in the rain and sun day after day, they has been eroded quickly, so there are variety irregular patches on the wall. It remarks the beauty of interaction of nature over time.
During the Burmese civil war, it is quite difficult for visitors to travel and visit some places such an ancient ruins like this. The local people are struggling to get a living. The spiritual life has an extraodinary meaning to them. It just like a main food for the mind, for their relaxation, and for their life’s philosophy.
I love Burmese people a lot, not only for their character but also for their lifestyle. They often go to the temple and pray the good things for their family, for the relatives and for their country also. Following the teaching of Buddha, it creates such an good nature for Myanmar.
