Dream shwedagon pagoda

"Dream" is A Dai. I consulted the local people yesterday and explained that it means "mangshi". Today, I found out that it means "City of Dawn" and thought that the local people were wrong. Later, when I think about it carefully, "mountain" also means light. According to legend, "mangshi" was named by the Buddha when he arrived here before dawn, meaning "City of Dawn". It seems that both statements are correct. Dream Shwedagon Pagoda is located at the top of Leiyagang Mountain on Peacock Lake in mangshi. It is a sacred place for the Dai people who live here, and also a landmark building in mangshi. It's sunny today. Under the sunshine, the Shwedagon Pagoda is resplendent.

? When I arrived at the parking lot of the Dream Shwedagon Pagoda, the silver tower under construction opposite the Shwedagon Pagoda was dazzling white and charming. Suddenly, a cloud floated in the distance. Under the cover of the cloud, it looked confusing, just like a fairyland. As it is under construction, we can only look at it from a distance.

? Next to the parking lot is the entrance to the Shwedagon Pagoda. I thought the ticket office was at the door, but I couldn't find it for a long time. I thought I would go straight through the long steps and enter the gate of the Shwedagon Pagoda. At this moment, I found the ticket office and asked for 30 yuan. Because it was past nine o'clock when I came, the tour group had already started to enter, and the people who bought tickets lined up.

? Walking into the Shwedagon Pagoda, I was deeply attracted by her majesty. According to my usual understanding of the temple, I started to turn from the left. When I went in, I was facing the south gate, and on my left, I was followed by the west gate, the north gate and the east gate. Walking between the South Gate and the West Gate, there is an observation deck overlooking the whole mangshi. At this time, under the orange light of the sun, mangshi was wrapped in layers of clouds, emitting a maternal, soft and charming light.

There is a cloister next to the observation deck, which is covered with wishing cards. At first, I thought it was just to make a wish. Later, I heard the tour guide nearby say that "Mupai" is also called "Bertudor". The big one is Zhong, and the small one is Tudor. They are hung on temples, pavilions, towers and cornices for warning, education, fasting and playing music. The body of the Shwedagon Pagoda is covered with "Lingduo". Everyone looked up for a long time and didn't know which one it was. The tour guide also said that there is a long umbrella-shaped thing on the tower with "Lingduo" hanging on it. As soon as the wind blows, "Lingduo" sounds sweet, and together with the Shwedagon Pagoda, it seems that you are in a Buddhist shrine, and your soul has been sublimated.

I walked around the Shwedagon Pagoda devoutly, entered the Pagoda from the south gate of the Shwedagon Pagoda, and devoutly worshipped all the bodhisattvas (Guanyin Bodhisattva, Medicine King Buddha, Maitreya Buddha, Tathagata Buddha). Then come out from the south gate and prepare to leave the Shwedagon Pagoda. When I went out, I saw a hint that it would take three turns around the Shwedagon Pagoda to be complete, so I turned twice. Finally, when I turned to the East Gate, I was told by the tour guide that the correct route to enter the pagoda and worship the Bodhisattva was from the East Gate and from the South Gate. I don't understand. I entered the wrong door, but I went the right way. I don't think these are important. What matters is a sincere and awe-inspiring heart.
