As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw that UNESCO was included in the world cultural heritage. Because there are rows of pagodas inside, there are 729 stone monuments carved with dense Buddhist scriptures. Each pagoda is dedicated to a stone monument. On the first day of the attraction, I experienced the feeling of walking barefoot.

    Located at the foot of Mandalay Mountain, built in 1857 by the king of Mindong, Myanmar, it is the world's greatest merit pagoda, full name is Maharoga Maruosheng pagoda. These stone monuments are known as the "world's greatest book" and their scale is unique in the Buddhist world. Very beautiful!

    The pagodas are arranged very neatly, and the path in the middle attracts countless people to take pictures here. Most of the Burmese girls are holding flowers in their hands and wearing bright ethnic costumes. It is very attractive to the camera, very spectacular and beautiful, and it is worth seeing!

    Before you come, it is best to look at the background information, otherwise it is easy to despise the true value of this temple: the Scriptures passed from the mouth of the world to the south and the north are true and false, only everyone can gather to argue and argue. In that era of extremely inconvenient traffic gathered Southeast Asian monks to argue the law for several years, and finally carved the true scripture on the stone for eternal life, such a Buddhist holy place, the whole world only such a place.

    Walking into the neatly arranged Gudu Tao Pagoda with white pagodas, I feel a vast momentum. This momentum comes not from the tall and magnificent main Pagoda in the center, but from the small white pagoda around the main pagoda. Not a few, dozens, but more than 700 people are arranged neatly in the sunshine. Although such a spectacular team of architects is a masterpiece of modern man-made, it is still very rare to carry forward religion in such a grand way. It's barefoot shoes and socks. Walking along the long corridor of carved beams and paintings, the neat pagoda is like a neat procession of guests in the sunshine, but few people come up to see their close-up in detail. Looking at the introduction of the scenic spots, we know that these so-called white pagodas contain stone tablets carved with Buddhist scriptures. Their names should accurately be called Gongde Steles. In 1875, about 2,400 monks completed the fifth restoration of Buddhist scriptures in human history. At the same time, the final scriptures were carved on 729 stone tablets. These white pagodas were built for these stone tablets and arranged neatly and orderly at the foot of Mount Mandalay. Therefore, there are some pictures hanging on the corridor, introducing the moments of this historic moment, some believers are looking at those pictures in great detail. We walked along the corridor to the big Buddhist Pagoda in the center. The magnificent main pagoda was very ordinary surrounded by 729 small white monuments of merit and virtue. It is the Buddha statue in the niche in front of the pagoda. It is very kind against the changing background of the modern color wheel. Many local people worship it. There are shrines around the pagoda, but the southern one is the most brilliant. Because the East and North corridors are not open to traffic, and the West corridors are not many visitors, so the shrines correspondingly have some coldness. Around the Great Buddhist Pagoda, we approached the Buddhist scriptures and stone tablets in a small white pagoda nearby. We still admired the profound Buddhist culture and people's piety.

    Gudu Tao Buddhist Pagoda is famous for its white pagodas containing scriptures. Each white pagoda is inscribed with stone tablets. It is known as the largest book in the world. The exterior door and wall pillars of the hall are equipped with exquisite carvings, dense and dazzling.

    The highlight here, of course, is the 729 white small Buddhist pagodas, each with a stone tablet, consisting of 15 Sanzang Sutras! I do not count whether there are 729 Buddhist pagodas, anyway, the inscriptions on the stone tablets are neither Chinese nor English, and I can not read them! But looking at them, I feel very magnificent, if I can read them, I do not know how to read the year of monkeys and horses!
