The Buddha image in the LAW-KA-MANN-RA-ZEIN Pagoda (PHA-YAR-GYEE). LAW-KA-MANN-RA-ZEIN Pagoda is the landmark of my town. Also known as SHWE TAUNG SARR (Pagoda) because it was donated by The Mayor of SHWE TAUNG MYO (Shwe Taung Sarr).

A dragon lying at the entrance of Pagoda. DRAGON is symbol of POWER and PROTECTION in our country.
|
BANYAN TREE BUDDHA IMAGE: Every pagoda in Burma has a Buddha image called Banyan Tree Image. Because our lord Buddha (GAW-DA-MA) transformed into BUDDHA under BANYAN TREE.
|
WATER POTS AROUND BANYAN TREE: Pilgrimages and people who come to pray normally pours WATER to the Banyan Tree believing that the water they pour will let the tree grow and gives SHADE to our LORD BUDDHA.
|
People donate WATER POTS to have Blessings from Lord Buddha.

A piece of Religious Painting on the CEILING.

When he saw me with a camera, he ran to me and requested me to give him some shoots. Lolz. So, I asked him to do some funny acts. He said he couldn't. An INNOCENT KID from my town.
|
He couldn't be enough with one shot. When he saw his own image on my LCD, he said "what about one more?" Here it is!! The second shot for the same guy.
|
The STANDING STATUE of my town. This image is 27 yards (81 feet) above the ground. Situated in the downtown. According to the records, it is the THIRD HIGHEST STANDING STATUE countrywide.
|
The uniqueness of this standing statue is "UMBRELLA". Other standing statues rarely have this kind of gigantic umbrella.
|
Closer Look.
|
Philosophy of LIGHT. Believe me or not. CANDLE LIGHT is the most charming light for my life.
|
When you feel STRESS, light-up some CANDLES and look at BLAZE. It indeed makes your mind COOL.
|
The Phenomenon of DECAYING and RUIN. It reflects our LIVES. This is my superb MACRO SHOT. I can't stop loving this shot. I am using this shot as WALLPAPER on my laptop.
|
These 3 candles are dedicated to BUDDHA, HIS TEACHINGS and HIS SCHOLARS. In our religion, we normally refer these as 3 JEWELS. That's the reason people normally offer 3 candles, 3 cups of water at pagoda and temples.
