Maymyo : Maha Ant Htoo Kan Thar Pagoda

Maha Ant Htoo Kan Thar Pagoda

 

There was three marble Buddha Images sculpted in Mandalay were being transported to their planned destination in China. On this journey, one of the Buddha statues fell down from the truck and could not be reloaded due to its weight. After many attempts, this Image was left behind and the other two were taken on their way. 

A local Buddhist monk decided he would try faith. He sat for 7 days on this image and preached to the locals and recited teachings of Buddha. After 7 days the image was apparently easily lifted and placed in its current location and the local people built a pagoda as an offering to Buddha.

现在开始!

现在开始!


也许,我们觉得我们拥有很多时间。。
也许,我们觉得我们拥有健康。。


但是,当不善的果报要来时,因果要成熟时,许多不善业跟着来,。。
你还有时间吗? 你还有健康,种种条件和承担力吗?


希望我们能时时醒思,在还有时间,健康,条件,承担力,。。时,继续累计更多的善业,让我们拥有更多的条件,承担力,去面对无常的考验。


希望我们能时时醒思,在还有时间,健康,条件,承担力,。。时,感恩,欢喜,善用所拥有的一切。


包括包容,善解,我们的家人,孩子,亲戚,朋友。。
