Kaba Aye Pagoda
When we entered the inside hall of the pagoda praying people were every where around and offering us to join the meditation.
The pagoda has an history:
On August 29, 1961, the Parliament announced that Buddhism was the official state religion, mainly as a result of U Nu’s (the first Prime Minister of Burma) efforts. Cow slaughtering was officially banned in Burma. However, in 1962 Ne Win, a former Burmese politician and military commander, who succeeded U Nu, repealed this measure and the effort to make Burma a Buddhist country was effectively halted. The construction of the Kaba Aye complex was part of U Nu’s attempt to institutionalize Buddhism at the national level.
