Summary

It’s an almost unearthly sight. It doesn’t seem possible that these constructions could have been built by the hands of man. You will find these pagodas in Myanmar, upon the lakes, in caves deep within the mountains. The layers of stone that comprise them stand for a thousand years of the death and rebirth of the people, and of the mercy of the Buddha. Be they big or small, each and every pagoda is a manifestation of someone’s desire for enlightenment. And this desire, passed down from father to son and mother to daughter for generations, is still as strong today as ever.
The populace of this nation is 90% Buddhist, and for them praying before the Buddha is part of everyday life. This is Myanmar, the earthly home of the spirit of Buddha.

The origin of the Buddhist tradition can be found a thousand years back in history of Myanmar, with one great king. And then, ten years after he first took the throne, Anawrahta was to have a fateful encounter with a man who would shape not only his own life, but also the future of his kingdom. The man named Shin Arahan was a follower of Theravada Buddhism, and had come from Thaton in the south. And it was at that moment that Anawrahta, upon hearing his teachings for the first time, converted to Buddhism himself. The meeting of these two men presaged the change that was to sweep the entire Bagan nation.
To ensure the spread of the new Buddhism, what the king needed more than anything was a systematic new religious order. And ordination would be at the heart of it. From now on, anyone wishing to become a monk would have to undergo training, which meant being supervised by an official while learning the ways of mendicant monastic life. Chief Monk Arahan created a series of temples across the nation that dispensed such confirmation, and worked to systematize the methods and time frames for the induction and training process. In this way, a formal Buddhist council coalesced across Bagan.
Just as Buddhism was being spread at home, so too were wars of conquest being successfully carried out abroad. Anawrahta, an ambitious and excellent soldier, began subduing the outlying tribes with Kyansittha, his courageous general. With each successive foray, the pair gradually expanded the borders of the Bagan kingdom. Bagan was the earliest unified kingdom of Myanmar.
However, not everything was to go Anawrahta’s way.

In 1071, as the wars of unification were drawing to a close, General Kyansittha was returning home to Bagan after having successfully defended Bago from invading forces. As a token of gratitude for his help, the king of Bago sent his daughter Khin U to Anawrahta as a gift. It was Kyansittha’s sworn duty to escort her safely to king Anawrahta, but instead he fell in love with her.
He had been the king’s comrade all through the wars of unification, and was also his right arm. But he couldn’t forgive Kyansittha for coveting the woman who’d been promised to him. That day, Anawrahta lost his most trusted companion. And Kyansittha became banished from the kingdom of Bagan.
But then, in the year 1077, Anawrahta departed the earthly sphere. Upon his death, Anawrahta’s son, Sawlu, ascended the throne, but could not achieve peace in the kingdom. Just as the chaos seemed as though it would never end, Kyansittha returned from his exile to quell the rebellions. During the civil uprising, King Sawlu was killed, which meant that war hero Kyansittha became the third king of Bagan.
It had been 14 years since Kyansittha was banished from his homeland over a love that could not be. Even so, he did not blame Anawrahta for his actions. He had been reunited with his long-lost love, and stood to take over Anawrahta’s life work. Both Anawrahta and Kyansittha dreamed of turning Bagan into a Buddhist nation, and it seems that this is just what history demanded of them. As a new king, Kyansittha faced the task of bringing even greater stability and prosperity than his predecessor.

It is said that a new pagoda was finished every 10 days in the Bagan kingdom. During the time of the Bagan kingdom, a total of 4,500 pagodas were built. And if ever so many temples were constructed during the Bagan Era, then number of individuals involved becomes unfathomable. And it also ensured greater productivity than in other contemporary nations, where labor was extracted as a form of taxation. Thanks to the good high wages, Bagan managed to attract laborers and skilled artisans alike from near and far. As a result of the economic prosperity generated by pagoda construction, Bagan became one of the wealthiest kingdoms in history.
The people believed that everything took place under the watchful eye of the Buddha. The pagodas where the focal point of their entire lives. This was where they poured out their hopes and fears, and where they held their joyous festivals.
The pagodas that stud the fields of Old Bagan are no mere relics of the past. They are none other than the power that helped forge a kingdom, and the dream held by those who would create a Buddhist paradise on earth. These pagodas reached ever higher in accordance with the people’s desire to garner virtue, and they have endured a millennium of wishes for enlightenment.
To this day, they contain the spirit of the people who built them, and this spirit is a force which we would do well to carry with us into the future.
