  • Ageless Cities of Time
    AGELESS CITIES OF TIME 1 INTRODUCTION The ancient cities in Myanmar are a wonder to behold as they still retain their striking beauty of timeless buildings, despite being worn by age and time. Several iconic landmarks present in these cities hold historical value that tells a story of the rise and fall of the kingdom, the glory of a capital, and the spread of Theravada Buddhism within the nation. You will discover much in these cities; from temples erected thousands of years ago, a township with excavated archaeological sites, and the prominence of Myanmar’s changing capitals, this is a land with an exciting history to tell. You’ll be taken in wonder as you visit all of Myanmar’s ancient civilisations and learn how the origins and history that led to the developing nation we see today. 2 PYU CITIES The Pyu Cities comprise of Halin, Beikthano and Sri Kestra. These sites have been excavated and are part of the Pyu Kingdom, which stretched from Tagaung in the north to the Ayeyarwady River and to south of present-day Daw. History During 832CE, the Pyu kingdom was attacked by an army of Nanzhao who kidnapped 3,000 citizens and took them away. The remaining citizens left behind went on to blend with the rest of Bamar society, which settled along the upper Ayeyarwady banks by the end of 800CE. Highlights Sri Kestra was excavated in 1926 and there was relic chambers that were discovered to hold a twenty-page Buddhist manuscript and gilded Buddha images. There were also three pagodas: Payama, Payagyi and Bawbawgyi that points to Sri Kestra being a centre for early Buddhism in Myanmar.

  • Buddhism in the Late Konbaung Period(1819-1885)
    BUDDHISM IN THE LATE KONBAUNG PERIOD(1819-1885) PhD DISSERTATION KO KO NAING DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY UNIVERSITY OF MANDALAY MYANMAR JUNE, 2010 BUDDHISM IN THE LATE KONBAUNG PERIOD(1819-1885) University of Mandalay BUDDHISM IN THE LATE KONBAUNG PERIOD(1819-1885) A Dissertation Submitted to the University of Mandalay In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in History Department of History Ko Ko Naing 4 PhD(R)-Hist-22 Mandalay, Myanmar June, 2010 ABSTRACT This paper is an analysis of Buddhism in the late Konbaung Period. How Buddhism was introduced into Myanmar is discussed. How the Myanmars professed a mixture of Buddhism and their traditional beliefs is explained. Among the seven kings who supported the Religion in Myanmar, two—Kings Badon and Mindon—reigned in the late Konbaung Period. King Badon’s personal views and progressive ideas concerning the Religion are touched upon. How the kings purified the Religion partly to facilitate their rule is discussed. The monks formed separate sects in the late Konbaung period even though they did not differ from one another in robes, literature, doctrine or goal. However, the kings’ support was important for a sect to stand on its own. In the late Konbaung Period, the Fifth Buddhist Synod, which was the first Buddhist Synod held in Myanmar, was convened. That the Buddhist synod convened by King Mindon was not necessary for the Religion and that he convened it only to defy the British who had annexed Lower Myanmar and to assume the title Pyinsama Thangayanatin Mintaya (the Convener of the Fifth Buddhist Synod) are discussed.

Sept 1991 Please refer Graphical Image No: V1N3.1.1 B.D.C.(U) Ltd Dhamma Chakra Logo & Woodblock print of Long Life Endless Knot EDITORIAL Towards the preservation of the Sangha With the Rainy Season upon us again, we are delighted a Venerable Mahathero Bhikkhu has agreed to accept our Directors' invitation to reside at this Centre for this time. Such events depend on prior causes. This Australian born Editor is well content to be living in a Centre where good causes arise within the hearts of Members. These Members labour to sustain the necessary infrastructure conditions at this place to make it a suitable location for the Sangha to develop their Buddhist Practice during the Rainy Season. With the approach of the year 2000 C.E., it is sobering to consider the changes that have occurred and are occurring this century in the faring of the Sangha's position in many other Countries. When the overall world situation is reviewed over the last century there are many apparent gains. One great gain is the availability of Buddhist texts in many languages. As the Venerable Bhikkhu Nanamoli noted, the Jesuit missionary, Filippo Desideri, brought back a long and accurate account both of the Buddha's life and his doctrine from Tibet in the first quarter of the l8th. century: it remained unpublished for two hundred years. Other accounts fared likewise. By contrast, China, since the invention of printing under the Sung (960-1127), had a long history of timely Buddhist publication.

  • A Study of Monastic Education in Burma and Thailand from the Seventeenth Century to the Present
    Between Idealism and Pragmatism A Study of Monastic Education in Burma and Thailand from the Seventeenth Century to the Present Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (D. Phil) In the Faculty of Oriental Studies University of Oxford By Khammai Dhammasami St. Anne’s College Trinity term 2004 Between Idealism and Pragmatism A Study of Monastic Education in Burma and Thailand from the Seventeenth Century to the Present Khammai Dhammasami St. Anne’s College Oxford University Thesis submitted for D.Phil Trinity term 2004 Abstract There has been in recent decades an increased academic interest in the Sangha, the community of monks, in Burma and Thailand. However, monastic education is still often misunderstood there, particularly in the context of the relationship between the Sangha and the monarchy. The introduction by the king of monastic formal examinations has simply been assumed to be evidence of royal devotion towards the Order, which was perceived to be in decline and was therefore in need of royal intervention. This thesis attempts to reveal the complex relationship between the Sangha and the kings on the question of monastic education, arguing that the need for a monarch to control his people during war led him to interfere in monastic education. It also examines the Sangha’s inability to define the objectives of its education systems. A large part of the thesis is devoted to reconstructing the historical process by looking at the impact of geopolitical developments on teaching methods. The thesis consists of six chapters. Chapter One introduces monastic education, its current problems and the conflict between idealists and pragmatists within the Sangha.

  • Elephant Wars and Theravada Buddhism in Mainland Seasia 11
    Elephant Wars and Theravada Buddhism on Mainland Southeast Asia Kings of mainland Southeast Asian mandalas espoused Theravada Buddhism, bore similar titles which emphasized the legitimizing influence of white elephants, but fought a series of wars between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. Myanmar in the Postclassic When Minkyiswa Sawke died, Mingaung (r. 1401-22) assumed the Inwa throne and re-established contact with Bago. Mingaung and Rajadhiraj’s exchanges were described in Burmese chronicles as an example of cordial and competitive relations between two political equals.1 Rajadhiraj unified Lower Myanmar by conquering Bassein and Martaban. He also attacked Arakan.2 His military and political talents pitted him against Mingaung of Inwa. In Inwa, the reign of Narapati (1443-69), who sponsored the Htupayon Pagoda, marked the peak of Inwa’s cultural, military, political and religious development. Trade, especially in porcelain and rubies with China and Sri Lanka, flourished during his reign. In the reign of the next king, Mingaung the Second (r. 1481-1502), Minkyinyo, a myosa or official in charge of Taungngu, rebelled and founded a new dynasty. Bago also experienced religious and cultural development under the capable leadership of Shin Saw Bu (a queen, r. 1453-72) and Dhammazedi (r. 1472-92). Shin Saw Bu was the only female ruler in Myanmar history to reign in her own right, and Dhammazedi’s reform of the sangha was recorded in his Kalyani inscriptions.3 Art and religion flourished in Lower Myanmar among a population which was largely composed of Mon speakers. While ethnicity was a marker of identity between the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries, relations between polities were affected by many factors and not predicated on ethnicity.
