  • AROUND MANDALAY You Cansnoopaboutpottery Factories
    © Lonely Planet Publications 276 Around Mandalay What puts Mandalay on most travellers’ maps looms outside its doors – former capitals with battered stupas and palace walls lost in palm-rimmed rice fields where locals scoot by in slow-moving horse carts. Most of it is easy day-trip potential. In Amarapura, for-hire rowboats drift by a three-quarter-mile teak-pole bridge used by hundreds of monks and fishers carrying their day’s catch home. At the canal-made island capital of Inwa (Ava), a flatbed ferry then a horse cart leads visitors to a handful of ancient sites surrounded by village life. In Mingun – a boat ride up the Ayeyarwady (Irrawaddy) from Mandalay – steps lead up a battered stupa more massive than any other…and yet only a AROUND MANDALAY third finished. At one of Myanmar’s most religious destinations, Sagaing’s temple-studded hills offer room to explore, space to meditate and views of the Ayeyarwady. Further out of town, northwest of Mandalay in Sagaing District, are a couple of towns – real ones, the kind where wide-eyed locals sometimes slip into approving laughter at your mere presence – that require overnight stays. Four hours west of Mandalay, Monywa is near a carnivalesque pagoda and hundreds of cave temples carved from a buddha-shaped moun- tain; further east, Shwebo is further off the travelways, a stupa-filled town where Myanmar’s last dynasty kicked off; nearby is Kyaukmyaung, a riverside town devoted to pottery, where you can snoop about pottery factories.

  • Burmese Buddhist Imagery of the Early Bagan Period (1044 – 1113) Buddhism Is an Integral Part of Burmese Culture
    Burmese Buddhist Imagery of the Early Bagan Period (1044 – 1113) 2 Volumes By Charlotte Kendrick Galloway A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University November 2006 ii Declaration I declare that to the best of my knowledge, unless where cited, this thesis is my own original work. Signed: Date: Charlotte Kendrick Galloway iii Acknowledgments There are a number of people whose assistance, advice and general support, has enabled me to complete my research: Dr Alexandra Green, Dr Bob Hudson, Dr Pamela Gutman, Dick Richards, Dr Tilman Frasch, Sylvia Fraser- Lu, Dr Royce Wiles, Dr Don Stadtner, Dr Catherine Raymond, Prof Michael Greenhalgh, Ma Khin Mar Mar Kyi, U Aung Kyaing, Dr Than Tun, Sao Htun Hmat Win, U Sai Aung Tun and Dr Thant Thaw Kaung. I thank them all, whether for their direct assistance in matters relating to Burma, for their ability to inspire me, or for simply providing encouragement. I thank my colleagues, past and present, at the National Gallery of Australia and staff at ANU who have also provided support during my thesis candidature, in particular: Ben Divall, Carol Cains, Christine Dixon, Jane Kinsman, Mark Henshaw, Lyn Conybeare, Margaret Brown and Chaitanya Sambrani. I give special mention to U Thaw Kaung, whose personal generosity and encouragement of those of us worldwide who express a keen interest in the study of Burma's rich cultural history, has ensured that I was able to achieve my own personal goals. There is no doubt that without his assistance and interest in my work, my ability to undertake the research required would have been severely compromised – thank you.

  • Pitu Sangha Raja: Post-Bagan Relations Between the Sangha and the King
    1 Pitu Sangha Raja: Post-Bagan Relations between the Sangha and the King Mo Mo Thant Professor, Dr, Head of Department, Department of History, Yangon University of Distance Education 2 ABSTRACT The relations of the fifteenth century monk Pitu Sangha Raja with other members of the Sangha promoted the Sasana and helped to develop the weakened economy after the decline of Bagan. Pitu Sangha Raja recorded his efforts and achievements on three inscriptions, each with two faces erected Between 1439 and 1441 CE (ME 801 and 803). The Sangha Raja (Supreme head of the Order) title appears to have Been proposed By himself, with the inscriptions recording acknowledgment By Sanghas who took part in his donation ceremony near Bagan and Pitu village, Sagaing Region. The detailed figures in the inscriptions provide a good record of the actual transactions of land purchases in the early post- Bagan period. Pitu Sangha Raja Bought cultivated or cultivaBle lands and toddy tree farms for pagodas and monasteries. The toddy farms provided an ample supply of food and money for the monks in these monasteries. The inscriptions record how this renowned monk, teacher and diplomat, honoured those helping to maintain his charities in cash and kind. In Both his actions and inscriptions therefore, Pitu Sangha Raja provides valuaBle information on religious and political events of the fifteenth century. Figure 1 Pithu Zigon (Padu Shwe Zigon) (Photo U Ni Tut) Introduction Stone inscriptions show that Shin Thadamaponnathra ရွင္သဓမပုညေထရ္ (a) Pitu Sangha Raja (1342-1445) was influential over a wide area, from the villages surrounding his Birthplace of Pitu Khatkha ပဒူခက္ခ village north of Sagaing to Salingyi Township of Bagi Taik, Monywa District.

  • Project Completion Report Within Six (6) Months After Project Completion, and the Final Project Progress Report (PPR) Is Considered As a Project Completion Report
    Project Completion Summary In accordance with the project agreement, implementing entities are required to submit a project completion report within six (6) months after Project completion, and the final project progress report (PPR) is considered as a project completion report. While the PPRs meet technical requirements, the information is reported by year and its format is not ideal to convey the overall information and knowledge to wider and more general audiences. To supplement this, implementing entities are requested to prepare a project completion summary. A project completion summary is intended to cover an entire project life in a reader friendly format by compiling submitted single-year PPRs. It also gives implementing entities an opportunity to express and share insights from project implementation, findings, challenges etc. which may not be presented by PPRs and captured by a final evaluation report. A project completion summary consists of narrative information (Section A) and financial information (Section B). Any other information (Section C) can be added to the report as an option. Most of the contents can be filled in by copy-and-paste from the submitted PPRs. The completion report should be no more than 20 pages (excluding annexes). 1 Project Completion Summary Section A: Project result and performance 1.

  • WESTERN MYANMAR 311 Ngapali Beach © Lonely Planet Publications Planet Lonely © Chin State Mrauk U Paya Mahamuni
    © Lonely Planet Publications 311 Western Myanmar Stretching 600km head to toe, slender Rakhaing (Arakan) State makes up the bulk of this enigmatic area of Myanmar that boasts both the country’s finest midrange beach resort and the biggest ancient city apart from Bagan. Just inland are the way-remote, restricted-to- travellers areas of Chin State where locals are more linked with the peoples and traditions of neighbouring Bangladesh than with those of Myanmar. The whole area is cut off from the Ayeyarwady River and central plain of Myanmar by the impressive Rakhaing Yoma (Arakan Mountain Range), meaning limited road connections are rather adventurous to navigate. Historically, locals here have, unsurprisingly, looked more to the sea than inland to the Myanmar people. And it still feels a little that way. In Ngapali Beach increasing numbers of travellers are flying in to plop onto a quiet patch of the 3km stretch of palm-backed sand on the turquoise Bay of Bengal. Further north, reached via the port town of Sittwe, Mrauk U is the country’s second-most-impressive ar- WESTERN MYANMAR chaeological site after Bagan. Here angular hillocks are dotted with half-a-millennium-old temples amid a sprawling thatched-hut village. The Rakhaing people add a different slant to any Myanmar trip. Conversations are often more direct and open than elsewhere, and are usually peppered with endearing, ever-proud (sometimes exaggerated) claims of how their ancestors instilled the language and Buddhist religion in Myanmar. And then there’s the food – just-caught squid or tiger prawns, plus spicier curries and noodles – which is just better than most of the food around the country.
