🇲🇲Shwezigon Pagoda of Bagan has an interesting legend. It's built by King Anawrahta, the founder of the great Pagan Dynasty in the 11th century.
According to the legend, King Anawrahta selected the site for building this pagoda by sending a white elephant mounted with a frontal bone relic of the Buddha to roam freely with the declaration that wherever the elephant stopped would be the site for building the pagoda. The elephant finally stopped over a dune which was chosen as the site for erecting the pagoda, and hence the name Shewzigon pagoda meaning "pagoda on a dune" in Burmese.
It looks really golden, but the monetary value is quite different from Shwedagon in Yangon. This is covered by copper, not gold.
One can easily get pagoda overdosed in ancient city Bagan, as it has thousands of 8 to 10 centuries old stupas and temples all over the place. But this gigantic golden structure is indeed quite impressive @ Bagan, Myanmar

relic meaning 在 林輝:旅遊寫作人 Facebook 的最佳解答
還是想知那本《無敵大衛》的內容是甚麼。。。
旅行之間多讀書 - 最近買到一本書,書名叫做:無敵大衛及其古亞美尼亞文《亞里士多德〈前分析篇〉評註》研究。我敢大膽地肯定,光憑這套上兩層書名號的繞口標題,百分之九十九的讀者都不會知道這是本什麼書。所以買下這本書,並不是因為自己學問大,對這麼冷門的領域感興趣;恰恰相反,我就屬於那百分之九十九完全搞不懂這個書名的讀者陣營。雖然我喜歡亞里士多德,可我沒有讀過《前分析篇》,更沒有聽過「無敵大衛」這麼無敵的名字,就別說他用古亞美尼亞文寫的《前分析篇》評註了。但是這個書名就像扣中了某個開關,一見到它,翻了幾頁,我便毫不猶豫地抱住了它。說來可笑,原因只不過是我很想去亞美尼亞,所以只要見到任何一本和亞美尼亞有關的書,我大概都會把它買下來,覺得它會有助於我那不知何時方得實現的旅行。你知道誰是「無敵大衛」,難道會使你在亞美尼亞的行程變得更加方便、有趣,而且豐富嗎?這,我倒沒有想過。
這就是書呆子的處世方式,總是以為世上一切還沒有提出過的問題,書裏早都有了答案。他出門旅行,最重要的問題不是應急藥物有沒有備全,不是換洗衣物是否足以應對各種場合,而是書夠不夠看(還好現在有了Kindle,半夜兩點都能隨時隨地買到想看的書,讓人安穩)。就連他為什麼想去某個地方遊覽,緣起也都和書有關。
我第一次動念要去亞美尼亞,就是因為看了波蘭大作家卡普欽斯基(Ryszard Kapuscinski)的《帝國》(Imperium),他筆下的「亞美尼亞手稿資料館」(Matenadaran)是這樣的:
In Matenadaran one can see the ancient books of the Armenians. To me they are doubly inaccessible: they lie in cabinets behind glass, and I do not know how to read them. I ask Vanik if he understands them. Yes and no, for he can read the letters but cannot discern the meaning. The alphabet has remained the same for fifteen centuries, but the language has changed. The Armenian walks into Matenadaran like a Muslim into Mecca. It is the end of his pilgrimage; he is moved, overwhelmed. In Armenian history, the book was the national relic. The comrade who is our guide(so beautiful!)says in a hushed voice that many of the manuscripts that we see were saved at the cost of human life. There are pages stained with blood here. There are books that for years lay hidden in the ground, in the crevices of rocks. Armenians buried them in the same way defeated armies bury their banners. They were recovered without difficulty: information about their hiding places had been handed down from generation to generation……
Armenians have a measure of time different from ours. They experienced their first partition2,500 years ago. Their renaissance occurred in the fourth century of our era. They accepted Christianity seven centuries earlier than we. Ten centuries before us they started to write in their own language……
我想這是一個任何書呆子都抵擋不住的誘惑。原來這個世界上還有這樣一個古老文明,人們崇拜古籍有如聖跡,古抄本文獻館就是他們的聖地。然後我又找到了其他的書,讓我一窺公元四世紀亞美尼亞「黃金時代」的風華,原來他們從那時候開始就有了自己的泥金裝飾手抄本,而且和西歐的風格完全不同。另一本書則告訴我,這個國家曾經是歐亞大陸的知識寶庫,書籍生產與流通的重鎮,早已消失在其他地方的古代文書皆有可能在此覓得。於是我的想像越加立體,似乎在我還不知道何時方能踏足這片土地之前,我就已經藉着幾本書構築了屬於我自己的亞美尼亞。
問題是既然你已擁有一座你腦海中的共和國,你還真的有必要動身勘察那具體存在於這個世上的現實主權國家嗎?今天這個時代,讀萬卷書,或者上一萬次網,是真有可能取代行萬里路的。所有你要去的地方,都已經有人去過了,他們拍回來無數照片、影像,他們寫下了各式各樣容或自相矛盾的描述與感慨,一切盡在你指掌之間,一點就開。卧遊豈不可以取代真實的行程?另一個常見的問題是,看了那麼多的圖像和文字之後,你會不會因此喪失最直觀的感受,被他人左右你對一個地方的切實認知。
這本來都是些不必要回答的問題,因為它們天真,不是太過相信他人的眼睛,就是以為自己未經反省未經訓練的眼光真是「自己」的。不過,我們也可以因此天真地回答:看了書,不去印證,怎麼知道書裏說的是真是假?
印證是要冒險的,甚至以生命為代價。
詹宏志在《旅行與讀書》裏頭談過他自己的經歷。在一次瑞士少女峰附近的旅行,他被隨身攜帶的旅行指南上的一段話吸引住了:「全瑞士最美麗的景致出現在少女峰區域,……人們的注意力太常聚集在當中的三個巨峰:少女峰(Jungfrau,4158公尺)、僧侶峰(Monch,4099公尺),和艾格峰(Eiger,3970公尺);……但閃閃發光的皓首雪峰只是一半的真相,鄰近山丘與溪谷以綠色、棕色、金色交織而成的景色其實更為美麗……。」敏銳的讀者詹宏志在這段描述讀出了言外之意:「只知道遊覽少女峰的旅客並非真的『行家』,懂得在『鄰近山丘與溪谷』尋求旅遊目的地的人才是真正懂得這個區域的隱藏之美。怎麼辦?照這樣說,我也即將變成一個『外行人』。」
正如所有旅人,絕對不甘只當外行觀光客,他決定一探那「山丘與溪谷」之間的隱密聖境。又像一切書呆子,他在書中尋找線索,找到了一條語焉不詳、標識不明的文字通道。沒想到,接下來卻是一次差點有去無回的絕境穿行。

Today Morning after breakfast we will drive to visit Mebar Tsho - the Burning Lake. According to the legend Terton Pema Lingpa had a vision of the sacred treasures that Guru Rimpoche had hidden within the lake centuries earlier. However the people of Tang and the local ruler were cynical of his claims. In order to prove his claims, Pema Lingpa held a butter lamp in his hand as he jumped into the lake. After remaining under water for a long time he re-emerged holding a chest and a scroll of paper with the butter lamp held in his hand still burning bright. Thereafter, the lake came to be known as Mebartsho (the burning Lake).
The Burning Lake, Mebar Tsho is located along the way to the Tang village ,over the feeder road under Bumthang valley. It takes approximately thirty minutes drive to the Mebar Tsho from Chamkhar town.
Mebar Tsho is considered one of the most sacred sites in the region as it is related to the renowned religious treasure reveler (Terton) Terton Pema Lingpa. Pema Lingpa is considered an incarnated disciple of Padmasambhava who discovered treasure within the lake in late 15th century.
Today this small fresh water lake is a sacred pilgrimage site for the Bhutanese with bright multicolored prayer flags surrounding it and a small altar dedicated to Terton Pema Lingpa has also been set up. On auspicious days people offer butter lamps at the lake. Many tourist visit the site to observe spectacular beauty of this important historical and religious site.

The main relic of the two-storied temple is a magnificent statue of Guru Rimpoche. The monastery is decorated with murals of the Nyingmapa and Drukpa traditions. There are also paintings of Guru Rimpoche and his disciples, the lineage of Terton Pema Lingpa, and several Buddhist masters affiliated with the monastery.
One of the most important festivals held at the Lhakhang is the Kaling Zhitro Drubchen. It was initiated by Doring Trulku and he was the first person to have started the rite in Bhutan. It is held on the first fifteen days of the first month of the Bhutanese calendar.

During the Tshechu an awe-inspiring Thongdrol (gigantic scroll painting) of Guru Rimpoche is put on display for attendees. The Thongdrol is nine meters long and twelve meters wide and in addition to inspiring wonder is said to cleanse the sins of all those who look upon it. The Thongdrol which was donated by Lopen Pemala and was consecrated in June 1994 in the presence of a large crowd of villagers by Lhalung Thuksey Rimpoche, the reincarnation of mental aspect of Pema Lingpa.

The history of the temples at Kurjey is associated with Sindhu Raja and Guru Rimpoche. Sindhu Raja invited Guru Rimpoche from Nepal to Bhutan to subdue some evil spirits that had been plaguing the land. Upon invitation, Guru Rimpoche visited Bumthang and meditated in a cave that resembled a pile of Dorjis (stylized thunderbolt used for Buddhist rituals). After subduing the evil spirits and demons, imprints of the Guru’s body remained in the rock face. Thereafter, the name came to be known as Kurjey meaning - “Imprint of the body”. The Lhakhang is now a blessed site of great historical significance.
There are three main temples at Kurjey. The oldest temple was constructed on the site where Guru Rimpoche meditated by Minjur Tenpa the first Trongsa Penlop (Governor of Trongsa) in 1652.
The second temple was founded by Gongsar Ugyen Wangchuck (1st King) in 1900 while serving as the 13th Trongsa Penlop. This temple is the most sacred as it was built in the place where Guru Rimpoche left his body imprint.
The third temple was built in the 1990s. It was sponsored by the Queen Mother Ashi Kezang Choden Wangchuck. It houses the images of Guru Rimpoche, King Thrisong Detsen and Pandit Santarakshita.
In front of the temples are Chortens dedicated to the first three kings of Bhutan.
The Kurjey festival is an important occasion not only for the local people of Bumthang but for all Bhutanese. The festival brings together tourists and Bhutanese from all over as it presents the perfect occasion to not only receive blessings by witnessing age-old mask dances but also to enjoy this unique culture whilst basking in the natural beauty of Bhutan’s spiritual heartland.
