Shwegugyi Temple

The Shwegugyi Temple (Burmese: ရွှေဂူကြီး ဘုရား, pronounced [ʃwèɡùdʑí pʰəjá]; literally, "Great Golden Cave") is a Theravadin Buddhist temple in Bagan, Myanmar. The temple is recognized as Monument #1589 in the Bagan Archeological Area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Located just to the southeast of what apparently were the ruins of the former royal palace founded by King Kyansittha (r. 1084–1113), the temple was built by King Sithu I of Pagan (Bagan) in 1131. According to the stone inscriptions at the temple, set up in 1141, construction work on the temple began on 17 May 1331, and was completed on 17 December 1331. Built on an expansive 3 m (9.8 ft) tall brick foundation, the temple is known for its arched windows, and fine stucco and carved wooden doors in the interior.

Shwegûgyi

Le temple Shwegugyi (birman ရ္ဝ္ဟေဂူက္ရီး ; littéralement "Grande cave d'Or") est un temple bouddhiste de Bagan construit sous le règne d'Alaungsithu en 1131. Le temple, qui repose sur une haute plate-forme de briques, est orienté vers le nord et on y accède par une volée de marches à l'angle nord-ouest. La salle et le couloir intérieur qui entoure la masse centrale sont tous deux dotés de portes et de fenêtres ouvertes qui laissent passer librement la lumière et l'air. Les arcades, les pilastres, les plinthes et les corniches sont ornés de fines sculptures en stuc. L'histoire du temple est consignée sur deux dalles de pierre placées dans les murs intérieurs. L'inscription lithique en vers est célèbre pour le style et l'élégance de sa composition. Il est mentionné que le temple a été achevé en 7 mois. Son pilier central, peu épais, est creusé de 4 niches abritant des statues de Bouddha. Le couloir pourtourant est large, bien éclairé par quatre portes et six fenêtres. L'ensemble est surmonté par un haut sikhara (tour-sanctuaire) et un petit stûpa. Le roi Alaungsithu se fit transporter dans ce temple au cours de sa dernière maladie, et c'est là que son fils Narathu l'étouffa (1167) pour prendre le pouvoir.

Moscos Islands

The Moscos Islands are an island chain in the Andaman Sea off the northern coast of the Tanintharyi Region of southern Myanmar. The islands are administered from the Dawei District of the Taninthayi Division. No tourism is allowed on any of the islands. Geography This 70 km long island chain is located on average around 15 km from the shore. The total combined area of dry land on the Moscos Islands is 49.19 km2. The islands are uninhabited, but fishermen from nearby coastal locations stay in temporary settlements on certain islands during the dry season. Traditionally these people have been engaging in fishing, timber felling and collection of sea turtle eggs, swiftlet nests and forest products. Ecology Generally all islands are covered in thick forest and they rise steeply from rocky shores. The small steep rocky islets are important as nesting places for the edible-nest swiftlets (Aerodramus fuciphagus). The beaches are breeding grounds for different species of sea turtles. In 1924, during colonial times, the whole archipelago was declared a game preserve and in 1927 a wildlife sanctuary; even then local people went to the islands to collect large numbers of turtle eggs. Presently the whole island group is a protected area, the Moscos Islands Wildlife Sanctuary. Officially there is a limit to the number of eggs and swiftlet nests that are allowed to be collected. Islands There are four distinct groups or clusters of islands in the chain: North Moscos Heinze Islands 14°24′N 97°46′E, a group of four islands and one islet named after the Heinze River, the mouth of which is located about 25 km to the NNE. Heinze Bok, the largest island is 3.2 km long and 1.4 km wide. Its highest point is 312 m. Bok Ye-gan group 14°18′N 97°47′E Bok Ye-gan, round and 2 km in diameter, is the only relatively large island. Its highest point is 359 m. The rest of the cluster are six scattered little islets Middle Moscos (Maungmagan Islands) 14°9′N 97°47′E Two larger islands and two islets. Sabyat Island is the northernmost; its highest point is 119 m. The largest island, North Island, is 6.8 km long and 3.3 km wide. Its highest point is 312 m. South Moscos (Launglon Bok Islands) 13°51′N 97°55′E, 6 km long Aek Bok and 10 km long Auk Bok, the main two islands, are aligned in a north-south direction. Hngettaik Kyun is a much smaller 1.5 km long island in between. Auk Bok is the largest island in the Moscos Archipelago. The South Moscos group is surrounded by coral reefs and there was a proposal in 1982 to declare the South Moscos a marine national park. There is a Tatmadaw base in the South Moscos Islands.

Preparis

Preparis Island is an island which is part of the Yangon Region of Myanmar. Together, with the other Andaman Islands (the majority of which are a union territory of India), it marks the boundary between the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea. The island has a population of 50 and a total area of 8.1 km2 (3.1 sq mi). The island is 133 km (83 mi) to the SSW of Cape Negrais, the nearest point on the Myanmar mainland and 340 km (210 mi) south of the capital, Yangon. The five Coco Islands (also part of Myanmar) are 77 km (48 mi) to the south. History According to 19th century visitors, the island was uninhabited by humans, but many monkeys were observed. The island was host to the 78th Highlanders regiment of the British Army when on 5 November 1816 the regiment's transport ship Frances Charlotte hit an off-shore rock. Most passengers and crew survived on the island as a freshwater supply was discovered and their stay was brief. The merchant ship Prince Blucher arrived on 10 November and between 11 and 14 November was able to rescue some 316 men, women, and children. The weather and damage to Prince Blucher prevented her from rescuing another hundred. The Government of Bengal then sent two cruisers that then rescued the remainder. Geography Preparis island makes up the northern end of the Andaman Islands chain. The island is 7.7 km (5 mi) long and has a maximum width of 1.8 km (1.1 mi). It is covered with dense forest and has gentle slopes rising to a maximum height of 81 metres (266 feet). Cow and Calf Islets A group of 3 Flat-topped islets, 23 metres (75 feet), 3.4 km (2.1 mi) to the north. West Reef Islets A group of 3 islets, 1 metre (3 feet), 4.2 km (2.6 mi) to the west. Preparis Pinnacle A rock, 12 metres (39 feet) high, 3 km (1.9 mi) to the south. Flora and fauna The island is covered with low trees and bush. It has extensive flora coverage and area remains largely uncleared. Administration The island is subject to the Cocokyun township of Myanmar, along with the Coco Islands. Demographics The island has about 50 inhabitants who engage in very small scale farming and fishing, mainly for the local consumption; part of a military unit that inhabits remote border outposts. Transportation Several beaches can cater for small supply craft. A small helipad serves the settlement.

Sinagoga Musmeah Yeshua

La sinagoga Musmeah Yeshua (in ebraico בית כנסת מצמיח ישועה‎?) è una sinagoga della città birmana di Yangon, sita in una piccola strada a ovest della pagoda Sule in quello che un tempo fu il quartiere ebraico della città. Storia La sinagoga venne costruita nel suo luogo attuale nel 1854, a seguito della seconda guerra anglo-birmana. Il materiale impiegato originariamente fu il legno, poi tra il 1893 e il 1896 venne ricostruita in mattone. I suoi fondatori erano discendenti di ebrei iracheni che si erano insediati in India e che avevano colto l'opportunità di formare una comunità ebraica in Birmania. Sino al 1941 la sinagoga fu l'epicentro della comunità ebraica locale, poi, con la conquista giapponese della Birmania, gli ebrei emigrarono in India, nel neonato Stato di Israele e in altre parti del mondo. Nonostante l'ormai esiguo numero di fedeli, la sinagoga giace in un buono stato grazie alle donazioni di diversi visitatori, in particolare da parte dei coniugi David e Anna Gol di Ginevra che ne permisero il restauro nel 1994. Successivamente venne restaurato anche il mikveh. Sino agli anni novanta del Novecento accanto all'edificio era collocato un cimitero ebraico contenente 700 sepolture, poi spostato in un quartiere a nord di Yangon. Descrizione Al centro dell'edifico vi è un pulpito (bimah) circondato da antiche panchine in vimini. I posti a sedere riservati alle donne si trovano al piano superiore. La Tōrāh è conservata in un tabernacolo dietro al pulpito. Delle 126 Torah presenti un tempo, ve ne sono rimaste solo due assieme a una copia del Talmud. Il soffitto in legno riproduce fedelmente il motivo bianco e blu della Stella di David. Note Bibliografia (EN) Donald Stadtner, Sacred Sites Of Burma, Bangkok, River Books, 2015.

Synagoga Musmea Jeszua w Rangunie

Synagoga Musmea Jeszua w Rangunie – synagoga znajdująca się w Rangunie, dawnej stolicy Mjanmy. Synagoga jest ostatnim żydowskim miejscem kultu w Mjanmie. Znajduje się pomiędzy sklepami na małej uliczce niedaleko centrum miasta. Tablica przy wejściu informuje, że obecny kamienny budynek został wzniesiony w latach 1893–1896 zastępując starszą drewnianą konstrukcję z 1854 roku. Synagoga została wzniesiona przez żydowskich emigrantów z Bagdadu oraz Indii. Przed wybuchem II wojny światowej gmina żydowska liczyła 2500 osób. Następnie zaczęła się kurczyć zwłaszcza po wojskowym zamachu stanu w 1962 roku. Dziś liczy zaledwie 20 osób. Budynek synagogi został wpisany do rejestru zabytków. W maju 2008 roku podczas cyklonu Nargis synagoga straciła dach oraz została częściowo zalana przez wodę. W Rangunie istniała także synagoga Beth El otwarta w 1932 roku.

Шведагон

Шведагон (на бирмански: ရွှေတိဂုံဘုရား), наричана също златната пагода, е будистка пагода или ступа в най-големия град на Мианмар – Янгон. С общата си височина от 98 метра това е най-забележителната постройка в града и един от символите на страната. Според легендата, пагодата е построена преди 2500 години, но е по-вероятно това да се е случило някъде около 6 век след Христа. Била е повреждана многократно от земетресения, най-тежкото от които през 1768 г. Тогава целият връх на пагодата се срутва. Според най-достоверната история, двама братя търговци – Тапхуса и Бхалика – получават от самия Гаутама Буда осем косъма от косата му, които трябвало да бъдат вградени в светилище в Бирма. Когато достигнали Бирма, местният цар Окалапа им дал благословията си да създадат храм на хълма Сингутара, където имало реликви от четирима други Буда преди Гаутама. Светилището започва бавно да запада до 14 век, когато цар Биня У го пристроява, и височината му достига 18 метра. В последвалите векове, с множество пристройки височината му достига 98 метра през 18 век. На върха на конструкцията има „чадър“, на който са закачени 1065 златни и 420 сребърни звънеца, а над него има сфера от чисто злато, инкрустирана с хиляди диаманти и един смарагд от 76 карата. Основата на сградата е изградена от тухли, покрити със злато. Понастоящем Шведагон е място на активни молитви и духовни упражнения на монаси и йоги.
