Buddhist heritage of Bagan, Myanmar Tuesday, September 24, 2024
Buddhist heritage of Bagan, Myanmar🇲🇲
Bagan (formerly known as Pagan) is an ancient city and a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Mandalay Region of Myanmar. From the 9th to 13th Century CE, the city was the capital of the Pagan Kingdom, the first kingdom that unified the regions that would later constitute Myanmar. From 1044 to 1287 CE, Bagan was the capital as well as the political, economic and cultural nerve center of the Pagan Empire.
Bagan rulers were great patrons of Theravada Buddhism. However Theravada school coexisted with Mahayana, Tantrik Buddhism as well as Hindu Shaiva and Vaishnava schools. Over the course of 250 years, Bagan rulers and their wealthy subjects constructed over 10,000 religious monuments (approximately 1000 stupas, 10,000 small temples and 3000 monasteries) in an area of 104 square kilometres (40 sq mi) in the Bagan plains.
The prosperous city of Bagan was a cosmopolitan center for religious and secular studies, specializing in Pali scholarship in grammar and philosophical-psychological (abhidhamma) studies as well as works in a variety of languages on prosody, phonology, grammar, astrology, alchemy, medicine, and legal studies. The city attracted monks and students from as far as India, Sri Lanka and the Khmer Empire.
