Video Description
According to legend, Shwedagon Pagoda was built 2,500 years ago at the top of the Myanmarese capital Yangon, and its aura still protects the city today. The stupa, which contains eight strands of Buddha's hair, is the most symbolic and sacred site in the country, of which 90% of the population are Buddhist. Its architecture is made up of circles and squares, which in Buddhist cosmology represent heaven and earth respectively, and is further evidence of how sacred it is. The pagoda's vibrant atmosphere is created by the 20,000 gold plates that cover the building and the precious stones that adorn it. Workers and volunteers spend every day at the site continually restoring it and keeping the stupa beautiful. They do this in the hope that their dedication will cultivate good karma for their future reincarnation.
