Pagodas in and around Mandalay flocked with people doing good deeds on Waso Full Moon Day

As the full moon day of Waso (Dhammacakka Day) is the most sacred day for Buddhists, people flocked to pagodas, temples, and stupas all over the country yesterday, making efforts to increase Dhamma worship, reciting and offering Dhamma talks in neighbourhoods and streets, and presenting Waso robes and flowers.
Similarly, at temples, pagodas, stupas, and monasteries in and around Mandalay, Buddhist monks and people gathered for religious merit, including offerings, presenting flowers and robes, donating alms, and releasing animals, starting from early morning.
Additionally, in towns, villages, and neighbourhood religious halls, people were captivated by the sounds of religious chants and engaged in offering Waso robes and food to monks.
Today, not only residents but also monks across the country come to Mandalay’s famous Mahamuni Buddha Image. They offered golden robes, food, water, flowers, oil lamps, and other offerings.
Similarly, temples and pagodas in the eastern region, such as Maha Lawka Yanhnein Aungdawmu Pagoda, Candamuni Pagoda, Kuthodaw Pagoda, Kyauktawgyi Pagoda, Mandalay Hill, Shwekyimyin Pagoda, Sacred Tooth Relic Pagoda, and Waiyawsana Jade Pagoda, were crowded with pilgrims.
Likewise, famous locations in Mandalay, such as City Park on Strand Road, Yadanabon Zoo on the east side of the moat, and U Bein Bridge in Amarapura Township, were also crowded with people from all over the country. — Maung Aye Chan/TKO
