Buddha Museum in Kyonpyaw Township attracts more pilgrims

The World-Famous Buddha Museum in Zayityogyi Village, Kyonpyaw Township, Ayeyawady Region, is visited by pilgrims from every part of the country every day, according to the founder monk Dhammaduta Dr Ashin Nyana Lankara.
The museum is situated within the monastery compound where the founding monk resides.
“As a museum, it has been nearly three years since we began receiving a large number of public visits. I have collected many things, including various Buddha statues and the enhanced replica of Buddha’s tooth relic, over the past 27 years. The collection spans from the earliest Nyaungyan and Konbaung periods to the present day. We have collected Buddha statues, paintings, and sculptures made with jewels as extensively as possible. Most of the people who visit the museum are from Yangon and Ayeyawady regions,” said Dhammaduta Dr Ashin Nyana Lankara.
The museum is 190 feet long and 80 feet wide. Inside, it houses Buddha statues carved with jade and gems in various mudras, relics of the Buddha and Arahants, traditional sculptures, paintings, and an enhanced replica of the Buddha’s tooth relic brought from Sri Lanka, as well as other items related to Buddhism. — ASH/TH
