THE WORLD'S LARGEST BOOK

Stupa, stupa, and stupa. I took a walk from Kuthodaw Pagoda, which has more than 700 white stupas, to Sandamani Pagoda, which includes more than 1700 white stupas. That was too many stupas to see in one day. Each stupa at Kuthodaw Pagoda has a stone tablet inscribed with Buddhist texts in it. And each tablet represents one page of the story. So, as a whole, the pagoda is regarded as the world's largest book.
仏塔、仏塔、また仏塔。700以上の白い仏塔があるクドードォ・パゴダから、1700以上の白い仏塔を持つサンダムニ・パゴダまで歩く。一日で見る仏塔の数としてはちょっと多すぎる。クドードォ・パゴダのそれぞれの仏塔の中には仏典が刻まれた石板が収められていて、石板一つ一つが物語のページになっている。このパゴタが世界最大の本と呼ばれているのは、それが理由。
