Water at the front of the Buddha is pick up with the cups and to pour over the buddha image from the shoulder or head. Its for cooling and cleansing you receive as you give. As for the cave, so far there were 6 buddhist synod where all the wise monks gather together and read out all 3 set of teachings in words. 5th and 6th were held in Myanmar. 5th was held in Mandalay in AD 1871. And 6th meetings were held in this Maha Pasana Cave in AD 1954 with the present of 2500 monks.

Hey Chris, couldn’t find where Gabriel tried the GoPro 8 and didn’t like it or decided his 7 was fine but I noticed he indicates he’s sticking with using the 7 on all his vids. He did a video a half year ago about a problem he was having with the 7 but then he noted he figured out how to change the settings to eliminate or at least minimize the problem. Watched a cool video by Chris Rogers comparing the 7 & 8 and he likes some of the new features on the 8. Sounds like either way u can’t go wrong. Same packaging I see!

Hi all. The purpose built place that you visited at the end of the first day(the one that was closed) I believe was built to host The Buddha Jhayanti in 1956. This was the 2500th anniversary of the establishment of Buddhism originally in India. Buddhist Monks and dignitaries from all traditional Buddhist countries, including Sri Lanka and Thailand attended I knew one English Buddhist Monk(a rareity in those days) who attended. Your guess about the Shwedagon Pagoda was right. It may be a thousand years old but certainly not two thousand. You would have noticed smaller family structures or chapels around the main temple building. These are private family shrines that have been established many generations ago and of course they would continue to be major contributors to the maintenance of the Pagoda complex. I know of one such Burmese Buddhist family, some of whom now reside in Australia. The 2500th anniversary was held in Myanmar(Burma) because there was no real presence of Buddhism in India at the time 1956 and Burma was the next historically oldest Buddhist nation after India. I hope that's of some help.

[@georgewin1415]

Please visit Myanmar! This is such an excellent video about Myanmar. It shows how beautiful Myanmar is. Thanks for making such a lovely video about Myanmar. Please visit Myanmar. Myanmar, in reality, is a very beautiful and peaceful country. People are very kind and friendly. It comes from their hearts. The United Nations has been unfairly treating Myanmar in a very heavy-handed way with regards to Rohingya issues. And the people in the world are getting the wrong impressions about Myanmar. And Daw Aung Su Kyi is put under pressure by the world bodies to solve these problems instantly, which have existed for centuries. To start with, the British were responsible for bringing these people into Myanmar as labour forces in those colonial days, and didn't care to send them back to where they came from after they had left Myanmar for good. That time, Myanmar was just starting as an independent nation, and had no resources and wealth to repatriate these people. The British occupied Myanmar from 1824 to 1948 for 125 years. During that time, there was no record of the existence of the so called Rohingya people. They were recorded as Bengali people from Bangladesh. If one look at the Rohingya people, even though they say they have lived in Myanmar for so long, 99.9% of the present day so called Rohingyas do not speak the Myanmar language. They enclave themselves and speak only Bengali language. On the other hand, the world wants Daw Aung San Su Kyi to do decisive actions while the military is still holding 25% of power and holding the strings. The worst scenario would be to bring back all the Rohingya people, and then see the military backed party won the next election. That will be the end of democracy in Myanmar. And Myanmar will go under the darkness again. No freedom and no Democracy. It is a very complex issue and Myanmar, as a nation, has to weigh its future and have to make decisions in the best interest of the country. For the Rohingya issue, the UN has relied mainly on the oral histories of the Rohingya people without concrete evidence, and labelled the event as “ethnic cleansing” and “genocide”. The former UN Secretary General Mr. Kofi Annan had rejected the genocide claim, and through his report on The Advisory Commission on the Rakhine State, which he chaired, including three international experts and 6 locals. The Commission’s final report was endorsed by all fifteen members of the UN Security Council in October 2017. UN can’t deny their former UN Secretary General Mr. Kofi Annan’s rejection on the genocide issue. The UN’s accusation was very strong and harsh and it is far from reality. While the UN has investigated the Rohingya issue vigorously, they have swept away the other issue that had happened on the 29 September 2012 in Bangladesh. On the 29 September 2012, hundreds of Myanmar people who were living in Bangladesh for centuries were raped, killed, including babies, their houses burnt down, Buddhist monasteries were torched and were driven out of Bangladesh. Many Rohingya people from Rakhine went to Bangladesh and helped to kill as many Myanmar people as they can. It was in the Bangladesh newspapers. The event was planned systematically and some witnesses say that they have seen the local politicians amongst the many truckloads of people that came to destroy and killed Myanmar people. It was a premeditated and well organised event. More Myanmar people may have died in that event than the Rohingyas who had fled Myanmar recently. After that horrendous death of many Myanmar people in Bangladesh in 2012, the Myanmar government had accepted over 300,000 Myanmar refugees officially. Unofficially, hundreds and thousands of Myanmar people fled and crossed into Myanmar. Up until now, there is no voice from the UN about the 2012 event, but just silence. There were no known proper investigations by the UN and doesn’t seem to be interested in doing one. Why is it so? Out of interest, Mr. Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussen was the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights until 2018. The UN has gone through the world-wide media campaigns against Myanmar and all sort of sanctions were imposed. Also, the world bodies, the world media and the UN are forcing Myanmar to accept the Rohingya people as an ethnic group of Myanmar. If you contemplate from the Myanmar side, it seems to be a very hard thing to accept them as one of their own ethnic group. The so called Rohingyas look the same as the people from Bangladesh. They speak the same Bengali language (maybe with a little bit of variation in some cases) and have the same culture and religion. It is hard to believe that just by crossing a little dry river into Myanmar, one could transformed into a Rohingya instantly from an original Bangladeshi. It is like a group of Myanmar people crossing into Bangladesh and calling themselves as “Mohinga” people, claimed to be one of the ethnic groups of Bangladesh, and demand an autonomous Buddhist region for all of the southern part of Bangladesh. The people of Bangladesh would never accept that. Similarly, the Myanmar people would not be able to accept the Rohingya as one of their own ethnicity. It is like calling a Ford a Mustang. Does that mean it is not a Ford anymore? If DNA testings were carried out, the DNA of Rohingyas would match perfectly with that of the Bangladeshis. The Muslim minority Rohingyas want their own separate state in Rakhine. They don’t want to do anything with Myanmar people. The UN has been pursuing the Muslim minority issue vigorously, accusing Myanmar of ethnic cleansing. But in contrast, it is not the same treatment for Myanmar people who had suffered atrocities, genocides and ethnic cleansing in Bangladesh in 2012. As far as the UN is involved, so far, there isn’t any mention on the event of 2012 where many Myanmar people have died, let alone any criticism on Bangladesh. UN has never interviewed the local people in Rakhine, on how they have lived in fear of these so called Rohingya people for centuries, who were cruel, unkind, raping, beheading locals and have no compassion towards non- Muslims. The UN’s attitude has been very unkind to Myanmar and it looks like it is so easy to bully a very poor little country like Myanmar and yet turn a blind eye on what Bangladesh had done to the Myanmar people in 2012. It is so unfair, unkind, biased and one sided. UN should also investigate on what Bangladesh has done to Myanmar people in 2012 - genocide and ethnic cleansing. The recent event of Rohingyas fleeing Myanmar started with the 5 Muslim men brutally gang raping a beautiful young Burmese girl and mutilated her body afterwards. The local people saw this and couldn't take it anymore and exploded. Here, we are talking about the local peasants and ordinary villagers who have been living in fears of these so called Rohingya people who were cruelling killing them and raping them for centuries. Their fear is real and their response is out of total desperation. In the past, it came to a point where women and girls dared not go into the forests for collection of firewood and other livelihood activities for fear of rape. And then the Muslim ARSA terrorist group attacked 20 police outposts simultaneously and hacked people brutally to death with machetes, slit the throats in Jihadi style as well as beheadings. The trademark of the terrorists around the world. Myanmar side couldn’t take the aggression anymore and that’s how all these things started. It is a grass root level clashes and a localised grass root response. The reality in Rakhine state in Myanmar was that, at the grass root level, the local Myanmar people are being raped, killed and had lived in fear of these people for centuries. The way these people kill the local people were always by beheading or slitting the throats. It reminds one of the similar tactics used by other terrorists groups. It also hints their sentimental links to extreme terrorists groups, although they wouldn’t admit it. However, setting aside all these things, in difficult times like these, we should be showing our love and kindness towards each other, instead of spreading hatred, as hatred will never cease through hatred, but only through love and understanding alone they will cease. Myanmar is ready to take back the Muslims who fled across, but they wouldn’t want to come back, as most of them are those who crossed into Myanmar border illegally (the border is a dry river about 15 meters wide in summer). Please visit Myanmar and find out about the truth on how beautiful the country is and how kind the people are. There you will find a lot of mosques close to churches and pagodas, existing in harmony. In times of crises, the Buddhist monasteries are the places where the Muslims go for protection and food. The monks feed them and protect them. You will also see a lot of Muslims and Indians walking about in the streets and doing businesses. You will recognise them by the way they dress. You can see them living together in harmony. If you boycott Myanmar, the only people who will suffer will be the innocent people who rely on tourism. Please visit Myanmar and you’ll find a very beautiful country with kind and friendly people.

[@bobhoskins9595]

You have a very good camera eye but don't spend enough time showing the local people. Do you find it intrusive to record them? I would recommend you take the camera off yourself and just focus on the land and the people letting your camera eye take the reins. When people first start posting perhaps its a surprising novelty to see yourself online in front of the world. But rarely is it effective. People come here for your title, not you (no offense). You are very gifted visually so let that take you much, much farther in video communication and presentation. Also if you add the narration after it may give you much more freedom to focus strictly on the visual and audio of the moment without burdening the process on aptly chosen narration that has to carry the load all the time. Post narration is extremely effective and will segment the process producing a much better product. The drone shots are really spectacular. Once again that visual eye of yours is not letting you down. Now how about drone shots from a little closer? I think you could work that thing much more. Interviews with the locals with one camera on each all the time and each with a separate mic would be very useful for the viewer. People that shove a mic in someone's face for their answer to their question have no clue how amateur and awkward it looks. Mics should just dissolve into the background. Also the interviewee won't be distracted by the mic so they'll feel more free talking.
