Shwedagon Pagoda MYANMAR - Epic BURMESE Beauty

[@tammylee8420]

Absolutely Beautiful!💛

[@madhukark8847]

You can feel inner peace whlie meditating.You loose all your stress and positive thoughts flowing through your brain.

[@thomasbroadview8321]

Base on your question Shwedagon is not just for tourists attraction place.I don’t know others but every time I go to Shwedagon I feel peaceful and I have no hates or angers while I’m there.Most of Myanmar people go there for doing good deeds as sweeping floors and keep it clean the area Voluntarily.Some people go there for just to meditate because they feel closer with buddha.However, Shwedagon for everyone who wants peace.Not just for tourists attraction.

[@rueyminlim7574]

May I beg you to use capital B,Buddha.Anytime ! Thanks.

[@nevillekwa8772]

I was originate from Myanmar to U.S 1974. Most people goes to Shwedagon Pagoda for pray. Burmese people believed Buddha and they always treat people very nice and respect.

[@thetsoehtike]

i am from Myanmar. Shwedagon pogoda is not mainly for tourists. Its the most holy place in Myanmar and ppl from all over the country visit this place everytime they have a chance. Its a place of worship for over 50 millions burmese ppl.

[@AD-30000]

Paused at your question to comment. It is the most religious site in Myanmar and all the activities there are nothing to do with tourism apart from those who are interacting with tourists. As a Burmese,even though I am not 100% Buddhist, I often go there at evening when it is getting dark. Because the atmosphere on the Pagoda ground,especially at that time, is unique and give me different feeling unlike another other places I have been to. Everytime I get there, I find a peaceful spot and meditate for a while.

[@dougbergman8631]

It's the most amazing place I've been to in the world.

[@chosett]

Having lived in Yangon for half of my life (and on many subsequent visits), I of course have been there numerous times, but I am always spellbound by the majestic splendor of this huge place. A beautiful building or structure can move a person, but a pagoda that has been said to be covered in more gold than all the vaults in England will take your breath away! Even if you are not of the Buddhist faith (which I am not), be prepared to be absorbed in an atmosphere of holiness and spiritual tranquility, and even if you are hard to impress, you will be overwhelmed by its magnificence and breathtaking beauty. I was with one of my American friends one time, and this is what she said when we were there, "It is so captivating and no words can describe it, but I will say one thing, 'my eyes keep falling out of my head." The people of Myanmar are very religious, and it is believed that the Shwedagon reveals the heart of the people. There are always crowds of devotees who come to worship at the Shwedagon. Old, young, monks, nuns....people from all walks of life. This is what Myanmar is all about - the impact of Buddhism in the everyday life of the people. Anyway, if you are ready to be transported to a whole new world and a serene environment (even though the place is bustling with worshipers and tourists alike), be sure to make this pagoda your number 1 must see attraction when you are in Yangon. You will be totally mesmerized by its wonder!

[@deeplizardvlog]

It was so stunning. With so much detail to absorb, more than one trip is definitely needed!

[@thekingminn]

all the Buddhist sites in Myanmar are 100% used by the people of Myanmar and the tourism is the side thing

[@tombrazy12hunnit]

Place looks beautiful, gonna be my wish list of place to visit.

[@commander1044]

National Geographic should learn from the both of you. Great shots, amazing editing and a very good selection of background music. You guys are extremely doing great. I've backtracked your content and totally loving it. Keep it up, stay safe, stay healthy both of you. Don't rush with new videos, enjoy your trip first.

[@deeplizardvlog]

Ah, thank you so much! 🙏

[@deepblueocean5055]

From Thailand, I love your narrating. It’s so epic! Thank you so much. According to your question, as a Buddhist, surely that temples and pagodas are built for religious purpose. However, many Buddhists believe that they have to do their best in order to honor and pay respect to the Lord Buddha. As a result, many beautiful temples and pagodas are built extravagantly. Some people donate gold and precious stone like diamonds and gemstones to decorate temples, pagodas and Buddha images. As a consequence, like many magnificent places, the beauty of temples and pagodas attracts more tourists. I’ve never been to Burma. Luckily, my parents went there many years ago. I asked my parents to bring my ruby stone to worship the Shwedagon Pagoda (donate at the donation point) and in order to be used for the Pagoda’s renovation. I’m so grateful of having a chance to do that. And your video brings back this wonderful memory. I hope I have a chance to pay respect to the Swedagon Pagoda by myself in the future.

[@deeplizardvlog]

Thanks so much for the insight, Akkasit! Glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@minthu7608]

Shwedagon pagoda is a famous in the world.

[@dougbergman8631]

I think this is your best video so far. Brings back such good memories of the most amazing place I've ever visited.

[@deeplizardvlog]

Thank you, Doug! It was amazing!

[@anandachetanelikapati6388]

Beauty is not just in the way it is built but also in the way it is admired and presented by visitors like you. Wish you have a pleasant and memorable trip.

[@tintzawoo5819]

I am in love with this video now. Thanks from the deepest of my heart.

[@KKH_htut]

Yes, it’s place has been utilised. The presence of Buddha hairs & visits of many other enlightened bodies throughout many past centuries makes this place supernatural. If u meditate & analyse Dhamma in this place especially at night around 9pm (near Naung taw Gyi shrine), it’s easier to focus & bring back all our good karma for enlightenment. I am not sure if you will understand what I am trying to say or not. Anyway, great video & such sweet couple~ take care :)

[@satlyunpyae9533]

i like your video. i will support you

[@justachannel1389]

Thank for uploading this amazing video.I really miss Shwedagon Pagoda.

[@theinhtikezaw6190]

Every painting and curving has a story behind it. They are not just for architectural design, every story behind a painting presents a morality or a lesson. I am not sure if you can find these stories in English. There are numerous books describing and portraying hundreds(or thousands) of stories in Burmese language and in the Pali language. Moreover, Shwedagon Pagoda has legends of how it was built and a hidden story behind the building of the pagoda. It is said that there is a secret chamber underneath the pagoda where it keeps the relics and treasures, and ancient technology machines are running for protection of the chamber and there is a story of a man trying to sneak into that secret chamber. I can't prove if the legends are authentic but there really are more fascinating facts about the pagoda more than just the architecture or the landmark. Just adding extra interesting facts about the pagoda. Nice Vlog, cool editing and Cheers.

[@shwegu]

Bro, originally this pagoda was built to shrine the relics of four enlightened Buddhas as a memorial worship place for people who wish to homage real Buddha and so it is not intended to be torist attraction.

[@sandorjankovics2243]

What a quality piece of work! I've been living in Yangon for two years but this video was epic!

[@deeplizardvlog]

Thanks, Sandor!

[@samchason3159]

[@heinaung640]

I am a Myanmar. I work and live in Singapore. I visit Myanmar to pay homage Shwe Dagon pagoda. It peace and serene place to visit shwe Dagon pagoda and all my stress disappear whenever I visit. It is very important for all buddhist to visit, pay homage, meditate and offer buddha at Shwe Dagon Pagoda. Not just tourists attraction.

[@kyawmintun8563]

What an interesting video!

[@kingthanvon]

You guys really know how to detailed 🙏🙏🙏

[@khinmyoeaey7299]

Extremely thanks.

[@patriciajin6206]

Thank you for visiting our country!

[@settmyathtun1924]

Cheers Guys..!! Great shots and heartwarming video. Watching this actually make me feels I am back home for 15 minutes. Short to the point, First, Shwe Dagon Pagoda, landmark of Yangon, is one of the holiest Buddhist monuments which our people been taken care of generation by generation. Thus, it's not just made for tourist attraction but for all people. We also have many more interesting ancient pagodas and temples across the country. For example, Bagan, situated in the middle of the country where used to be the very first Myanmar Kingdom commences. It used to has over 10,000 pagodas in the old days but still has left with over 4000 pagodas. I would recommend the best time to visit Myanmar is either winter (Oct/Nov - Jan) or summer time (February-May) cause at that period you can catch the most beautiful sunset there in Bagan and of course all over the country as well. I've watched your 1hr long video about your experience in Myanmar and I would like to explain a few things that you might want to know. First, our people are taught to be respectful to one people to another. For instance, bowing while crossing in front of someone's face means showing their respect that they don't mean to block you or another way of expressing very polite action of "Excuse Me". And it does consider as one of the most polite actions to act on. The same scenario, it is inappropriate to wear shorts in holy places like Shwedagon since that might disturb some people and for the reason of showing respect to the religion, so that you are suggested to change something well covered. It is totally appropriate to wear whatever you like all across the country. Do it with confidence, guessing that the reason some people staring at you, may because of you are just stunning. Sorry for being dropping a long message. Love you guys. Hopes this message give some ideas about your next visit to Myanmar. I believe there are many more to see. I have a dream that I would travel across the world just like you guys. Feel free to get in touch. Keep up the good work. Have a lovely day. Regards, Sett

[@deeplizardvlog]

Shwe Dagaon Pagoda is the most sacred place in Myanmar. All Myanmar people across the country try their utmost effort to come and pay respect to the Shwe Dagon Pagoda at least once in their lifetime.

[@JuliaLeung6]

Wow!

[@SoundCloudLyrics]

For Buddhist Pagodas it best place for tourist to visit. For Christians Churnch idk no experience

[@prosummers]

That’s the most peaceful place for me in Yangon. Before COVID-19, I used to go there every week without failed. Just to get a few moments of peacefulness and my spiritual needs.

[@lipolydolance3269]

Of course, I go to Shwe Dagon very often. It's not only for tourist attraction.

[@alexoburma1951]

This is the best Shwe Dagon Pagoda video footage I have ever seen. Many thanks! Do you do travel documentary just for yourself for fun, or your day job is in some sort of photo/video production? Would you tell us what camera and lens you used for this footage?

[@deeplizardvlog]

Thank you, Alex! Really appreciate your kind comment 😊 What you see on this channel is the only film production we've ever done. We started learning how to film and edit at the start of 2019. The camera and lenses are listed below. For this video, we used the 16-35mm and the 85mm lens listed in the link. www.amazon.com/shop/deeplizard?listId=2LCM7Q10Z5OCA

[@just_an_average_girl282]

I think the reason you didn't see as many people in the videos is that most people go to the pagoda on full-moon day or because most people go there when there is a festival

[@moonlightsunshine3495]

you should go to bagan. Bagan is myanmar acient city

[@at2703]

Myanmar spent all of their treasure for pagodas.

[@kaitenzero2224]

You don’t know there a secret place inside that pagoda ?

[@kjujukyaing7494]

The background music is korea's not Myanmar's ancient music.

[@Anfieldmyanmar]

Shwedagon is a worshipping place for buddhist people, not a tourist attraction site. Tourist came here to see the local worshipping culture and the awesome sight of the Shwedagon pagoda itself. Shwedagon is religious site.

[@BoomBoom-yf8qz]

Pagoda, Buddhist temple are not mention to the group. Buddha site can be visit anyone. 😁I can't explain anymore in English. 😅

[@zawmin8602]

I think Shwedagon is not tourism place especially for different religion visitors. This only for local resident peoples who belive Buddhist.

[@Anfieldmyanmar]

White marble are not absorbing heat. Black colour is absorbing heat. (This is basic Physic Theory). When I was younger day there were some black or dark color slab. Now they changed to all white marble slab so that it don't absorb the heat. Shwedagon is NOT for tourist attraction. It is a religious place for Buddhist. (Like what Macca is for muslim) but we welcome anyone with different religions. The main reason Buddhist go there is just for worshipping.
