“Cleanliness
is next to Godliness” A neat environment help people focus more on following the teachings of Buddha, the founder
of Buddhism. An uncluttered surrounding is also a sign of respect for their
Buddha. A tidy setting also attracts visitors to come and makes their visit a
memorable one for them. Cleanliness does not just help the people but also
helps the environment by making it free from trash and unnecessary garbage that
provides inconvenience to everyone.
“Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without”. It
means that you don’t need to find peace for peace will come to you. The Lon Wa
Buddhist temple has a peaceful ambiance that allows everyone to have harmony in
one’s mind. It gives a soothing feeling that calms one’s nerves and helps
forget one’s problems. The temple’s atmosphere of tranquility makes it a
nice setting for worship.
Buddhist people never forget the one who they worship as they
are always surrounded by monuments. These memorials will also help them
remember the teachings of Buddha. These figures
will help the visitors recognize the founder of Buddhism. His ways, guidance
and life will always be commemorated in a form of a statue. These representations act as a symbol of all the deeds
this person had done for everyone.
