 Naga Hlainggu Hillock
On this Naga Hlainggu Hillock are
ancient pagodas and stupas and Buddha
statues which were contemporaneous with
Bagan Period. During 1938-39 miraculous
sacred rays were seen radiating about
the Hillock. Thus excavations were made
here abouts and many ancient votive
tablets with Buddha images in relief
were found. So these religious objects
were re-enshrined inside a new pagoda
named Aung Chantha Pagoda which was
constructed under the management of the
Most Venerable Aboh Kalaywa Sayadaw.
So ancient Pagodas and stupas are
found to have originated in these
grounds which are still graced with Naga
Hlainggu Aung Chantha Pagoda plus 28
ancient Buddha Statues.
This holy learning centre covers
17.016 acres of land on the second
highest hillock in Yangon. Any visitor
on arrival here is delighted with the
green and verdant trees and plants
growing all over the area. Instructor or
student bhikkhus, samaneras, and nuns
altogether numbering more than one
thousand are conducting purit of
Buddhist Scriptures as well as modern
academic studies with happiness.
Desirous that worthy bhikkhus,
samaneras, and nuns shall obtain fitting
lodging while they pursue secular and
religious studies here, this learning
centre is being run under the management
