Thiri Mingala Kabar Aye Pagoda

Beautiful pagoda with entrance fee - 10,000 Kyat per person.

The Thiri Mingala Kabar Aye Pagoda (World Peace Pagoda) is a highly significant site in modern Theravada Buddhism, primarily as the location of the Sixth Buddhist Council. (Kaba Aye): As its name translates to "World Peace" (Kabar Aye), the pagoda is dedicated to the realization of global peace, a core ideal in Buddhism. The primary historical and religious importance stems from its construction specifically to host the Sixth World Buddhist Synod (Tipitaka Chanting), held from 1954 to 1956. This council commemorated 2,500 years since the Buddha's passing into final Nirvana and was a major effort to institutionalize and standardize Buddhist teachings. The pagoda is considered sacred because it enshrines important relics of the Buddha and his two chief disciples, Sariputta and Moggallana. Thiri Mingala Kabar Aye Pagoda is one of deep respect for a significant modern religious monument that symbolizes the preservation of the Dhamma (Buddha's teachings), the pursuit of peace, and a venue for important spiritual practice.

This pagoda is very nice in architecture. Entry is free for foreigners and you can sit infront of Buddha and do your prayers.

My first weekend in Yangon, I stumbled across this pagoda. The peaceful setting makes it perfect for meditation. 🙏🙏🙏🕉

This pagoda is located next to the Buddhist university, it’s very nice and has a relic room that is open to all people. The Buddha figures on the outside of the building are from other nations, so it's interesting to note the different characteristics. Across the pagoda even though not many things to watch but really interesting to see.

Extremely beautiful Pegoda with super interior inside the main Pegoda where the main Buddha is placed. You will be amazed to see the ceiling work and painting in there. It's a must visit and if you want to buy wood crafted Buddha statue I would say this is the place , it's quite affordable and super crafty.

One of the famous pagoda in Yangon. Every buddhists should come. 😁 Beside of the ladder, there are many souvenirs shops which sell statues & flowers. And there is an old banyan tree. Very nice.

It is a Beautiful​ place, if you are foreigner you should go to visit there before your death come. Especially Buddhists , This is the place of Sixth Buddhist Council​ in Myanmar​.
