ZALUN OVERVIEW
Zalun is a small town in the Ayeyarwaddy Division, about 50 miles distant from Yangon. It is only a day's return journey with a ferry crossing at Nyaungdon on the eastern bank of the Ayeyarwaddy. If one should ask what is there to attract the ordinary foreign tourist who is interested in fun and leisure, the answer quite honestly would have to be "nothing much," except a glimpse into rural life. But for Myanmar Buddhists a visit to Zalun is a holy pilgrimage. It also is a source of national pride, for the principal Buddha Image with the title, The Noble Mahn Aung Myin Buddha, at Zalun is believed to be endowed with extraordinary strength and powers. It is enshrined in a large temple with a golden Stupa rising from the center of the roof. The grounds are spacious and dotted with many large tamarind trees as well as a large Bo tree with spreading breaches under which is a circular plinth. Images of the four Buddhas, of this present world, the Noble Kawkusan, Konagon, Kassapa and Gautama are placed at significant points on the plinth. Pilgrims from all over the country and a large number from Yangon and nearby towns come to worship and pray there, especially on weekends. Whole families arrive in the morning, spend the day there and leave when the heat of the afternoon sun has abated.
