full moon day of Kason is a special day for Buddhists. India, is a place where
Gautama Buddha was born,” said Ma Thoon Yadi Phyo, a visitor.
“Although I could not visit the
Sattasattaha in Bodh Gaya, I was overjoyed to see the Four Noble Truths in Bodh
Gaya in Nay Pyi Taw.
I think everyone who comes to worship
the Buddha will feel the same way. May all the people have overcome the three
plagues and have health, wealth and happiness during this special day,” she
