Love & Respect can’t be earned by force or violence. Peace & Order won’t be achieved by abuse and suppression. Through compassion, empathy, and mutual understanding and respect, they can be fostered.

The futuristic design of Maha #Dhammakaya Cetiya was, in fact, inspired by the ancient Cetiya design. It symbolizes the continuation of Dhamma to the modern era. These are Burmese development of Cetiya design through times.

Forgiveness is to eliminate the elements of anger and hatred towards someone from our minds.
