Sule Pagoda, The Downtown Landmark of Devotion

The Sule Pagoda was the pagoda that I could see from the verandar of my office, when I work in Yangon.
Little did my staff know of all the prayers that I recited to improve sales for the day.
There was never a day that I did not not look at the gleaming pagoda for a few times everyday.

Certainly one of the perks of the job!

A Pagoda in the Suburbs of Mandalay

During my travels to Mandalay, I often try to visit a gentle monk who is revered by my brother. The refined self-awareness og the mannners of the monk instills a profound impression onto me.

This pagoda is near the monastery of the said monk.
Notice that the pagoda is protected ogres.
Which is more the element to be found on pagodas in the Magwe Division.
Please correct me if I am wrong!
