Today is an auspicious day that we are honoured to be present at the enshrinement of the Buddha and his disciple’s relics in the Waki Acrylic Relic Pagoda Ceremony.

My heartfelt thanks that we had met the late Sayadaw U Kittivara, who was so trusting and supportive us during his lifetime. Therefore, we will carry out the Relic Missionary works continually and fulfill the wishes of the late Sayadaw on preserve and enshrine the Buddha and His Disciples’ relics for flourish and prolong the Buddhism into another 2,500 years. In these 3 years, Waki Relic Musuem and Parami Temple, Myanmar have been working together to build one unit of 450kg of Relic Pagoda and 13 units of 350kg of Relic Pagoda. Meanwhile, we have enshrined 350 units of 3D Waki Pagodas in the temples around the world including in Bodh Gaya, India, the Buddha gained his  enlightenment, and temples in UK, Los Angeles USA, Belgium,Sweden, Germany, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Philippines, Thailand, Cambodia and so on.

Besides, on 17th June, we enshrined the first 36cm height of Waki LED Aryclic Pagoda for Pope Francis in Vatican, Italy. Meanwhile, similar enshrinement was done for Venerable Somdej Phra Mahaphratirakorn (Board member of the Sangha Supreme Council of Thailand Abbot of Wat Pho, President of the Regulatory Office for Overseas Dhammaduta Bhikkhus.) Later on July 20th, Waki Relic Musuem enshrined the 75cm height of LED acrylic Waki Relic pagoda for His Holiness Bhaddanta Dr Kumārābhivamsa (Bhamo Sayadaw), the Supreme Patriach of Myanmar and His Holiness Bhaddanta Lābāvata (Yelea Sayadaw) , consultant of the Sangha Supreme Council of Myanmar.

In the following day, Waki Relic Museum will enshrine Waki Relic Pagoda in the temple around the world continuously until complete the enshrinement of the 84,000 Waki Relic Pagodas. From the history, King Ashoke collected the Relics from the big eight pagodas, then built 84,000 pagodas to preserve and enshrine the Relics in order to flourish the teaching of Buddhism and bequeath the future generations the chances to enshrine and pay respect to the Buddha Relics. Therefore, I hope we will continue this missionary efforts together to flourish and propagate the Buddha sasana to another 2500 years.
