The Memory of the Monk
In Mingun which is about an hour by boat from Mandalay, there is a shrine dedicated to a monk, which is in the town's main street. It is famous because it is in the Guinness Book of Records for its wonderful memorial. He memorized over 6000 sutras and recited them all by rote, a record. The temple is very simple and in the centre there is a statue of the monk with glasses, it reminded me very much of Ghandi.
