Historical evidence that Theravada Buddhism flourished in Bagan since before Anoratha


Paying homage
Stone inscription in this history article. We pay our respects to Mr. Boon Tint Kyaw, a professor of historical studies who has collected and identified all the evidence of Pesa records.

Is it the original cow?
In Bagan, before Anoratha Minsaw, the worship of the divine dragon, There was only great worship. After conquering Thatthong, Anawrathamin took Shin Arahman along with the three Pitakats and led to the flourishing of Theravada asana in Bagan.

and the history of the throne that refers to it; In later Pagan histories, they only wrote that and remembered wrongly.

What is history
History means domestic contemporary evidence, Only facts supported by external contemporary evidence are accepted as true history.

No evidence, no history. If no evidence can be shown, it is called a chronicle. Don’t accept the facts that the chronicle says as true history. (Born Tint Kyaw, from Myanmar)

Analysis
Therefore, as U Kula said, it is necessary to find evidence for the idea that Theravada came to Bagan during the Anoratha period. When looking for the necessary stone evidence. . .

  1. found the word However, that quality means that the person before Aranyavathi Forest, It’s only forest monks. There is no evidence of menial jobs in the oral histories, as there is no evidence of menial jobs. god build a school Only evidence of donations for good deeds such as charity work has been found. In addition, the Pagan chronicles do not say that they had to be suppressed because of the rampant rebellion. (The teacher should be regarded as the teacher of the forest school and the teacher of the festival school)
  2. The Ava period Bagu Kalyani stele is more than 400 years later than the Anoratha period and is not a contemporary evidence of the Bagan period. It is not mentioned in the Kalyani stele that there was a war between Pagan and Sothon. There is no evidence that Anor Ratha Min Saw marched and attacked That Thong.
    There is no stone record. It is not said in the Pagan chronicles. Therefore, there is no proof that there was a great war between Pagan and Thaton in the chronicles.
    There was no war between Pagan and Sothom. In the history of Bagu Nine Hundred and Ninety Thousand Pagodas, it is said that while the Khmer soldiers (Khmer) were besieging Ustha Bagu, King Manuha took refuge with the King of Bagu.
    (The rest of the soldiers and four heroes from Anawratha were supported by the army) At that time, there was a powerful military force in Southeast Asia, Thailand, The war started from southern Myanmar to Bago. Isn’t it obvious that the battle route of the Khmer army, which had surrounded Bagu, had already fallen before the fall of Bagu? Therefore, at that time, Suwanna Bhumithong was not a war with Bagan, but was destroyed by Jun Yang. King Manuhar also came to take refuge in Bago when he fainted.
    When Bagu was besieged by Jun warriors, Manuha fled to Bagan King Anoratha for refuge. During the survey of the boat fleet during the reign of the Western King, Manu Hamin arrived in Bagan with four large boats and his daughter Sesaka. There is a survey that confirms that these four boats and the boatmen are a boat association derived from King Anawrahta’s grouping of a boat association. (Think about it carefully. The Jun army arrived at Bago after passing through That Thong. When the Jun army arrived at Bagu, it was very clear that the battle had failed. King Manuha also sought refuge in Bagan. ) Therefore, consonants Anawrahta's battle against Byatta and Thathon is only a fictional story. Why did U Kula add that story to the Great Chronicle? Which one was taken by U Kula to examine. Looking back at U Kula's biography, he was a rich man from his father's side. My grandmother on my mother's side is Saw Bongsei, the daughter of Yodaya Pissalok Sowwa.
