Bodhi Tahtaung

Another bit of wonderfulness from the village of Khatakan Taung (see Lakyun Setkyar Buddha) in Sagaing Division. This fifteen acre grove, known as "Bodhi Tahtaung", contains 1000 young Ficus religiosa trees (see Bo Trees and Another Bo Tree), each tree with a lovely statue of Buddha sitting under it. The giant Buddha statues and Bodhi Tahtaung are both the work of the late Venerable Sayadaw U Narada who died in 2006. [NOTE: Bodhi Tahtaung was expanded several years ago. It now extends over 250 acres and contains more than 9000 Bo trees].
