Botataung Pagoda

波大通塔

緬甸仰光

譯名為Botataung Pagoda,意為一千(bo)士兵(tataung)。位於緬甸仰光(Yangon)。相傳二千年前,八名印度僧人帶著佛陀舍利,由一千名士兵護送到達緬甸,將舍利奉祀於此。原塔一九四三年毀於戰火,後於廢墟發現一個小金塔,內有佛舍利及一些珍貴寶物。一九四八年根據原貌重建。
 該塔通高40公尺,遍體塗金。底座及兩層須彌座皆為「亞」字形,沿邊有一圈黃銅邊飾。塔身為鐘形,上下分別飾有菩提葉及凸起的旋紋裝飾。其上為逐漸收分的塔剎,由雙蓮座、卷蕉、多層傘蓋、寶瓶及鑽石球組成。塔內小龕室數以千計,密如蜂房,壁上嵌滿雕飾玻璃;龕內供有金、銀、銅和陶製佛像,原塔所存之佛像亦供奉其中。
