Kuthodaw Pagoda: Marble Stele

庫特多佛塔

緬甸曼德勒曼德勒

譯名為Kuthodaw Pagoda,又稱瑪哈羅卡瑪拉哲因(Mahalawka Marazein),意為皇家的恩賜,俗稱石經院。位於緬甸曼德勒城(Mandalay)山腳。一八五九年,敏敦王(Mindon ,1853~1878在位)敕建,一八六二年竣工,為當時興建新首都曼德勒城的七大建築之一。
 該塔由主塔和周圍小塔組成,主塔狀若金鐘,形制模仿十一世紀阿奴律陀王(Anawrahta,1044~1077在位)於蒲甘興建之瑞茲宮塔(Shwezigon Pagoda)。主塔周邊圍繞三重白色小塔,共七百二十九座,塔形仿斯里蘭卡之佛牙舍利函樣式,每座塔內各立一座大理石碑,刻有第五次經典結集之南傳三藏內容。其中四百一十座石碑鐫刻經藏、一百一十一座刻律藏、二百○八座為論藏。另有第七百三十座大理石碑記載建寺刻經之緣起及經過,故該塔群又有「世界最大書本」的稱號。
