Mahagandhayon Monastery မဟာဂန္ဓာရုံကျောင်းတိုက် - Mandalay Myanmar 2023
Mahagandhayon Monastery မဟာဂန္ဓာရုံကျောင်းတိုက် is a monastic college located in Amarapura, Myanmar. The monastery is known for its strict adherence to the Vinaya, the Buddhist monastic code.
The monastery was first established by Agatithuka Sayadaw, a Thudhamma affiliated monk around 1908, as a meditation monastery for forest dwelling monks. The monastery gained further prominence under the leadership of Ashin Janakābhivaṃsa, who began living there in 1914. During the 1970s, Ne Win, the country's leader, sought advice from Shwegyin monks at the monastery.
In addition to being a monastic college the monastery will also take in poor and orphaned children and provide them housing and an education until they can find a sponsor to provide for them. Locals and tourists will come her to make donations to help this endeavor.
A legacy of the sayadaw’s strict enforcement of the Vinaya at Mahagandayon Monastery is the quiet, calm and orderly behaviour of its monks and novices, who are regarded with respect and admiration by visitors.
The sayadaw required monks and novices at the monastery to follow 10 rules. In order of importance they are:
1. To have a noble mind (attitude)
2. To respect the Vinaya
3. To be healthy
4. To practice personal hygiene
5. To wear robes properly and to eat properly
6. To behave with decorum
7. To speak with decorum
8. To know where to go and where not to go
9. To maintain discipline
10. To achieve high grades in learning
“Although there have been some changes in a monk’s way of life because of modern technology, there has been no change here in the emphasis on maintaining discipline,” said the Nayaka Sayadaw Abhidhaja Maha Rattha Guru Eindra Basabivansa, the monastery’s fourth abbot since Sayadaw Ashin Zanakabivumsa.
“Any monk who violates the code of discipline is expelled,” said the abbot.
The monastery is very important to the community and is also a popular place for people to come and see the daily alms collections with long lines of maroon robed monks. It is worth a visit if you are near the area while in Mandalay.
