Maha Bodhi Ta Htaung ({{lang-my|မဟာဗောဓိတထောင်}}, lit. 'a thousand great Bo trees') is a famous Buddhist region and monastery located in Monywa Township, Sagaing Region, Myanmar (Burma). It is famous for the Giant Standing Buddha statue, the second tallest in the world, and for the Great Atitudes of U Narãda, who built the monastery. This Sāsana (religious) site contains thousands of Buddha statues beneath thousands of Bo trees, the Giant Reclining Buddha Statue, Aung Sakkyā Stupa, and other large Buddha statues. Currently, a Sitting Buddha Statue, which is expected to become the world's largest Sitting Buddha Statue, is in construction. Many Buddhist monks can study the Buddhist Pariyatti literature at the monastery. Moreover, meditation centres or Vipassãnā centres are opened at this monastic site both for monks and laypersons.

History

Maha Bodhi Ta Htaung was founded by Maha Bodhi Ta Htaung Sayadaw Ven Nārada on 5 May 1960. He planted thousands of Bo trees throughout his life on recalling the Buddha attained beneath the Bo tree in Bodh Gaya, India. He started to plant them on a {{convert|15|acre}} plot, with Nan Oo Sayadaw, the grandson of King Mindon, at 8.55 AM on 6 May 1960. Bo trees hold religious significance for Buddhists since it is the tree under which Buddha attained enlightenment.

Before he reached this monastery, the monastery was just a small one for Khatakkan villagers. Now, the {{convert|15|acre|km2}} Bodhi Ta Htaung (One Thousand Bo Trees) Auspicious Ground has been extended to a {{convert|250|acre|km2}}, it is lush and green with more than 9,000 Bo trees. The monastery is famous both in Myanmar and the world since it has got many thousands of Bodhi trees.

It is the second tallest Buddha statue in the world after the Spring Temple Buddha in China.[1]{{Better source|reason=per WP:CIRCULAR|date=March 2018}} Construction of the statue was finished in 2008.[2][3] On Banda vah mountain in Bodhi Tahtaung monastery, a Sitting Buddha statue is also being built for completing the last desire of Sayadawgyi, U Nārada.[4]
