La Golden Rock è un masso alto 20 metri, sospeso nel vuoto e perfettamente bilanciato su uno sperone roccioso del Monte Kyaiktiyo, in Myanmar. Sulla roccia, oltre 2.000 anni fa, è stata costruita una pagoda di 7 metri dove è conservato un capello del Buddha: una preziosa reliquia che, secondo la leggenda, mantiene in equilibrio il macigno. Questa gigantesca roccia, completamente rivestita di oro purissimo, è una delle principali mete di pellegrinaggio buddhista del paese; ogni anno migliaia di turisti e devoti si recano in questo luogo sacro per attaccare una lamina d'oro sulla pietra, rendendola sempre più lucente e preziosa. La credenza popolare vuole che, mostrando devozione al Buddha, si riceva in cambio fortuna e prosperità. Solo agli uomini è consentito il privilegio di pregare e toccare la pietra, alle donne non è permesso nemmeno avvicinarsi. Il tempio si trova a circa 1.100 metri sul livello del mare e si raggiunge attraverso una salita piuttosto faticosa. La massima concentrazione dei pellegrinaggi va da novembre a marzo, il periodo in cui si festeggia il Full Moon of Tabaungè: una ricorrenza celebrata ogni anno attorno alla Golden Rock, dove migliaia di fedeli accendono 90 mila candeline e bruciano incenso. Un luogo mistico, dove poesia e suggestione si mescolano alle preghiere dei pellegrini buddhisti di tutto il mondo, e in cui recarsi almeno una volta nella vita.

Die Atmosphäre der betenden Pilger, die zu Buddha sprechen, ihre Opfergaben darbringen und Kerzen anzünden ist für viele Besucher ein Tor zu einer anderen Welt.
Der Glaube kann uns Halt und eine Zukunftshoffnung geben.
Sehr schön umgesetzt in Miniatur.
