VISIT TO PAGODA : DEPARTMENT OF ARTS
On 25th January, 2019, as BA Coordinator I
Prof. SupriyaGoraksha organized one day visit to Global Vipasana Pagoda for
FYBA ,SYBA and TYBA students. The objective of this visit is to give BA
students’ knowledge of cultural heritage of our country and to know its value
and importance.
The aim of the pagoda complex is to express gratitude to
Gautama Buddha for dispensing a universal teaching for the eradication of
suffering, to reveal the truth about the life of Buddha and His teaching, and
to provide a place for the practice of Vipassana meditation. Vipassana
meditation courses are held free of charge at the meditation center that is
situated in the Global Vipassana Pagoda complex.
Planning for the construction of the Global Vipassana
Pagoda began in 1997, while actual building work started in 2000. The pagoda
consists of three sub-domes. The first and largest dome was completed when bone
relics of Gautama Buddha were enshrined in the central locking stone of the dome
on October 29, 2006, making it the world's largest hollow stone masonry
structure containing relics of the Buddha. The relics were originally found in
Bhattiprolu, Guntur district, Andhra Pradesh, South India. The Mahabodhi
Society of India and the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka to be kept at the Global
Vipassana Pagoda has donated them. The second and third domes, along with an
auxiliary dome adjoining the second dome, sit atop the first dome. Construction
of the third dome was structurally completed on November 21, 2008.
The center of the Global Vipassana Pagoda contains the
world's largest stone dome built without any supporting pillars. The height of
the dome is approximately 29 metres, while the height of the building is 96.12
meters, which is twice the size of the previously largest hollow stone monument
in the world, the GolGumbaz Dome in
Bijapur, India. The external diameter of the largest section of the dome is
97.46m and the shorter sections, is 94.82m. The internal diameter of the dome
is 85.15m. The inside of the pagoda is hollow and serves as a very large
meditation hall with an area covering more than 6000 sq m (65,000 sqft).
The massive inner dome seats over 8000 people, enabling
them to practice the non-sectarian Vipassana meditation as taught by Mr S N
Goenka, and now being practiced in over 160 centres in more than 60 countries.
An inaugural one-day meditation course was held at the pagoda on December 21,
2008, with Mr S.N. Goenka in attendance as the teacher.
The Buddha held that two qualities are rare among humans:
Katannuta that is, gratitude and Pubbakarita, which is, initiative to help
others without expecting anything in return. These two qualities are the true
measure of progress on the path of Dhamma for any person devoted to Dhamma.
Gratitude is more important of the two qualities.
Whenever we remember the help given to us by any saintly person we feel
gratitude towards him/her, we naturally feel inclined to live up to that ideal
and consequently we are inspired to give selfless service towards that ideal.
Gratitude and selfless service complement and support each other.
An individual uses words to express himself. A
civilization expresses itself in architecture.The Global Vipassana Pagoda is an
expression of our gratitude: towards the Buddha, who as the Bodhisatta strived
for incalculable aeons to fulfill his paramis (noble qualities) to reach
Supreme Enlightenment. Having done so, he taught the Dhamma for the good and
benefit of many, out of compassion for all beings.
At the end of session, they served snacks to our students
and also showed our students videos on the making of Pagoda dome.. The students
were more than happy to make their presence feel at such rich heritage. We all
are thankful to our Principal to give us permission to visit it and students
are highly motivated to preserve our cultural heritage.
