BAGAN Bagan, located on the banks of the Ayeyarwady River in today's Myanmar, is a beautiful temple area although little remains of its early history. Close to Bagan's city walls is the majestic Ananda Pahto Temple that is dedicated to four Buddhas and was built at the end of the 11th century during the reign of King Kyanzittha. Situated on the river bank is what is believed to be Bagan's oldest pagoda, Bupaya. Its architecture indicates that it dates back to the time of the Pyu. According to legend both the construction of the unusual Manuha Paya and its name date back to a captured Mon King who, it is believed, gifted the building to the city. The Shweguyi Temple, the 'Great Golden Cave', indicates the transition of the once prolific Mon style to the Burmese architecture that followed. In recent times these temples have attracted an increasing number of worshippers and there is no doubt that today they are among the world's most prized cultural treasures. Global Treasures - History's Most Protected Monuments - Heritage is our legacy from the past, what we live today, and what we pass on to future generations. our cultural and natural heritage are both irreplaceable sources of life and inspiration. Places as unique and diverse as the wilds of East Africa's Serengeti, the Pyramids of Egypt, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and the Baroque cathedrals of Latin America make up our world's heritage.

A vivid, insider’s account of one of the most inaccessible and mysterious countries in Asia, this book looks beyond topographical features to discover the psyche of the people of Myanmar. Appointed to train local journalists for 18 months at the English-language weekly The Myanmar Times, and despite a measure of danger in accepting the assignment, Peter Olszewski throws himself into the daily life and culture of Yangon—even finding himself in a real-life, fairy-tale romance. Myanmar has recently been the focus of humanitarian and political outrage in developed countries, and this book gives a surprising, new perspective on the question of democratization.

Most international attention on Myanmar has focused on the political situation, where the military, in power since 1962, continue to refuse to acknowledge the results of democratic elections, and on related human rights issues. By focusing on education, health and environment, and on the institutions which formulate and deliver policy in these fields, this book shows how the international community can make a significant difference to strengthening Myanmar's civil society and to supporting a future democratic form of government, by encouraging institutional developments in these fields. Such developments in turn, the author argues, will re-skill the younger generation, promote economic development and poverty alleviation, and, through a participatory approach to policy-making, nurture the conditions from which democracy will grow.

Long isolated by rigid military rule, Burma, or Myanmar, is one of the least known, significantly sized states in the world. David I. Steinberg sheds new light on this reclusive state by exploring issues of authority and legitimacy in its politics, economics, social structure, and culture since the popular uprising and military coup of 1988. Exploring the origins of that year's tumultuous events, Steinberg analyzes a generation of preceding military governments and their attempts to address the nation's problems. This paperback edition includes a postscript that reveals the most current and critical issues facing Burma since the publications of the original hardvoer in March 2001. Steinberg brings readers up to date on the recent release of political prisoners, economic and military conditions, United Nations actions, and the complex, ever-changing relationship between Thailand and Myanmar.

Sometimes evolution gets it wrong. We’ve got one last chance to get it right. Fourteen billion years ago, it all started with a Big Bang. Today, all we hear is a faint echo. A NASA scientist discovers a blip in the echo of from the birth of time. Could it really be a message from the moment of creation—a cosmic code destined to save or destroy the world? Corporate greed has pushed the planet to the brink of ecological collapse. Something needs to change—and fast. Deep Spirit is an adventure story about the power of dreams to transform the world and create a brighter future. Jurassic Park scared us with 60-million-year-old dinosaur genes. Now, Deep Spirit inspires us with a 14-billion-year-old “echo” from the Big Bang. There’s no bigger story. Jurassic Park brought to life the power of the genetic code. Deep Spirit opens up the secrets of the “noetic code”—the way to higher intelligence. Cosmos. Consciousness. Contact. Higher intelligence—it's closer than you think.

In 1997, when Rick Ray (noted director of 10 Questions For The Dalai Lama) visited Vietnam, Cambodia and Burma to produce his landmark film (later narrated on PBS by Martin Sheen), these countries were thought of as sites of war and suffering. To some extent, Burma (called Myanmar by it's repressive, authoritarian regime) is still the land that time forgot, as depicted beautifully but tragically in this film. However, both Vietnam and Cambodia have emerged as major tourist destination. Ray's film offers an amazing glimpse at a time when these countries were just emerging from behind the Bamboo Curtain. No country has been more hidden from the modern world than Burma. Since the 1950's, tourists have been restricted to between 24 hours and 7 days to see the country. In times of crisis, Burma's xenophobic government simply allows no one from outside in. Needless to say, getting out of Burma is a virtual impossibility for the vast majority of its citizens. Called the Albania of Asia, Burma is a wondrous country for those who visit. Ray travels the Road To Mandalay to film the amazing Inle Lake and it's remarkable leg rowers, the colonial decay of Rangoon, the long neck women hill tribes and the temple studded plains of Pagan. For those of us who did not serve in Vietnam, most of our images of the country have come to us from the movies. Ray travels before Americans were allowed to journey back to Vietnam (by the US government ironically) and offers glimpses of a country emerging from both war and the ravages of Communist privation. He journeys from Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) to Hanoi on Vietnam's Highway One, with stops in Dalat, Nha Trang, China Beach, the DMZ, Halong Bay and Hanoi. Finally, Ray ventures in the formerly troubled land of Cambodia, for a look at a country still coming to terms with the ravages of war. From the Killing Fields of Phnom Penh to the magnificence of Angkor Wat (before any tourist clutter was present!) Ray's journey explores the heights and depths of human achievement and suffering in the homeland of the Khmer culture. With the breakup of the Soviet Union, many of the emerging countries of Indochina found themselves with new opportunities to overthrow old regimes and proceed with a more self-determined course. Burma and Vietnam stand in stark contrast in this regard. Rick Ray truly raises the Bamboo Curtain to shed some light on world's that were hidden from outsiders for many years.

In Myanmar (Burma), many people believe in ghost spirits called Nats. These spirits are historical figures who met tragic or violent deaths. They are said to possess the power to assist or devastate the lives of those who recognize them. A Pwe is a ceremony held to appease a Nat. Pwes are arranged daily throughout Myanmar for many purposes including the achievement of success in business, a happy marriage, or improving one's health. A Nat is summoned through a Kadaw; the flamboyant and charismatic master of ceremony dressed in elegant costume. The Kadaw is a spirit medium, singer, dancer, storyteller and magician who exposes the crowd to a living incarnation of the Nat. Cash money is thrown and cigarettes and whiskey are hand-delivered by the Kadaw to the willing faithful. Audience participants are often ecstatic, spontaneously launching into trance as the Nat spirit possesses their bodies while the melodically ornamental and thundering sound of the Nat Pwe orchestra plays on as perhaps the last great internationally unknown musical juggernaut existing anywhere. This collection of music documents the phenomenon known as the Nat Pwe orchestra. There is absolutely nothing like it anywhere else on earth. If you are looking for some music to groove to, soothe your mind, or relax to, this is NOT for you! This is some of the most jarring, intense and maniacal music being created on earth today. Your head will be spinning amidst the cranked reverb and echo of the vocals as they swirl like locusts in a floating graveyard as the bells, cymbals, and tuned metal bars crash and spill down an endless staircase, while the hand drums and Hsaing-Wang circle of rhythm pound the beat in and out of a million twists and turns until you've either had enough or you get with the program. Turn it up and submit. This is what it's ALL about, schoolboy!

In view of its problematic human rights record and the military regime's continued extra-constitutional rule, Myanmar has faced mounting diplomatic pressure from the international community since the renewed detention of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi in May 2003.

This Adelphi Paper examines Myanmar's foreign policy, which is predicated on state-building and development, as well as on defending the regime's priority of establishing an enduring constitution over democratization. It discusses how the regime has been able to take advantage of the economic, security and geostrategic interests of both China and India in the country to achieve developmental and security goals. As Western capitals have sought to place Myanmar under the scrutiny of the UN Security Council on the grounds that its domestic circumstances have regional security implications, the paper highlights how its relations with Beijing in particular have assumed ever greater significance. It discusses the regime's objectives, challenges and concerns in its relations with the US, Japan and Europe; details the difficult decisions facing the leadership as ASEAN has started to relax its application of the non-interference norm when dealing with Myanmar; and examines its interaction with the UN, particularly the secretary-general and his special envoys.

The paper concludes by analyzing the likely regional and international implications of intensified political pressure on the military regime.
