The World's Largest Book - Kuthodaw Pagoda, Mandalay, Myanmar
The Kuthodaw pagoda grounds in Mandalay, Myanmar hold 729 shrines each containing a single marble slab or page of the book. Each slab/page is inscribed on both sides with texts of the Sutta Pitaka, the Vinaya Pitaka and Abhidhamma Pitaka, the three parts that make up the Tripitaka, the teachings of the Buddha written in ancient Pali language.
King Mindon ordered the “book” to be made in 1860. The texts were copied from ancient manuscripts written on dried palm leaf, the letters chiselled out of the stone and inlaid with gold leaf. The process took 8 years to complete. Each marble slab is enshrined in a structure called a kyauksa gu in Burmese, “gu” meaning cave.

Stone tablets inscribed with the Tripiṭaka (and other Buddhist texts) stand upright in the grounds of the Kuthodaw Pagoda (kuthodaw means royal merit) at the foot of Mandalay Hill in Mandalay, Myanmar (Burma). The work was commissioned by King Mindon as part of his transformation of Mandalay into a royal capital. It was completed in 1868. The text contains the Buddhist canon in the Burmese language.
There are 730 tablets and 1,460 pages. Each page is 1.07 metres (3 1⁄2 ft) wide, 1.53 metres (5 ft) tall and 13 centimetres (5 1⁄8 in) thick. Each stone tablet has its own roof and precious gem on top in a small cave-like structure of Sinhalese relic casket type called kyauksa gu (stone inscription cave in Burmese), and they are arranged around a central golden pagoda.

Kuthodaw Pagoda, Mandalay
Kuthodaw or Royal Merit Pagoda, built in 1860 by King Mindon (1853-1878) at the foot of Mandalay Hill, with the formal title of Maha Lawka Marazein, is also known as the world's largest book. It contains 729 marble slabs each inscribed on both sides to record the entire Buddhist Pali Canon (Tripitaka), individually erected in small stupas all around the central stupa. The inscriptions were opened to the public on 4 May 1868.
Later star flower trees, Mimusops elengi, were planted in the entire complex to provide a cool shade, imparting a wonderful fragrance when in bloom.
The annexation of Burma in 1885 saw British troops and sepoys billeted around Mandalay Hill, and the precincts were closed to the public until 1890 during which time the pagoda was ransacked, looted and vandalised from the Italian floor tiles to the pinnacle of jewel encrusted and gilded umbrella.
A committee of senior monks, members of the royal family and former officers of the king, including Atumashi Sayadaw (the Abbot of Atumashi Monastery), Kinwon Min Gyi U Kaung (chancellor), Hleithin Atwinwun (minister of the royal fleet), Yaunghwe Saopha Sir Saw Maung and Mobyè Sitkè (a general of the royal army), was formed to start restoration works with the help and donations from the families of the original donors according to custom and also from the public in 1892.
Kuthodaw Pagoda (Slideshow) / ကုသိုလ်တော်ဘုရား
Kuthodaw Pagoda / ကုသိုလ်တော်ဘုရား, literally Royal Merit and formally titled Mahalawka Marazein / မဟာလောကမာရဇိန်စေတီ, is a Buddhist stupa, located in Mandalay, Burma (Myanmar), that contains the world's largest book. It lies at the foot of Mandalay Hill and was built during the reign of King Mindon. The stupa itself, which is gilded above its terraces, is 188 feet (57 m) high, and is modelled after the Shwezigon Pagoda at Nyaung-U near Bagan. In the grounds of the pagoda are 729 kyauksa gu or stone-inscription caves, each containing a marble slab inscribed on both sides with a page of text from the Tipitaka, the entire Pali Canon of Theravada Buddhism.
Mindon Min had the pagoda built as part of the traditional foundations of the new royal city of Mandalay in 1857. He was later to convene the Fifth Buddhist Synod in 1871, but wanted to leave a great work of merit by having the Tipitaka set in stone for posterity, meant to last five millennia after the Buddha. Construction began in 1860, its hti (umbrella or crown) mounted on 19 July 1862, and the inscriptions were laid open to the public on 4 May 1868. They were arranged in neat rows within three enclosures, 42 in the first, 168 in the middle and 519 in the third. One more stands at the southeast corner of the first enclosure making it 730, and this stone records how it all came into being. Thirty four brick zayats (rest houses) stood all around except on the east side of the pagoda.
The main entrance is from the south through massive but open teak doors ornately carved with floral designs, scrolls, and Deva Nats. It is a covered approach or saungdan as in most Burmese pagodas with frescoes under the roof. Between the rows of stone-inscription stupas grow mature star flower trees (Mimusops elengi) that emanate a jasmine-like fragrance to the entire complex. Burmese families may be seen having a picnic in the cool shade under these trees, picking the flowers to make star flower chains for the Buddha or to wear in their hair, or the children playing hide and seek among the rows of stupas. On the southwest inner terrace is one very old tree believed to be 250 years old, its low spreading boughs propped up by supports.
After the annexation of Mandalay by the British in 1885, the walled city with Mandalay Palace became Fort Dufferin, and troops were billeted all around Mandalay Hill in the monasteries, temples and pagodas. They became off-limits to the public and Burmese were no longer allowed to visit their religious sites. One revenue surveyor called U Aung Ban then came up with the idea of appealing direct to Queen Victoria since she had promised to respect all religions practised by her subjects. To their amazement and great joy the British queen promptly ordered the withdrawal of all her troops from religious precincts in 1890. This however turned to great sadness when they found that the pagoda had been looted from the hti, left lying on the ground stripped of its bells, gold, silver, diamonds, rubies and other precious stones, down to the Italian marble tiles from its terraces. The zayats lay in utter ruin and the bricks had been used to build a road for the troops. All the brass bells from all the kyauksa gu stupas were gone, 9 on each making it 6570 in total. The gold ink from the letters as well as the sides and top of each marble slab had also disappeared. All the biloos along the corridors had lost their heads, and the marble eyes and claws from the masonry chinthes gone.

Kuthodaw - World's largest book
Kuthodaw Pagoda, a Buddhist stupa which contains the world's largest book. After getting the permission to fly from the head Monk and the administration in charge of security, I flew 7 minutes under 200 ft to capture the beauty of the place, unveiling the 729 stone-inscription caves called kyauksa gu, each containing a marble slab inscribed on both sides with a page of text from the Pali scriptures of Theravada Buddhism.
It is the world's largest book.
