The Chaukhtatgye reclineing Buddha is an absolute masterpiece, one of the most amazing Buddha images in the world. After having seen the Shwedagon Pagoda it seems nothing is more beautiful, but this large image delivers another moment of amazement. Being built only a few decades ago, purpose of the builders is obviously to show the Buddha in a pretty, clean, almost female appearance. Because of its young age the image still has to earn reputation and veneration among both the people of Myanmar and foreigners. Visiting is highly recommended.
