The magnificent “Kyaik-Tiyo” Pagoda is a stupa sits on top of a huge Boulder covered in gold leaf, which balances on the edge of a cliff at the top of Kyaikto Mountain. Kyaik-Tiyo is a place of pilgrimage for all Buddhists in Myanmar/Burma/. People say this rock keep the balance because of one single hair of the Buddha.
The hidden message here is, “what is broken can be fixed; and becomes more beautiful & valuable.”
