SHWEDAGON PAGODA: UNDER THE MOONLIGHT




Revisited the Shwedagon Pagoda after dinner. Of course, I had to take off my shoes and socks at the gate again. In the evening, paving stone tiles inside the temple grounds, which are too hot to walk on in bare feet during the daytime, become cooler. It was so comfortable to walk on them and I felt like I wanted to keep walking around forever. This comfort tells humans were originally walking barefoot.
ディナーのあとにシュエダゴン・パゴダを再訪した。もちろん門で再度靴と靴下を脱がなければならない。夜になると昼間は裸足で歩くには熱すぎた境内の敷石が冷えてくるが、温度が下がった敷石はずっと歩き回っていたくなるほど気持ちがいい。この心地よさは、人間はもともと裸足で歩いていたのだと思い出させてくれる。

This is how to access to the Pagoda. I took an escalator in bare feet maybe for the first time in my life.
これがパゴタへのアクセス方法。エスカレーターに裸足で乗ったのは、おそらく人生初。
