缅甸供奉佛舍利的著名古佛塔—Danok塔修建时坍塌

佛教在线海外讯，据《straitstimes》报道，2009年5月30日下午，缅甸仰光Dalla镇的著名古代佛塔—Danok塔坍塌，导致30多人受伤，其中大部分为正在对此处遗址进行修复的海军人员。

相关人员接受采访时表示，佛塔坍塌原因不明，但佛塔坍塌前曾下过两天大雨。现在，志愿者们正在试着帮助那些被困在塔下的人。已有26位伤员被送往医院救治，但医生没有就他们的伤势进行详细的说明。

据悉，缅甸Danok塔因供奉了两粒佛舍利而闻名全国，在2008年5月份的纳吉斯飓风中被毁，此次坍塌前，许多人员正在对它进行修复。

塔顶钻石球不见

美联社报道，2009年5月7日，缅甸军人领袖丹瑞的妻子和其他家庭成员到该佛寺出席宗教仪式，见证了当局把一颗钻石球放置在佛塔顶端。该钻石球也在坍塌事故中掉了下来。

据悉，当局还在寻找钻石球和其他（收藏在佛塔内的）珍贵饰品。”（编译：子规）

YANGON (Myanmar) - AN ANCIENT pagoda collapsed close to Myanmar's main city of Yangon on Saturday injuring more than 30 people, most of whom were soldiers working on ikawattreconstruction of the site, police told AFP.

A police officer said it was not known why the Danok pagoda in Dalla township, sat across a river from Yangon, had fallen suddenly in the afternoon, but the collapse came after two days of heavy rains.

'The volunteers are trying to help those still trapped underneath the collapsed pagoda. So far more than 30 people are injured,' the officer told AFP.

'Many soldiers were injured as they were working on the pagoda construction,' he said.

Military, navy, police, fire brigade and local Red Cross members were stationed at a nearby jetty to help ferry the wounded to hospital.

Yangon General Hospital confirmed 26 injured people had arrived from the pagoda for treatment, but did not elaborate on their injuries.

Danok Pagoda, famous in Myanmar because it is enshrined with two sacred Buddhist relics, was damaged during Cyclone Nargis in May last year and was recently undergoing reconstruction.
