[Buddha-l] New pagoda with relics being built in Mumbai

[Bankei]

Hello Joanna

Thank you for the article. This both interesting and strange that women are
prohibited. On a trip to Burma I noticed a few pagoda also prohibitted women
in certain areas. When I questioned a Burmese about this, he said it related
to menstration.

Also interesting is that this structure cost $22,000,000 to complete!

Regards

Bankei
