Here are some factors you might be interesting!

History of Sagaing

According to Myanmar legend, the Buddha himself visited Sagaing Hills. The 99 ogres of Sagaing Hills became the disciples of Lord Buddha and reached the state of Sotapanna, the first stage on the path to Nirvana. These 99 disciples built a pagoda enshrining the lower robe of Lord Buddha. The head of the ogres was known by the name Zeta. Therefore, his pagoda was named "Zetawun".

During the Pagan Era, the revered Buddhist monk "Shin Arahan" came to Sagaing Hills. He was the one who started Theravada Buddhism in Myanmar. He stayed at Anuruddha Kyaung, under the patronage of King Anawratha. Sagaing has a very strong religious past. Looking back at the history of Sagaing, there were 9 original Kyaungs or monastries, Zetawun Pagoda, Shin Arahan ordination hall, and other buildings for the initiation of adult monks.

Pariyatti, the theorical aspect of Buddhism, flourished in Sagaing starting with the Vinayalankara, the sub-commentary on Monastic Code of Displine, by Taungphila Sayadaw. Also, during Myanmar's Pinya Era, the well known Shin Ariyavamsa composed the Manisaramanusa, a subcommentary on Tigakyaw and Manidipa, the subcommentary on Mulatika. These two treaties concern Abhidhamma doctrine. Ashin Varatejo, the abbot of Tilokaguru monastery, composed the subcommentary on Mahaparitta. The author monk at the time of writing this was only 25 years old, and in his 5^th year of monkhood. By and by, the Pali Sutta, Vinaya, and Abhidhamma Pitkas came to be subjects of superb scholarship in Sagaing.

Patipatti, the practical application of the Buddha's teachings, were exemplified by such notable monks as Mahagandayon Sayadaw and Yatana Htut Khaung Sayadaw. In this way, Sagaing hills became a flourishing ground for the practice as well as the study of Buddhism. Monasteries, besides being holy places, are focal points of academic study. It is therefore fitting that Sitagu International Buddhist Academy gas come into being, along the same traditional lines as the glorious Buddhist Institutions of Sagaing's and Myanmar's past.
