鲁万韦利塞亚
卢万维利舍耶 大佛塔(Ruwanveli Seya Stupa)是阿努拉德普勒城中最宏伟、最受尊崇的古代僧伽罗 佛教文化遗产之一,并被列为联合国教科文组织世界文化遗产。它由都图加蒙努国王(公元前161–137年)建造,他来自鲁胡纳地区——从古至今,这片土地孕育了斯里兰卡岛上许多伟大的英雄。卢万维利舍耶 大佛塔(Ruwanveli Seya Stupa),也被称为“摩诃大塔”(僧伽罗语:伟大的达戈巴)或“拉特纳帕利大塔”或“斯瓦纳玛利大塔”,是斯里兰卡所有古代佛塔中最受敬仰、最受崇拜的一座。阿努拉德普勒拥有众多古老的文化遗迹,位于马尔瓦图河与两个大型古代人工灌溉水库——蒂萨湖和阿巴亚湖(巴萨瓦库拉马湖)之间。这两个水库与河流东岸的古代努沃勒湖一起,构成了阿努拉德普勒区农业的重要生命线。
在阿努拉德普勒南部被毁的南墙外,有三座主要古老佛塔——卢万维利舍耶 大佛塔、米里萨韦提耶 达戈巴、杰塔瓦纳拉马亚 大佛塔——它们完美对应着猎户座七颗星中的三颗:参宿七(Rigel)、参宿三(Mintaka)与参宿五(Bellatrix)的天体排列。古埃及人(公元前3150年——传统埃及年代学)将这些恒星与奥西里斯——太阳、重生与来世之神联系在一起。
位于斯里兰卡的阿努拉德普勒(低重力异常值:–104米大地水准面),虽然远在印度北部菩提伽耶以南,但与其相差仅3.5度向西。菩提伽耶是乔达摩·佛陀成就无上觉悟的地方,在佛教宇宙观中被视为“帕塔维那比”(梵语:地球之脐)。菩提伽耶的对跖点——通过贯穿地球中心的轴线相连的地球另一侧——是玛雅文明(公元前3114年——玛雅长纪历)中被称为“宇宙之脐”的太阳神庙,它位于联合国教科文组织世界遗产地标库斯科(克丘亚语:宇宙之脐),靠近失落的玛雅城市马丘比丘。
除了围绕卢万维利舍耶 大佛塔(Ruwanveli Seya Stupa)的这些无法解释的宇宙与地理之谜外,卢万维利舍耶 和 米里萨韦提耶 的建造地点也因极为特殊的原因而被选定。而且,还有更多令人惊叹的细节……
