 note = {The Shwe Dagon Pagoda in Rangoon is the most important Buddhist site 1D Burma, but it is also a talisman of royal or sovereign power, which competing rulers have sought to "possess" in struggles for control of the country. During the British colonial period, it became a site for resistance to foreign rule, and it is closely connected to Burma's history of revolutionary nationalism. The post-1988 military junta, the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC), has sought to assert its control over the pagoda site by sponsoring an ambitious 1999 renovation project - replacement of the hti or finial on the summit of the stupa: but for many Burmese people, the Shwe Dagon remains a symbol of hope and a refuge from worldly suffering, which has been made worse by the SPDC's misrule.},
