Hello,
Any information on that would be appreciated. I'm not a reporter or
anything; I am a Theravadan Buddhist, aware of the symbolism of the
shrine to many in Myanmar, and just wonder if it weathered the storm.

There was a bit of damage, but was quickly cleaned and repaired. This
article talks a little about it: http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/05/11/asia/yangon.php
I've been there and seen it's beauty and wonder and would be
devastated if it were destroyed by the storm.
