Greetings to all of you from Bangkok! Today we will see very special places. Before we start, don't forget to contribute to our travel scholarship by subscribing to our channel. We have friends who want to see the world, we need support :)
What's in this documentary? Buddha statue in pure gold weighing 5.5 tons, gold-plated paintings, motifs and much more. We are in a magnificent place both emotionally and architecturally, let's get started.
Although the names are different, there are beliefs gathered under the umbrella of Buddhism. For example, the Chinese believe in Buddhism Mahayana, Tibetan Buddhism, Theravada… Theravada originates from Sri Lanka. So there are influences from Brahmanism and Hinduism as well.
We can call this place the Vatican of Thailand.
There are many Gods and Goddesses. Sitting buddha, reclining buddha, standing buddha… As you can see, there are many Buddhas such as Vishnu, Krishna, Yerevan. To understand and feel this belief, add this place to your route when you go to Thailand.
So who is this Buddha? Actually a human. The prince of a small kingdom belonging to the religion of Hinduism, of the Brahmin caste. He gets bored with his life and starts traveling the world. “There is a lot of pain and we want a lot of happiness,” he says. He reaches nirvana by spreading his teaching to people and purifying himself of worldly pleasures.
Do you think this is a religion? This issue is open to debate. I'm waiting for comments.
Kings are called Rama. The reason is that it is considered the avatar (or reincarnation of the Great Hindu God Vishnu). Kings are considered gods in Thailand. So it's a sensitive issue. So no disrespect. In such a case, the consequences can be severe.
Let me give you a little information about Thai monks: They cannot be vegetarians. They cannot have sexual intercourse. So they can't have relationships with women. We respect.
Hard work.
In the meantime, there is news on the agenda. Thai authorities want to change Bangkok's name to Krung Thep. Maybe it will change its name in the years to come. What are you thinking? Will the name of the city change?
I saw that songs were playing and dances were being performed. What kind of religion, you might say, is that people sing and dance in temples they consider sacred. And I can tell you why not. Does happiness ever have a religion? To the days when we live life to the fullest and live in peace with our beliefs, joy and happiness… Love and respect from Bangkok.
