Description
“Certain thoughts are prayers. There are moments when, whatever be the attitude of the body, the soul is on its knees.” - Victor Hugo, Les Misérables
“Listening is the beginning of prayer.” - Mother Teresa
“To be present is to be prayerful.” - Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh
The ancient Thai capital of Sukhothai (translated means “dawn of happiness”) was the first capital of Siam founded by King Ramkhamhaeng during the 13th Century. The province's temples and monuments have been restored and is now the Sukhothai Historical Park and has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The beautiful temple of Wat Sri Chum features a large Buddha that is framed perfectly by the temple entrance. These two Buddhists monks not only give a sense of scale of the enormity of the Buddha but of their soulful sense of their faith.
