Temple blessed

It was then reconstructed in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and it presently serves as the national center for Buddhist studies. The temple is brightly colored, with highlights of brilliant yellow and red. When you walk into the sim, the Phra Ongteu, the sim's eponymous huge bronze Buddha, sits serenely in a bhumisparsa mudra "earth witness" pose, symbolizing the moment immediately before he obtained enlightenment. Though the temple isn't particularly impressive, its central downtown position makes it an ideal spot for a meditative stroll. Sangha College, which was founded in 1929 by Prince Phetsarath and Somdet Phra Loukeo Outhen Sakda, the head of the Lao sangha and Governor of Vientiane, is located within the wat. #museumquest#art#travelguide#historicculture#summervacation#beachvacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer
