Beautiful temple

[argothide]

Vía @mochileros.org Nadie sabe con certeza cómo esa cabeza de #Buda  terminó entrelazada en las raíces. Es una obra majestuosa e impresionante. Cuando uno la puede ver de cerca se puede dar cuenta que no existe intervención humana ni tallado alguno. No hay huellas de manipulación. Es la misma corteza la que modela a la perfección este rostro. Una teoría sugiere que el árbol simplemente creció alrededor de la cabeza de Buda durante el  período en el templo quedó abandonado. La otra hipótesis apunta a que un ladrón se llevó la cabeza fuera del templo para esconderla.  Esto podría haber sucedido en el año 1900 donde se sabe que una de las áreas del templo colapsó y atrajo a su vez a  saqueadores y buscadores de tesoros escarbando el área. Es posible que el ladrón nunca volviera por su botín o simplemente no pudiera moverla más allá de las murallas que rodean el templo.  Entonces la cabeza de Buda de piedra fue abandonada en la pared cercana a la entrada de #WatMahathat en donde se puede ver hoy en día rodeada de raíces y formando parte del árbol mismo. Sea como sea es una obra que por su cualidad y circunstancias no deja de evocar la divinidad alrededor de ella. #historiasdeasia #asianomade #asianomada #tailandia #ayutthaya #budismo https://www.instagram.com/p/CDZJM08JzE0/?igshid=1wcm4hgrlz0mk

Wat Mahathat Yuwaratrangsarit - one of the 10 royal temples of the highest class (Thai: พระอารามหลวง ชั้นเอก ชนิดราชวรมหาวิหาร) in Bangkok. 🇹🇭💯🙏😊📸 Greetings and have a nice day all. ~~~~ Wat Mahathat Yuwaratrangsarit (Thai: วัดมหาธาตุยุวราชรังสฤษฎิ์ Built during Ayutthaya period, the temple was then known as Wat Salak. Soon after Bangkok was established as the capital of Siam, the temple became strategically situated between the newly built Grand Palace and Front Palace (residence of the vice-king). As a result, the temple was used for royal ceremonies and funerals. Throughout the past two centuries, the temple has been renovated and elevated in status by many Thai kings and royalties. It became the Wat Mahathat of Bangkok in 1803 and was given its current name in 1996. The temple is also home to Vipassana Meditation centre. Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University, Thailand's oldest higher education institute for Buddhist monks, is on the temple grounds.This is one of the most important universities in Thailand, split into faculty of human sciences, social sciences, an international programme, and a graduate college.The first class was admitted in 1889 and by 1997, both universities became public universities. . . #watmahathat #bangkoktemple #bangkoktemples #travelthailand #ilovethailand #thaiculture #thailandtourism #unseenthailand #thailand_ig #thailandgram #thailandinsider #thailandismagic #beautifulseasia #travelsoutheastasia #southeastasiatrip #discoverasia #visitasia #seasia #seasiatravel #southeastasiatravel #total_asia #amazingasia #asia_vacations #loveasia #weroamabroad #cityshots #createxplore #destination_wow #opticalwander (at Wat Mahathat Yuwaratrangsarit) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf1fR1MPEPB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Wat Mahathat, Ayutthaya, Thailand

Haunting sight of a sandstone Buddha head entwined within the roots of a Bodhi tree. The head had fallen off a larger Buddha image, and was gradually trapped in the constantly growing roots. When the Burmese invaded Ayutthaya in the 18th century, they had raided and destroyed many of the capital’s temples and lopped off Buddha heads.

"We must take adventures in order to know where we truly belong." -Anonymous Life is an adventure. If we do not forge our own path, is it really ours? Adventure doesn't have to mean traveling or doing incredibly noteworthy things. It can mean trying a new food, picking up a new hobby or changing up your running route. It can mean smiling at a stranger, changing majors or forgetting the degree entirely to start your own business doing what you love. Adventure can also be saying no, because in doing so you are also saying yes to something else. You are a co-creator with the universe. You put pen to paper, fingers to strings, brush to canvas, foot to path... And you create the masterpiece that is YOUR life. You may not know what you want to be or where you belong or what your passion is right now... But the only way to gain clarity is to GO AND TRY EVERYTHING. EVEN THE LITTLE THINGS EVEN THE CRAZY THINGS. You'll never know whether something is truly right - or wrong- for you until you actually give it a go. As Marie Forleo says, "Clarity comes from engagement, not thought." --------------------------------------------------------- So tell me, what's your next adventure? What's the one thing you have always dreamt of trying and haven't? What scares you and makes you excited at the same time?

DER BUDDHA IM BAUM 🔻 🔻 Hallo zusammen 👋 🔹 🔹 #Ayutthaya ist eine Stadt in #thailandinstagram , etwa 80 km nördlich von #bangkok🇹🇭 . Es ist die ehemalige Hauptstadt des Königreichs Siam und hatte von 1350 bis zur Zerstörung durch die Burmesen 1767 einen florierenden internationalen Handelshafen. Die Ruinen der Altstadt bilden heute den Geschichtspark #ayutthayathailand , eine archäologische Stätte mit Palästen, buddhistischen Tempeln, Klöstern und Statuen. IM 18. JAHRHUNDERT HATTE AYUTTHAYA MEHR ALS 1 MILLION EINWOHNER UND GALT ALS EINE DER PRÄCHTIGSTEN STÄDTE DER WELT. ZWISCHEN DEN RUINEN DER EHEMALIGEN ALTSTADT SIND JEDOCH NICHT NUR DIE STEINERNEN ÜBERRESTE DER TEMPEL DIE GROSSE ATTRAKTION, SONDERN EIN BAUM... Für Besucher in der heutigen Zeit sind jedoch nicht nur die Mauerreste besonders mystisch, sondern ein uralter "Banyan Tree", dem man sich nur auf ein paar Meter nähern darf. Denn dieser Baum ist heilig. ZUM "LEBEN ERWECKT"... Irgendwann, so geht die Legende, enthaupteten die burmesischen Truppen auch Statuen, um ihre Macht zu demonstrieren.Und so wurde auch einem wertvollen Steinbuddha der Kopf abgeschlagen. Um diesen vor den Feinden zu retten, die Ayutthaya bis zum Jahre 1767 fast vollständig zerstörten, vergruben ihn gläubige Buddhisten an einer Stelle in der Nähe des Tempels. Als wollte Mutter Natur ihn nicht unter der Erde verschüttet wissen, sorgten die Wurzeln eines mächtigen Baumes dafür, dass das Buddha-Antlitz wieder zu Tage trat und somit die heilige Statue wieder "das Licht der Welt erblicken konnte". Der in dem mächtigen, knorrigen Geäst fest eingewachsene Steinkopf des Buddhas gehört heute zu den meistfotografierten Motiven im Geschichtspark von Ayutthaya. #watmahathat 🔸 🔸 Ayutthaya Thailand 🇹🇭 Asia . .
