This morning I went to the temple called " Wat Arun or Temple of the Dawn ", I found the pure beauty and very simply of life. There were many thoughts popped up in my mind regarding to lives and human being when I just kept looking each details of architecture.
Architecture:
The outstanding feature of Wat Arun is its central prang (Khmer-style tower). Begun in 1809, it may have been named "Temple of the Dawn" because the first light of morning reflects off the surface of the temple with a pearly iridescence. Steep steps lead up to two terraces. The height is reported by different sources as between 66.8 m (219 ft) and 86 m (282 ft). The corners are surrounded by 4 smaller satellite prangs. The prangs are decorated by seashells and bits of porcelain which had previously been used as ballast by boats coming to Bangkok from China. The presiding Buddha image, cast in the reign of Rama II, is said to have been moulded by His Majesty himself. The ashes of King Rama II are buried in the base of the image.
The central prang is topped with a seven-pronged trident, referred to by many sources as the "Trident of Shiva".
What does it make me think of it? In this picture, I looked at statues carried this prang around the stairway, it reminded me of ordinary people especially people in town. They have got all responsibilities and duties which they must carry and handle each days...just like the statues. Differentially, the statues have got no feeling like us...if they did..they might have been said " Oh! That was very heavy...anyone would prefer to shift with me? Or " Looked at me...people from all over the world came to see me everyday and took my pictures, I was handsome thought ". What about people think about what they carry all these days?
In this issue, I would like to remind everyone...youth comes from your heart passed through your thoughts. You are getting youth everyday through what you see and what you think each days. Some little things, some people may not realize,but some people they may get their attention which made them happy!
You are what you want, not only you are what you eat....Youth is in your soul...for everyone...
