Scenic point
Four sided Buddha Temple
The Four Sided Buddha Temple is the most important religious place in Bangkok, a place where Thai people sincerely believe in praying and a must go place for foreign tourists. It is located in the most prosperous downtown area of Bangkok. There are high-end hotels, shopping areas and office buildings at the intersection, and visitors are numerous during the day and night.
The Four Sided Buddha is an incomparably benevolent deity, one of the most prosperous places of worship for incense in Thailand, and is highly sought after by Hong Kong and Taiwan stars. The Buddha statue is resplendent, 4 meters high, with four faces at the front, back, left and right, representing compassion, joy and giving, all of which are the same face and gesture.
After entering the fence, you can buy incense offerings on the right side, fold your palms together, put incense between your palms, and kneel down. Leave the incense burner and make a wish. Three sticks of incense and a wreath are used to worship four sides at the same time. Go back to the first side and worship again. Finally, go to the water purification place on the left side and wash the water tank with clean water in a tin bowl. Then, pat the forehead, face and arms to get the blessing of the Buddha on all sides.
If you wish to make a vow, the offerings are different, or through a ceremony: under the cloister next to the Four Sided Buddha, ask dancers in Thai national costume to dance a prayer and blessing song and dance for you to the Four Sided Buddha. Chant the names of the volunteers, who should kneel on the futon in front of the dancers.
Every day, many believers from all over the world go to worship or pray. Thai people passing on the overpass will stop in a hurry when they see the four Buddhas in the distance and say hello to Buddha.
