Wat Phra Singh in Chiang Mai
is one of the biggest Buddhist temples
in the city and houses the Phra Buddha Sihing, an important Buddha statue.
Page 3
In the Wat compound there are famous Buddhist quotes and sayings
attached to trees throughout the garden, which makes for an enlightened
walk around the Wat.
On my walks around the old city I would often make a detour to this
garden to ponder these Buddhist quotes on life.
