The night before the Buddha's birthday is a very special time for the devout Buddhists of Thailand. I was honored to be granted permission to film this ancient sacred ceremony. The gold cloth robes had been removed from the Buddha's circling the courtyard of the temple complex. New ones were prepared and were now being blessed by the Buddhist monks and nuns of Wat Yai. There is also an enormous golden cloth readu to be draped around the central chedhi. The time-worn chants envelope these moments of the full moon time and there is a relaxed atmosphere. The beautiful gold cloth will be placed on the Buddha's and the giant chedhi the next morning in great ceremony. A UNESCO World Heritage Site. Enjoy!
love it..
