Black Buddha of Sen Tung, Thailand

Just on the other side of Sukhumvit road,there's a 20 ft tall black Buddha statue. One day they might cover it in gold, so here's a video in case this happens :)
Music: "The world is full of plankton" by Amorphous Androgynous, aka the future of "The Future Sound of London"

This statue isn't black because of race. They usually start black until the locals raise enough money to cover them in gold :)

@PrabsDice Awesome indeed. As I said in the video's description: "The world is full of plankton" by Amorphous Androgynous

@nonboong Thats exactly right, at our temples that are part of the Forest Sangha it takes us years to get enough donations to buy gold leaf to cover the either black or white statues. The one in the vid hasa gold Angsa draped across it for the time being. The Buddha was a Prince of Indian race, not Negroid as some in the African Guilt Industry would have us believe.

@MrIndoCanadian Where did I say Gautama was a Sri Lankan? I said we have Indians and Sri Lankans (who are mostly Buddhist) come to our temple in Australia.

[MrIndoCanadian]

@supatipanno Gautama was not from Sri Lanka he was North Indian sort of olive skinned.

@mjohanss1975 I read the first sentence, and realized that I was about to waste time reading the rest. U can't think I'ma go back and forth on THIS shyt all day. Come on now. SMH

@ThaLinguist that's called working, relaxing and partying. I don't go looking for buddha statues. They are everywhere around me all the time...I can't do anything without seeing a dozen statues. I bet you believed I went around actually looking for statues, huh?

[ThaLinguist]

@mjohanss1975 SMH. That's called "wasting time"

[mjohanss1975]

@ThaLinguist I haven't seen that many what? buddha statues? Well, I only see a couple of hundred of them a day, every day, for the past 15 years, in half a dozen different countries...I guess that's not too much...only about a million or so altogether.
