Reclining Budda in Bangkok

This Budda was in temple next to the famous "Reclining Budda". We got to go in and see how the make offerings to the Budda. Michelle was given a flower to place in a vase, a candle to light and put below the statue, and a small gold paper to stick to the small Budda. You must take off your shoes and never point your feet towards the Budda.

This is the head of the Reclining Budda. We are standing right in front of it, so it is hard to get the whole Budda in the picture. This Budda is huge!

This photo is taken from up above the Budda.

The bottom of the Reclining Budda's feet are beautiful. The are covered with pictures made with mother of pearl.
After viewing the Reclining Budda, the kids were given a small handful of coins to put in these pots. The pots are offerings to the Budda and you are to make wishes. They are suppose to wish for happiness, good health, and good fortune etc
