ศาสนาในประเทศไทย Religion in Thailand

90% of Thai people are Buddhists which the main concept of Buddhism is "Do the good, omit bawdy and purify the mind.", live solitary and simplicity.

In addition to the main concept that I've said previously,Buddhism also have another interesting dogmas such as The case of The Pentateuque's statue.

 Pentateuque's statue

Fabien Mérelle,the artist who create this statue want to reflect the cruelty of the current social that man have to bear and manage with duty and pressures which the artist use an elephant as representative of duty and pressures.





In Buddhism, he teach to let oneself on because many thing in the world is not belong to you(including your body)thing that belong to you because your mind adhere it -(in my opinion, he mean if your body belong to you, you must able to control your body not to age-die but in reality you can't because it isn't to you)
so if you can let oneself on, you will no longer suffer from bearing of duty and pressures. (don't confuse between let oneself on and do nothing, it's difference!)

(this part I may describe not 100% correctly due to language issues so if you interested, you can read more from Tripiṭaka)


put food offerings in a monk's alms bowl(Thai = ทำบุญตักบาตร)
is one of practice for preservation of religion, in addition the practice also teach the Buddhists know the giving.
