Journey to the Temple of Truth

Recently, more and more people are trying to find out what is the truth and how to recognize it. It is believed that each person has his own concept of truth. You can refute it, or you can confirm it. But now more and more places are opening where the truth can be revealed to any person..

In Pattaya, Thailand is the Temple of Truth called Wang Boran or Prasat Mai. You can get there either with a guided tour or simply unaccompanied. However, it should be noted that you cannot take any weapons with you, even pneumatic pistols, as with this luggage you simply will not be allowed to pass. But guided tours are conducted only in English. Therefore, those tourists who do not speak this language simply come to the Temple themselves. After all, this is a really interesting place.

Approaching the Temple of Truth, you will see a unique carved wood structure up to 105 meters high. It was this building that was attributed to the tallest wooden buildings in the world..

There is a fee to enter, but the fee is the same for everyone. It is 500 baht. When you pay for your visit, you will be given a booklet with an insert in Russian. But if you're lucky, you can join a tour group where the tour will be conducted in your native language. Such excursions are rare, but sometimes there are guides who speak Russian. If you are so lucky, you will not only see this unique structure, but also hear the history of this Temple.

The most interesting in this building are the figurines. Of course, you can find a story about them in the literature, but here everything looks much more interesting. Examining the architecture of this building, you can see that the main four principles on which Eastern philosophy is based were enclosed in the figurines depicting the Virgin. They are located on the main spiers of the temple. Their value can be equated to a PCP rifle shot, so accurately they indicate a philosophical doctrine.

For example, the first girl holds a blooming lotus flower in her hands. Its meaning can be interpreted as an axiom - philosophy exists. The second figurine depicts a girl holding a book in her hands. This can be deciphered as a statement that any philosophy requires its development. The third figure contains the whole composition. A young girl holds a child in her arms and at the same time leads a number of old people. The sages reveal this composition as the independence of the existing world from the people around them, since they are born and die, but the world remains. The fourth figure is clear to everyone, since it depicts a girl with a dove. It is a symbol of the world that humanity should strive for..
