My Gallery - Asarahabucha Day

Asarahabucha Day is one of the most important Buddhist days. There are three important circumstances as follows:

Buddha gave the first sermon called “Thamachak-kappawattanasuit”

There was the first monk in Buddhism.

There were complete three pillars which are Buddha, Buddha's teaching and monk in Buddhism.

In the morning, people will go a temple in order to make merit by donating some food, money and essential stuff to monks. In the evening, people will join “Wien Tein”, making merit by three times clockwise walking tranquilly around a main monastery. Moreover, people can go into the main temple in order to join chanting and listen to sermons from the monks.

My sisters and I took these series at Thamsatit Temple, BKK Thailand. All photos were taken by EOS 400D with kit 18-55. This was our first attempt to take life photos at night time. It was pretty hard to take photos because my lens was not good enough in low light situation even I bumped ISO up to 1600. Anyway it was good experience for us. Any comments are always welcome (click each photo to see a bigger photo).
