Can you imagine that Thailand, which is known as the "country of Thousand Buddhas", also has particularly "alternative" temples?

As a Buddhist art team that has been traveling in Thailand, Myanmar , Nepal , in the past two years, Xiaofutu has reduced its outing due to the epidemic, but there are always many interesting experiences worth sharing.

For example, you have heard of the Lost Thai Temple, Black, White, Blue, Pink Temple... But do you know the "Beckham Temple"?

This not only provides Beckham golden body , but also various brains that break through the sky. Let’s first appreciate a few pictures to learn about it~

△ Even the image of Jackie Chan has been made into a sculpture and placed here, which is eye-opening!

The name of this temple is Wat Pariwat, and the temple has a history of more than two hundred years.

According to legend, a few years ago, temple managers and monks expanded the new hall, and a Beckham fan sponsored a small golden Buddha statue to commemorate the heroic posture of the idol when he was a player.

This statue was seen as a half-squatting posture, wearing the iconic Manchester United jersey, leaving Beckham's red middle-parted head, and holding up the giant Buddha statue with other statues. The statue is abrupt but cleverly integrated with the temple, making Wat Pariwat reported by foreign media.

do you think that's all? ? ? I underestimate such a "Internet celebrity" temple too much.

Pariwat is different from traditional Thai Buddhist temples. There are always some traditional religious patron saint statues on the houses of ordinary temples, which means to block evil spirits. But in addition to worshiping Buddhist gods, the Pariwat temple also adds superheroes, myths and legends, cartoon characters, and animal characters from various countries , don’t have too many highlights!

Hulk, Batman , as well as the Great Sage, Zhu Bajie, Disney's Mickey Mouse , and Japanese Pikachu are also here to join in the fun.

The scenery outside the temple is eye-opening. The murals in the temple can also be described as ingenious work. The 3D effect murals created by porcelain dolls are very exquisite!

Wat Pariwat As a temple, the statue is indeed quite "eye-stimulating" and does not look like a serious temple at all. However, from another perspective, this also reflects Thailand's tolerance for other diverse cultures and can also attract young Thais to learn Buddhism.

Wat The deputy abbot of Pariwat explained:

"The art now is the same all over the world, and there can be many different forms of art.These can be regarded as meaningful art, allowing children to become interested and pay attention to Buddhism through these sculptures after seeing it. The story behind Superman is that he only does good things, and Batman also only does good things. He appears in an image of teaching people to do good things, just like Superman becomes an ordinary person after doing good things, and does not want others to know that he is Superman. Buddhism also teaches people to do good deeds and does not expect rewards. "

And these sculpture crafts in the temple are handmade, and each exquisite mural tells a different story. You can feel that every corner is cleverly arranged by craftsmen.

If these crafts are not used in temples or palaces, ordinary people will not use them. These craft art will slowly disappear, and craftsmen will disappear with them. Therefore, the temple does all this to protect craftsmen and art.

This cross-border integration of Buddhism and popular culture is actually the same as the combination of Japanese temples and technology. It is all to carry forward and protect the inheritance of Buddhist culture by more adapting to modernization.

It has to be said that due to the existence of this temple, many people's impression of Thai temples has changed a lot.
