.hello and hi again.
.what is wat? what do we know about wat? surely 1st thing that across our mind is angkor wat. isnt it?.
.but, do we know what is wat is? in this post, i will try to write something than can be shared together, the wat.
.WAT is a Buddhist sacred precinct with monks quarters, the temple proper, an edifice housing a large image of Buddha, and a structure for lessons. For example in Cambodia, a Wat us used to refer to all kinds of places of worship..Wat generally refers to a Buddhist place of worship, but the technical term is Pootasasna Wat.
.A typical Buddhist wat consists of the following buildings:.
• Usually chaidei or Chedi-conical or bell-shaped Buildings, often containing relics of Buddha• vihan - a meeting and prayer room• mondop - a Usually open, square building with four arches and a pyramidal roof, used to worship religious texts or objects• sala - a pavilion for relaxation or activities Miscellaneous• boat - the holiest prayer room, also rates Called the "ordination hall" as it is where new monks take THEIR vows. Architecturally it is similar to the monastery, the main differences are the eight cornerstones placed around the boat to ward off evil. Usually the boat is more decorated than the viharn.• bibiloteca - Tripitaka library where Buddhist scriptures are kept• drum tower• bell tower• multipurpose hall is a building in a temple. In the past this hall was only for monks to study in, as parian is a Pali word meaning 'Educated monk' or 'monk student.
