While sitting in the shade near Wat Tra Phang Thong, in Sukhothai, Thailand a sign about 5 feet up in a nearby tree caught my eye. Walking over I found that it was a bit of Buddhist wisdom on a hand-painted sign. The advice struck a cord with me, “Old Age is no cause for regret, regret that one is old, having lived in vain.” As we walked the rest of the grounds surrounding the Wat we saw that there were over 15 of these sayings on nine different signs.
In an effort to share them, as well as pictures of the many beautiful Buddha images and statues in Sukhothai, below is a two minute video slide show of the Buddha’s Wisdom and Images. Enjoy!
