Wat Phra Chao Phya-thai, populary known as Wat Yai Chai-Mongkol, is situated to the southeast of the Ayutthaya city. It’s located near the main Ayutthaya ruins and a short distance from the walls of Ayutthaya. This temple is famed for an impressively large statue of the Reclining Buddha inside the temple compund. Built by King U Thong (Ayutthaya’s first ruler) in 1357) The large chedi there can be seen from a great distance. This pagoda is bout 60 meters high in Ceylonese style named Phra Chedi Chai Monghon. Normally it is called Phra Chedi Yai or Wat Yai Chai Mongkhol now. People come to play respect and are seen here especially during weekends and public holidays. The chedi is surrounded by sitting Buddhas covered with golden robes shown here above. This mudra, formed with all five fingers of the right hand extended to touch the ground, symbolizes the Buddha's enlightenment under the bodhi tree, when he summoned the earth goddess, to bear witness to his enlightenment. Literally the gesture called Bhumisparsha mudra translates into touching the earth. It is more commonly known as the earth witness mudra. This is a great place to visit and wander around, so give yourself plenty of time for a visit.
The gesture of Buddha's calling the Earth to witness, pointing or touching the ground with his right hand to prove his right to Buddhahood.

De tempel Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon wordt ook wel de Wat Phra Chao Phya-thai genoemd. Het is enkele minuten rijden buiten Ayutthaya's oude stad. De tempel is gbouwd door Koning U-Thong in 1357 om te mediteren. Toen Koning Naresuan in 1592 tijdens een gevecht de Birmese kroonprins vermoorde liet hij een 60 meter hoge nieuwe pagode bouwen. Deze pagode moest hoger worden dan die van de chedi Phu Khao Thong. De laatste was immers gebouwd door de Birmezen. De pagode, kan van grote afstand al worden aanschouwd. Geheel rondom de pagode zijn zittende boeddha's geplaatst zoals hierboven goed te zien is. De zittende boeddha houding met de linkse hand rustend op haar schoot terwijl de rechtse hand de Bhumisparsa mudra aanneemt. Met deze mudra, handpalm naar binnen met middelste vingers de grond rakend, roept zij de Aarde als getuige. Deze boedha wordt beschouwd als een grote genezeres van de geest en ziel. Een prachtige plek om even rustig rond te dwalen en lekker te fotograferen.

This is one of the more difficult balancing poses in Yoga, Natarajasana - Lord of the dance posture. Besides for balance, Natarajasana is very beneficial for strengthening thighs, calfs, knees and ankles and also nourishes hip, spine, back and shoulder.
This particular Natarajasana is combined with the Guyan Mudra, when the tip of the thumb touches the tip of the index finger, stimulating knowledge and ability and imparting receptivity and calm.

Mudras are described as hand positions. Each area of the hand has a reflex reaction in a specific part of the brain. A Mudra locks and guides energy flow and reflexes to the brain.

One of the major reasons why we need to work towards protecting the environment is because it helps to protect humanity. If we didn’t have our environment, then we wouldn’t have a place to live or resources to live.it is our moral obligation to do so. As a human who lives on earth, it is our responsibility to make sure that it is protected. We must give back to the future generation that what we have received and enjoying. Give them an environment that isn’t damaged and teach them how to continue living sustainably. I request all good souls to plant Banyan tree while making tree plantation. It will have a long lasting effect for mankind and go a long way in carry forwarding the nature to the next generation and will also give fruits useful for birds.

The Samadhi Statue is a statue situated at Mahamevnāwa Park in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. The Buddha is depicted in the position of the Dhyana Mudra, the posture of meditation associated with his first Enlightenment. Whether the Buddha's Enlightenment was the experience technically called Samadhi, or some other phenomenon, may depend upon the philosophical allegiance of the believer. In the Dhyana Mudra the Buddha sits cross - legged with his upturned palms placed one over the other on his lap. This position is universally known throughout the Buddhist world, and this statue is therefore one of the most typical pieces of Buddhist sculpture. It is not to be confused with the very similar "Earth-Touching Mudra," which depicts the simple action the Buddha took to fend off the illusions projected by Mara, who was desperate to prevent the Buddha from realizing that his, Mara's, projections, and with them the entire world, are an illusion. This statue is 8 feet in height and carved from granite.
