![]() Wat Phra Sri Rattana Satsadaram (Wat Phra Kaew) is also called "the Temple of the Emerald Buddha". This amazing temple is located adjacent to the Grand Palace and is filled with over a hundred ornate buildings and statues and sculptures most related to either Buddhism or Hindu. The grounds are ornate with many gardens and statues. These buildings are surrounded by walls on all sides, the entire wall is painted with scenes from Ramayana, which is a ancient Hindu Tail of the gods. Cameras are not allowed in this church so it is difficult to get a photo of the tiny (between 60 and 75 cm) Emerald Buddha. Not much is known for certain about the statue, except that it isn't actually made of emerald but rather of green jade or jasper. The tiny sacred Buddha is ceremoniously has a change of clothes with each change of season.

The Japanese,Lankans and East Asians feel that hey have a common link with the Hindoos via Buddha ? They forget that the Hindoos exterminated all the Buddhists ! They also forget that all Buddhist sculptures and scriptures, indicate Mongoloid features of the Buddha – which are not Indian !
