Sure, I’m vaguely familiar with the meditation and enlightenment aspect of it but that has been the limits of my knowledge. Recently I have decided to take a deeper look at the practice and in turn a deeper look into myself. . At the core of Buddhism are The four Noble Truths, the first of which being that in life there is suffering. However the teachings guides you through the reasons for suffering and how to end suffering. One major cause to human suffering is our desire, craving such things as material goods and then leading to our attachment to them. With this identified one can choose to crave less and understand that the only thing permanent in life is impermanence. All that we have now will not last forever so why get attached to them when they will only cause us suffering when they are gone. I’m not talking on a superficial level that is only thought about in times of crisis but on a day to day basis. . Looking at this monk walking on the beach at the crack of dawn in only a robe and without shoes, I get it now. I don’t think I could be as disciplined as this but I got to start somewhere. . . . . #sonyalpha #sonya7riii #travelblogger #travelvlogger #travelgoals #travelguide #wanderluster #wandering #instatravel #instavacation #natgeoyourshot #lpfanphoto #troveon #southeastasia #beautifulseasia #travelsoutheastasia #thailand #huahin #igthailand #thailandinsider #amzthld #explorethailand #visitthailand #vscothailand #gulfofthailand #buddha #buddhism #buddhist #buddhistmonk #buddhastatue](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6215554/1cfef31a-a27f-487c-8b1d-a98d39b75849.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![Thai Views | Wat Khao Takiap: Though I have been living in the Asia for about 8 years and with a majority of Asian nations being predominantly Buddhist, I have never truly looked into the practice.

Well there are no coincidences, that’s for sure. Along one of the many beaches of Hua Hin, Thailand, sits a tiny peninsula that houses Wat Khao Takiab. Like most temples, a statue of Buddha is displayed in some shape or form. Here the statue is one of a standing Buddha with the palms of both hands upright and facing outwards, called “Repelling the Oceans”. One common meaning of this posture is the belief that on a visit to India, Buddha used the power of meditation to repel a wall of water that was unleashed by a hermit in hopes to cause a flood. There is also a second meaning “Preventing the Relative from Fighting”. Situated along the coastline of Hua Hin, I would say the former meaning to be more fitting and as I mentioned, no coincidences and hopefully no flooding to come. . . . . #sonyalpha #sonya7riii #travelblogger #travelvlogger #travelgoals #travelguide #wanderluster #wandering #instatravel #instavacation #natgeoyourshot #lpfanphoto #troveon #southeastasia #beautifulseasia #travelsoutheastasia #thailand #huahin #igthailand #thailandinsider #amzthld #explorethailand #visitthailand #vscothailand #gulfofthailand #buddha #buddhism #buddhist #buddhastatue](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6215554/c6553a17-89e7-4cdc-b756-775ab68c032c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ## Visit Khao Takiab Temple Activities --- --- ## Plan a trip to see Khao Takiab Temple Price found within the past 48 hours.
