Flaking with Adoration

August 4, 2008 By MyBKK

The strange, flaking texture of this Buddha’s gold is not a sign of its neglect or abandonment- rather, its a sign of devotion. Visitors to this temple can purchase tiny squares of gold leaf. By affixing the gold to the Buddha, they are helping in the upkeep of the temple, and thereby earning merit for the next life.
