Items related to Spiritual Abodes of Thailand
Synopsis
To appreciate Thailand is to appreciate the meaning of its complex religious fabric. Spiritual Abodes of Thailand reveals the significance behind the distinctive structures and rituals that are so evident throughout Thailand today. Thai worship practices, religious beliefs and the influence that these beliefs have on the lifestyle, society and landscape of Thailand are all explored through a series of beautifully illustrated full-colour pictures. Along country roads and in royal palaces, ordinary homes and government offices, one sees the importance of guardian spirits, supernatural forces, shrines, and temples to the Thais. Though the country is itself overwhelmingly Buddhist, the religion is intricately weaved with alternative beliefs, such as spiritualism, animism and deism. Further impact by Indian and Chinese cultures throughout history has given Thais the unique and colourful customs they so evidently cherish today.
