Keep your eyes on THAILAND! I don’t know what is happening or why… but Thailand seems to be a place that may have some real significance in the global picture.
In this post, we are going to take a look at Thailand and maybe get an idea of why there seems to be a focus on Thailand and why it is in the News.
In this first video, be aware of cultural aspects of the nation as well as the scenic views. Notice the Temples that are shown, they do not nor could not show you all of the Temples. There are an absurd number. Watch particularly for BUDDHA Statues and Dragons. See how many you can count. They come in many shapes and sizes and colors. Though the Buddhas are primarily GOLD.

A Temple Like No Other: Wat Samphran Up Close
Wat Samphran doesn’t look like a real place. It looks like something pulled from the pages of a fantasy novel or the set of a high-budget movie. But there it stands — the now-iconic red dragon tower of the Dragon Temple Bangkok, rising boldly into the sky just outside the city. The 17-story cylindrical structure, freshly painted a glowing crimson, is coiled by a 350-meter-long green dragon that wraps around it from base to top.
This dragon isn’t just for show. It’s part of the experience — a structure you can actually enter and walk through. Walking up the Dragon Temple in Thailand means journeying inside the belly of this magnificent beast, spiraling higher with every step until you reach panoramic views at the summit.
Though often overlooked in favor of more popular temples like Wat Arun or the Grand Palace, visiting the red dragon tower from Bangkok is a totally different experience. Located about 40 kilometers away in Nakhon Pathom, it’s peaceful, serene, and far from the usual tourist crowds. If you’ve ever wondered how to get to the Dragon Temple near Bangkok, it’s surprisingly simple — a Grab ride or local taxi gets you there in about an hour, depending on traffic.
This isn’t just a quirky building. It’s a spiritual destination with rich symbolism, local reverence, and incredible design. In fact, as we’ll explore in the next section, there’s more to this site than meets the eye — including fascinating Wat Samphran temple history and facts that make the journey even more meaningful.
A Brief History and Symbolism Behind the Dragon
Wat Samphran may not be centuries old, but it is deeply symbolic in every detail. Built in the 1980s after a monk’s vision, the temple’s design is rich with spiritual meaning. The tower itself stands at exactly 80 meters tall, a deliberate reference to the age at which the Buddha is believed to have passed away — 80 years old. This height isn’t just architectural; it’s philosophical. It reflects the full journey of life, and the peaceful completion of it in alignment with Buddhist beliefs.
The structure also includes 17 floors, symbolizing stages on the path to enlightenment. And the 350-meter-long green dragon coiling around the tower isn’t simply decorative — it represents protection, spiritual ascent, and the often winding journey toward awakening. This is what makes the Dragon Temple Bangkok more than a curiosity. It’s a space where every element — from its height to its symbolism — tells a deeper story.
Entering the Dragon: A 5-Minute Stairway to the Sky
Once you arrive and step into the temple complex, the tower looms above you like a dream. And yes — you can walk through the dragon. A hidden entrance inside the base of the tower leads into a tunnel-like corridor that spirals upward, taking you inside the dragon’s body.
It only takes about five minutes to reach the top, but the experience is unforgettable. The ramp inside is sloped gently, with occasional slits in the wall where sunlight cuts through, casting shadows that dance along the tiled path. There’s no music, no noise, just the sound of your own footsteps echoing as you ascend in silence.
I kept touching the walls as I walked — it felt like something ancient, alive. You’re not just walking up a tower. You’re journeying through something symbolic, powerful, and strangely grounding.
The View from the Top: Standing in the Dragon’s Head
Reaching the top, you step out into daylight once again — and find yourself face-to-face with the dragon’s head, perfectly positioned to overlook the countryside below. The views from here are expansive and humbling: green rice fields stretch toward the horizon, temple roofs dot the landscape, and the sound of birds floats in on the breeze.
Looking down, the full spiral of the dragon becomes visible. It’s only from this height that you can truly appreciate the scale and design of the place. This is the spot where I paused the longest — not just for photos, though it’s incredibly photogenic — but to breathe, reflect, and enjoy the stillness.
Beyond the Tower: The Hidden Paths of the Temple Grounds
Most visitors come for the dragon, but Wat Samphran’s temple grounds are worth their own exploration. I took my time walking through the gardens and side trails, many of which were unexpectedly long and peaceful. There’s a network of walkways winding through flower beds, under trees, and alongside small shrines and meditation huts.
At one point, I found a shaded trail that led around the back of the complex. The path meandered for what felt like nearly a kilometer, taking me past hidden statues, forested corners, and quiet sitting areas. Unlike the dramatic energy of the dragon tower, these parts of the temple were deeply calming, as if they existed just to give visitors space to be still.
It was here that I felt the true soul of the place — not in the bold architecture, but in the quiet invitations to linger.
A Surprise Encounter: Giant Lizards Roaming the Grounds
As I continued my walk, I noticed movement near a lotus pond. At first, I thought it was a dog or maybe a monitor screen flickering in the distance. But then I saw it clearly — a massive lizard (fitting to the settings of the Dragon Temple Bangkok), probably over a meter long, slowly making its way through the grass. It wasn’t alone either. I spotted at least three large monitor lizards during my visit.
They weren’t aggressive, just majestic in their own way — thick-bodied, moving lazily like they owned the place. And honestly, they kind of do. The monks and staff clearly let them roam freely, part of the temple’s peaceful balance with nature.
Seeing them added another layer of magic. As if the dragon above wasn’t enough, here were real-life mini-dragons casually patrolling the grounds.

Religion in Thailand
Buddhism is the predominant religion in Thailand. It is practised by more than 90% of the total population and is deeply influenced by Hinduism, with most Siamese Thai people revering major Hindu deities in their day to day religious practices.[2][3] The Thai Constitution does not indicate any state religion, but promotes Buddhism, while guaranteeing religious freedom for all Thai citizens. Ramakien (the Thai version of Ramayana) is recognised as the country’s national epic.[4]
Many other people, especially among the Isan ethnic group, practise Tai folk religions. A significant minority Muslim population, mostly constituted by Thai Malays, is present especially in the southern regions. According to an Ipsos survey, Christians might be a similarly significant religious minority population (4%).[2] It’s also reported that 1% prefer not to say and another 1% has no religion. Thai law officially recognizes five religions: Buddhism, Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, and Sikhism.[5]4

The Emerald BUDDHAThe Emerald Buddha is a figurine of a sitting Budha, that is the is the palladium of the Kingdom of Thailand. The Buddha is made of green jade, surprisingly not of emerald, clothed in gold is approximately 45 cm tall. The Buddha is kept in the Chapel of the Emerald Buddha, which is located on the grounds of the Grand Palace in Bangkok.
Legend tells that that the Emerald Buddha was created in Pataliputra, India, which is now the city of Patna in 43 BCE by Nagasena.
It wasn’t until 1434 that sources indicate the resurfacing of the statue in Northern Thailand. There is one story about the discovery: “lightning struck a pagoda in a temple in Chiang Rai, after which something became visible under the stucco. The Emerald Buddha was dug out and the people thought the figurine was made from emerald, hence its current name.”
Although the Buddha is just a simple jade statue, it is dressed in garments that are made of fine gold. The Buddha’s clothing is changed by the King of Thailand, to celebrate the changing of seasons. This occurs three times a year: 1st Waning of Lunar Month 4, 8 and 12. Source

World’s largest Jade Buddha awe visitorsMarch 25, 2013  KUALA LUMPUR – Visitors to the Jade Buddha for Universal Peace exhibition in Kuala Lumpur recently were awed by the world’s largest Jade Buddha. Visitors to the Jade Buddha for Universal Peace exhibition in Kuala Lumpur recently were moved by the size and beauty of the world’s largest Jade Buddha on display. It was a sight to behold as they stood gazed in silent front of the 2.7 metres high Jade Buddha statue sitting in crossed-legged position. Many were seen placed their palms together in silent prayer while others offered fresh flowers and knelt down before the Jade Buddha. “Today they bring this beautiful Jade Buddha here to resemble peace,” said Annai Shree Kriyalakshmi Deviyar, the guru Divine Mother at Kriyalakshmi Mandir Shree Sai Gurukul Charitable Society in Setapak. Annai led a group of 18 student followers from the society in a silent mass prayer for peace in front of Jade Buddha. “Whatever people see in him, they look at him as their Guru and to remember of his teachings but if they come here just to see him and go back, then they will forget the basic things of his teachings. “The main thing is his teaching still live in the form of others that we can’t see. He is always around in the form of mayan teaching us”. A retired government pensioner Kana @ Kanan, 66, and his wife Loh Ah Moi, 60, with their grandchild who took time to visit the exhibition said they felt blessed to view the Buddha image. “We feel peaceful and serene by looking at this beautiful carved statue of Jade Buddha. “This is once in a lifetime opportunity to witness this amazing wonder of the world. “If you miss it, then it’s gone,” said Kanan. The Jade Buddha, carved from a 18-tonne jade boulder, is currently on a tour of major cities around the world before it is finally placed at The Great Stupa of Universal Compassion in Bendigo, Australia. The largest Jade Buddha is carved from an 18-tonne jade boulder and stands at 2.7 metres high and weighs four tonnes.

Green said that Malaysia was the 15th country to showcase the exhibit. Its next stop will be in Penang, then to Tokyo and Yokohama in Japan; after which it will move to Korea and to China. |

Jade Buddha for Universal Peace The Jade Buddha on display The Jade Buddha for Universal Peace is a jade statue of the Gautama Buddha sourced from northern Canada in 2000 and carved by Thai artisans.[1] It is made of polar jade, which is a kind of nephrite.[2] It stands 2.7 metres (8 ft 10 in) high, sitting on a solid alabaster throne of 1.4 metres (4 ft 7 in) high, and is valued at more than A$25 million.[3] The four-tonne statue was created for the Great Stupa of Universal Compassion in Bendigo, Victoria, in Australia and was consecrated by the Dalai Lama.[4] Its model is the Buddha statue of the Mahabodhi Temple in Bodh Gaya, India, which is universally recognized by all Buddhists.

The statue is particularly revered by the global Vietnamese Buddhist community.[5][6] TourThe purpose of exhibiting the Jade Buddha around the world was to raise awareness of Buddhism and promote peace. Lama Zopa Rinpoche said that “It will illuminate the world and bring inconceivable peace and happiness and help prevent the destruction that is happening so much in the world, including war.”[citation needed] “I want to emphasize the importance of so many people, I think it seems millions of people, who have seen the statue and have therefore have had strong imprints placed in their minds for enlightenment. … Please remember the benefits to sentient beings in what you are doing with the tour, by people even merely seeing the Jade Buddha, ultimately brings them extensive benefit.”[citation needed] The Jade Buddha was on tour to major cities around the world before it was finally placed inside the Great Stupa of Universal Compassion in Bendigo. spacer
WORLD EXHIBITION LIST OF CITIES WHERE THE STATUE WAS ON EXHIBITThe Jade Buddha for Universal Peace has been on tour to major cities around the world, inspiring everyone who sees him to reflect upon peace.

This next bit of information on nephrite jade was pulled from What Is Nephrite Jade? 10 Amazing Facts You Should Know! / AuthorHiuyan Lam / Last updated:
What is nephrite jade? Nephrite jade is a green gemstone that humans have prized for centuries.
| Nephrite jade was used mostly in pre-1800 China as well as in New Zealand, the Pacific Coast and Atlantic Coasts of North America, Neolithic Europe, and southeast Asia. Western Canada is the principal source of modern lapidary nephrite. Source |
Many ancient cultures believed that jade had supernatural powers, and it was often used in religious ceremonies.
People also thought it was a stone that could bring energy and fortune.
Nephrite is one of the two variations (the other one is jadeite) of jade rocks. Both are quite expensive.
Nephrite Vs. Jadeite: How Are They Different?If you’re like most people, you probably think that all types of jade are the same. Well, not exactly. There is a big difference between nephrite and jadeite jades, and if you want to make sure that you’re getting the real thing, it’s important to know what to look for. Let’s discuss the differences between these two types of jade! Mineral formation: Each jade type is formed from a different mineral. Nephrite comes from the tremolite-actinolite mineral, while jadeite is the result of pyroxene mineral. Hardness: Nephrite has a hardness of around 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale, whereas jadeite’s hardness is 6.5 to 7. Both types are rigid and don’t break or chip easily. Nephrite is relatively easier to cut and shape. Both types need some extra care for protection against scratches. Feel and texture: Nephrite has a greasy feel and a dull luster. Jadeite is more translucent, and you can see through it upon holding it up to the light. Color: Both nephrite and jadeite jades are available in various shades of green. However, only jadeite has the most valuable emerald-green variation. Both types come in multiple colors, including yellow, white, red, brown, black and more. Availability: Nephrite is relatively common and found in abundance worldwide, making it a more affordable option than other types of jade. On the other hand, jadeite jade is a newer type of jade that was first discovered in Burma in the late 1800s. It has a much higher value than nephrite jade because of its rarity. The most valuable variety is an emerald-green translucent jadeite, commonly known as an imperial jade. Jadeite is the most valuable jade type, worth more than gold! It is prized for its beautiful green color, varying from light to dark green. In fact, the most valuable jade- the i mperial jade- is vibrant emerald-green jadeite. There are other colors, including lavender, white, brown, orange and a few more. This precious stone comes from only one country: Myanmar. It is mined in the Kachin State, which is the northernmost state of Myanmar. The jadeite deposits in this area are some of the richest and most extensive globally! Small deposits have been found in a few other countries, but they have yet to become a commercial source. |
Nephrite jade is often used in jewelry and other decorative items.
Nephrite has always been a beautiful accessory, whether it’s for ancient religious objects or modern-day jewelry pieces. Let’s dig into some enthralling facts about this magnificent gemstone.
The Aztecs and Mayans were particularly fond of jade, using it for all sorts of things, including jewelry, tools and ornaments.

However, the cultural significance of jade goes beyond its physical properties. For example, in Chinese culture, jade is seen as a symbol of purity and righteousness. People also believed in its protective qualities, so they often used it in amulets and talismans. In fact, the Chinese name for jade, 玉 (yù), means “precious stone” and “gem”. The Chinese also used it for grave furnishings for royal family members.
Jade has also been prized by other cultures throughout history, with some using it for making the most delicate objects. In modern times, jade is still valuable for making jewelry, especially in East Asia.
As a gemstone, jade has a rich history spanning over 7,000 years. It has been exclusively used in Chinese and Latin American cultures.
Before discovering jadeite jades around 1863, people used the term “jade” to refer to only nephrite jades. Nephrite is a form of the tremolite-actinolite mineral. Most of its variations are green because of a high iron concentration.
Did you know that the word “jade” comes from the Spanish phrase “piedra de ijada”, which means “stone of the loins”?
This is because they saw Central American natives holding jade pieces to the sides of their bodies, believing in the stone’s healing benefits.
Nephrite jade means “kidney stone,”, which comes from the Greek word “lapis nephriticus.” It was thought to be a cure for kidney stones and other spleen and liver ailments.
Nephrite is typically greenish mottled with white and black specks, but can also be found in yellow, black, white, brown and gray shades. The green color could be any shade from light to dark, and the texture ranges from translucent to opaque. It has a strong but not exceptionally bright luster, which gives it a slightly dull appearance. This jade is usually untreated but can be bleached, dyed or treated with polymer to improve its appearance.
Nephrite is typically cut into cabochons, beads or other simple shapes. It’s hard to find its use in faceted stones, as the luster is not as strong as jadeite. It is a go-to choice for carvings, so you will see many nephrite ornaments and sculptures with intricate details.
The ancient Greeks and Romans esteemed jade for its beauty and rarity. The Chinese believed it could ward off evil and that it was the harbinger of good luck. They kept it in the home to bring harmony, health and prosperity. Countless artisans have worked with jade over the years, carving a wide variety of beautiful and intricately detailed artworks.
Mutton Fat Jade is the most coveted and expensive variety. It gets its name from its distinctive translucent white to buttery yellow color due to the high levels of iron oxide in the stone. It is found in only a few places globally, and it is highly sought after by collectors and jewelry makers. The most expensive of this type is Hetian jade, produced only in southwestern Xinjiang’s oasis town Hotan.
Siberian Jade (Or Russian Jade)
This jade is so-called because of its origin in Russia’s Lake Baikal region. It has a beautiful spinach-green color and excellent transparency, which are the main reasons behind its high popularity.
Russian jade was extensively used in China from the late 19th to the early 20th century. The Chinese used it to make magnificent decorative items.
Black Jade is a type of nephrite jade found in only a few places in the world. It has a deep, rich black color, and is prized for its rarity and beauty. Its dark shade comes from a high concentration of iron ore. However, it will still show a greenish hue under bright light because it’s a part of the nephrite jade family.
Chicken bone jade is another valuable and comparatively rare variation of nephrite jade. The stone is opaque, and its color ranges from creamy white to light brown with black specks.
Chrysomelanite Jade is a nephrite jade that has a deep green color with black dots or lines across the surface.
Wyoming green nephrite jade is found in the United States, and it has a beautiful green color. Wyoming jade is one of the finest nephrite variations in the world.
Nephrite jade has been used as an ornamental stone for centuries.
You will find nephrite jade in pendants, bracelets, anklets and other jewelry types.
It has become popular for making jewelry in modern times because it is durable, easy to work with, and more affordable than diamonds and a bunch of other gemstones. The use of nephrite in decorative items such as bowls, vases and other home decorating pieces is common. It’s primarily used in bead forms, but detailed nephrite jade carvings are not uncommon. The stone brings good luck and prosperity into the house, so many people incorporate it into their décor. This stone can also be used in Feng Shui applications to help create a more harmonious environment. The Chinese believed that it had healing properties. So they made small statues from this stone to place in their homes or gardens to meditate on.

Brazilian nephrite jade has been traditionally used as a healing tool. It is believed that when worn over an area of pain or inflammation, it can help reduce swelling and ease discomfort.
Some people believe that this jade can protect against negative energy and keep the wearer feeling positive and happy. Other therapeutic properties include promoting blood circulation, restoring the acid balance, and improving the immune system

Maori people highly esteem the green nephrite and consider it a source of mystical energy. They use these stones as tokens of friendship and wear them as amulets. They also believe in the stone’s positive effects on mental health. From native Polynesian origin, “Maori” means a New Zealand inhabitant; originally meaning normal, natural, or usual, used as noun and adjective since 1843. In the Māori language, the word māori means “normal”, “natural”, or “ordinary”. In legends and oral traditions, the word distinguished ordinary mortal human beings—tāngata māori—from deities and spirits (wairua). Likewise, wai māori denotes “fresh water”, as opposed to salt water. There are cognate words in most Polynesian languages, all deriving from Proto-Polynesian *ma(a)qoli, which has the reconstructed meaning “true, real, genuine”. Wikipedia ·

Nephrite has been famous as the stone of dreams. Shamans and faith healers often preach its ability to induce lucid dreams. It also lifts up your spiritual state in dreams. It’s used as a birthstone for August and March.

The Jade Buddha for Universal Peace
The Jade Buddha for Universal Peace, 2009
Numerous photographs appear to reveal what adherents are calling “mandala lights” around the Jade Buddha for Universal Peace as it makes its way around the world on a tour of Buddhist temples, monasteries, town squares, and museums. Some say the mysterious luminescent globes around the figure are brief glimpses of Buddhas and their pure lands, which interpenetrate with our own world but can only be seen by the enlightened. Others say it’s merely glare.
Since March of 2009, the large jade statue has visited dozens of cities in Asia, Australia, North America, and Europe, attracting considerable crowds. Its official website claims that over 7,000,000 people have come to view it. The mayor of Worcester, Massachusetts declared May 22, 2010 Jade Buddha for Universal Peace Day. Events around the image combine solemn ceremony with an atmosphere of family-fun carnival or multicultural fair, drawing local people of Asian ethnicity, art lovers, spiritual seekers, and curious onlookers.
The eight-foot tall, 4.5 ton Buddha was carved from a rare giant boulder of gemstone-quality jade discovered in Canada in 2000. A Californian jade jewelry maker who knew about the boulder telephoned Ian Green, an Australian already involved in an even more massive Buddhist building project, the Great Stupa of Universal Compassion near Bendigo, Australia. Green flew to North America, viewed the boulder, then consulted his Buddhist teacher, Lama Zopa Rinpoche, a well known Nepalese lama and spiritual director of the stupa project. According to Green, Lama Zopa had had a vision that this boulder would become a Buddha that would “illuminate the world”; he told Green to have the sculpture made.
With singleness of purpose, Green pursued funding to purchase the boulder and commission the work. The international effort to complete the project included Thai and Australian sculptors, a Nepalese thanka painter, and donors from around the world. Sales of smaller jade Buddhas made from carving fragments helped fund the project. After five years of fund-raising to make a deposit on the boulder, it was shipped to Thailand where master carvers fashioned the rock into the largest jade Buddha in the world. Completed in 2008 and now valued at $5 million, it was consecrated in 2009 at the Sydney Entertainment Centre in Sydney, Australia. After the Jade Buddha’s world tour is over it will take up permanent residency in the Great Stupa of Universal Compassion.
In the West, where the “material” is often pitted against the “religious” and where Buddhism is often seen as detached from the material world, it may be puzzling to some that such an incredible amount of time, effort, and money have been poured into the construction and display of such an image (idol). Buddhist media outlets that cater to Western converts, in fact, have ignored the statue and its publicity.
The many and various descriptions of what the Jade Buddha is and what its display is meant to accomplish may also be confusing in some contexts. On the internet and among people in the throngs that view it, we find it described as a “great work of art” and a “symbol of peace.” According to the official website, “the purpose of exhibiting the Jade Buddha around the world is for everyone, irrespective of their religion, to take a moment to reflect upon peace…. We hope that such positive inspiration will bring joy and motivation in the lives of those who are able to see the Jade Buddha.”1 Even more enthusiastically, another part of the website says that it will “illuminate the world and bring inconceivable peace and happiness and help prevent the destruction that is happening in so much of the world, including war.”2 Devotees have described it as a holy presence through which people can receive blessings and karmic merit. Some claim that miracles have occurred in its presence.
Thinking of this figure as a work of art or a symbol of peace is not so unusual for many in the West. Some of the website descriptions go further however, suggesting that the Jade Buddha has agency—it blesses, helps prevent destruction, brings peace, brings miracles. Such ideas would not be unusual for many in Asia. There is a long tradition of statues being understood as extensions of sacred beings. Consecration rituals going back to the pre-common era invite such beings to embody material objects.
The Jade Buddha on tour
Moreover Buddhists and Hindus, past and present, place special importance on seeing the sacred image. The Indian tradition of “taking darshan”—seeing, and being seen by, the holy person or representation thereof—characterizes contemporary practice as well as past experience. One can take darshan with living teachers, ancient statues, glossy posters of Hindu deities, or Buddhas on a computer screen. While in most cases devotees go to the deities for darshan, gods and goddesses are often brought out to the people during festivals, taking carriage rides around the town or district and participating in tours like the one upon which the Jade Buddha has embarked. Our word “juggernaut” comes from Jagannath, a name of Vishnu, and refers to the chaotic festival in the Indian city of Puri when throngs of devotees cart the main temple’s statue through the streets for all to view. Similar practices can be documented among the observant, past and present, in other religious traditions as well.
Today a complex network of barges, cranes, trucks, steel cages, and packing materials make it possible for the Jade Buddha for Universal Peace to extend the traditional tour of the city to a tour of the world.

SCIENCE BEHIND IDOLATRY
Scientists, university students, doctors, atheists and agnostics venerating the image of the beast. That is the general scenario of apocalyptic idolatry. Idolatry is interesting from the scientific point of view because it is not religious, many people can worship people, ideologies, things, money, deities, deceased, leaders, biblical characters … or themselves, without even seeing it as an idolatrous act. That is the point: the idolatry of apocalypse will not seem idolatry.
Why do we not talk about the veneration of Indian cows? Or of the veneration of the stone tablet where the body of Jesus was in Jerusalem? Or of the veneration of the river of death in Calcutta? Or of the adoration of money in Las Vegas and in Dubai? Or the veneration of Santa Claus in America? Or how about the veneration of the wailing wall in Israel? Or the mosque of saint sofia in istanbul or the mosque of the prophet in saudi arabia? And what about the potala of the dalai lama in the tibet or the monastery of the transfiguration in egypt? and even more, Mahoma, the Kim family in North Korea or the Virgin of Guadalupe? Or the use of Hindu biblical ideas such as karma, salt baths for protection or yoga? I could mention hundreds of venerations that today are not taken as idolatry, because for all the millions who venerate something from the previous list they are not practicing idolatry but rather something religiously and culturally acceptable, and what’s more, many of those venerators do not even consider themselves religious.
What will happen in apocalypse will be taken as something natural and not as an idolatrous sin, the apocalyptic idolatry will not come from the church but from the world, imagine clearly what will happen: the apostate world that does not want to know anything about God and His word, he will soon agree to venerate the holographic image of the beast and will not see that action as idolatry. The problem is that we have religiositated the idolatry instead of understanding that today there are millions of atheists worshiping things, people and others, but we continue to call idolatry only one or two religions that venerate statues, without globally seeing the issue we are facing and we will face tomorrow: an idolatrous world but not a religious one.

BUDDHA
Etymology
Siddhartha Gautama,[e] most commonly referred to as the Buddha (lit. ‘the awakened one‘),[4][f][g] was a wandering ascetic and religious teacher who lived in South Asia[h] during the 6th or 5th century BCE[5][6][7][c] and founded Buddhism. According to Buddhist legends, he was born in Lumbini, in what is now Nepal,[b] to royal parents of the Shakya clan, but renounced his home life to live as a wandering ascetic.[8][i] After leading a life of mendicancy, asceticism, and meditation, he attained nirvana at Bodh Gayā in what is now India. The Buddha then wandered through the lower Indo-Gangetic Plain, teaching and building a monastic order. Buddhist tradition holds he died in Kushinagar and reached parinirvana (“final release from conditioned existence”).[9][j]
The earliest attestation of the title Buddha is from the 3rd century BCE,[11][12] meaning ‘Awakened One’ or ‘Enlightened One’.[13] His teachings were compiled by the Buddhist community in the Vinaya, his codes for monastic practice, and the Sutta Piṭaka, a compilation of teachings based on his discourses. These were passed down in Middle Indo-Aryan dialects through an oral tradition.[ Buddha, “Awakened One” or “Enlightened One”,[13][19][f] is the masculine form of budh (बुध् ), “to wake, be awake, observe, heed, attend, learn, become aware of, to know, be conscious again”,[20] “to awaken”[21][22] “‘to open up’ (as does a flower)”,[22] “one who has awakened from the deep sleep of ignorance and opened his consciousness to encompass all objects of knowledge”.[22] The clan name of Gautama means “descendant of Gotama”, “Gotama” meaning “one who has the most light” Traditional biographies of Gautama often include numerous miracles, omens, and supernatural events. The character of the Buddha in these traditional biographies is often that of a fully transcendent (Skt. lokottara) and perfected being who is unencumbered by the mundane world. In the Mahāvastu, over the course of many lives, Gautama is said to have developed supramundane abilities including: a painless birth conceived without intercourse; no need for sleep, food, medicine, or bathing, although engaging in such “in conformity with the world“; omniscience, and the ability to “suppress karma”.[113] As noted by Andrew Skilton, the Buddha was often described as being superhuman, including descriptions of him having the 32 major and 80 minor marks of a “great man”, and the idea that the Buddha could live for as long as an aeon if he wished (see DN 16).[114] Source |

Shakya (Pāḷi: Sakya; Sanskrit: Śākya) was an ancient Indo-Aryan clan of the northeastern region of South Asia, whose existence is attested during the Iron Age. The Shakyas were organised into a gaṇasaṅgha (an aristocratic oligarchic republic), also known as the Shakya Republic.[2] Source
The Buddha’s tribe of origin, the Shakyas, seems to have had non-Vedic religious practices which persist in Buddhism, such as the veneration of trees and sacred groves, and the worship of tree spirits (yakshas) and serpent beings (nāgas). They also seem to have built burial mounds called stupas.[88] Tree veneration remains important in Buddhism today, particularly in the practice of venerating Bodhi trees. Likewise, yakshas and nāgas have remained important figures in Buddhist religious practices and mythology.[88]

In summary, the term “Buddha” encapsulates the essence of awakening and enlightenment, representing a profound spiritual achievement that serves as the cornerstone of Buddhist philosophy and practice.
Buddhists do not depend on the existence of a Creator God, being an eternal omnipresent God who created the world and who can save others Source
The life story of the Buddha begins in Lumbini, near the border of Nepal and India, about 2,600 years ago, where the man Siddharta Gautama was born. Source

SO, they claim that Buddhist do not worship a god. Certainly not a Creator or Savior. But they do indeed WORSHIP BUDDHA, as you have already seen and by the time this post is finished, hopefully you will recognize Buddhism as paganism. Humans embrace this type of teaching because it releases them from any obligation to a Creator or Savior and tells them that they too can reach heaven/nirvana of their own efforts. They can become as GODS.
“The creation of this mandala makes an important contribution to the firm establishment, at a most fundamental and elemental level, for the Buddha Dharma to genuinely take root in the West and for the activity of the Buddha’s skillful means to spread victoriously in all directions.”-
A Mandala for World Peace
We are at a critical time in human history. As ancient prophecies predicted, our modern era is burdened with challenges and Earth’s inhabitants face many dangerous problems: increased warfare, environmental disasters, economic breakdown, epidemic diseases, famine, and political turmoil are prominent among them.
Wherever you look, there is conflict, violence, turmoil, and suffering. How can we make a difference? How can we do something that will pacify this negativity and help to restore peace?
In the Buddhist tradition, it is believed that there are special types of monuments that possess powerful energetic abilities to remove negativity and protect from disaster. One example is a full-scale, three-dimensional mandala. These types of monuments have the ability to bestow great blessings throughout the earth—permeating the five elements with their power.
Padmasambhava predicted that Vajrakilaya (P’hurba) would be of particular importance in restoring peace and balance on the earth at this critical time. Vakrakilaya is the powerful embodiment of all the Buddha’s activities and is the remover of obstacles.
In keeping with the prophecies, and in response to the growing need to take action, we have initiated the Phurba Peace Mandala Project and the construction of a full-scale Vajrakilaya mandala, according to the Dudjom Tersar lineage.
What Is a Mandala?
The word mandala is Sanskrit for circle. Mandalas exist in Hinduism and Buddhism and can be recognized in Native American and other indigenous cultures. Both ancient and contemporary spiritual traditions employ them to symbolize a microcosm of the universe and enlightened vision.
There are many different types of mandalas, each with different energies and intentions. They can be used as a focus in meditation and prayer, for healing and teaching, and for establishing sacred space.
You may be familiar with Tibetan sand mandalas, where a specific intricate design is created in colored sand. These two-dimensional mandalas are actually blueprints for three-dimensional models of a perfected universe and tradition dictates the deities, objects, and colors within.

The P’hurba Peace Mandala will be the first full-scale, three-dimensional mandala on the North American continent. It will embody the universe in full harmony, generating great energy and blessings, bringing balance to the elements, and promoting peace for the continent and the entire world.
The Peace Mandala is a powerful Buddhist monument that possesses the energetic ability to bestow blessings that will permeate the five elements throughout the world. The blessings of the Peace Mandala will be vast and powerful as they are carried on the strong currents of air and water to restore balance and harmony—ecologically, socially and personally—for all of the earth’s inhabitants around the globe. His Holiness, Shenphen Dawa Norbu Rinpoche, supreme lineage holder of the Dudjom Tersar, has offered his full support of the P’hurba Peace Mandala Project in a recent letter, which includes a beautiful teaching about the importance of Vajrakilaya.

Buddhism
Also known as: chorten, tope
Written by The Encyclopedia Brittanica  stupa Buddhist commemorative monument usually housing sacred relics associated with the Buddha or other saintly persons.
The hemispherical form of the stupa appears to have derived from pre-Buddhist burial mounds in India. As most characteristically seen at Sanchi in the Great Stupa (2nd–1st century bc), the monument consists of a circular base supporting a massive solid dome (the anda, “egg,” or garbha, “womb”) from which projects an umbrella. The whole of the Great Stupa is encircled by a railing and four gateways, which are richly decorated with relief sculpture depicting Jataka tales, events in the life of the Buddha, and popular mythological figures.
The Indian conception of the stupa spread throughout the Buddhist world and evolved into such different-looking monuments as the bell-shaped dagaba (“heart of garbha”) of Ceylon (Sri Lanka), the terraced temple of Borobudur in Java, the variations in Tibet, and the multistoried pagodas of China, Korea, and Japan. The basic symbolism, in which the central relic is identified with the sacred person or concept commemorated and also with the building itself, is retained. Worship of a stupa consists in walking around the monument in the clockwise direction. Even when the stupa is sheltered by a building, it is always a freestanding monument. Buddhist stupas were originally built to house the earthly remains of the historical Buddha and his associates and are almost invariably found at sites sacred to Buddhism. The concept of a relic was afterward extended to include sacred texts. Miniature stupas and pagodas are also used by Buddhists throughout Asia as votive offerings. Stupas were also built by adherents of Jainism to commemorate their saints.

The Mississippi River Valley is a major ‘flyway,’ or bird migration route, for 40% of all waterfowl and 60% of bird species in North America. It is home to 306 species of birds, including rare birds such as the canvasback duck and tundra swan, and has hundreds of bald eagle nests. Other birds that make their home here are great blue heron, white egret, hawks, falcons, vultures, wood ducks, trumpeter swans, pelicans, Canadian geese, loons, wild turkey, and a variety of woodpeckers, owls, and songbirds. It is a bird watchers paradise! Birds play a prominent role in Buddhist symbology. Tantric legends speak of the female ‘sky-movers,’ the dakinis, who are often depicted as birds. For example, Tseringma and her sisters appeared to the yogi Milarepa as birds. The presence of certain birds is used to read omens and portents and are often carriers of secret messages.
| DAKINI The term “dakini” (or ḍākinī) has its roots in Sanskrit, where it means “sky-goer” or “space-dancer.” In Tibetan Buddhism, dakinis are considered significant manifestations of the feminine principle, embodying both humanity and divinity. They are often depicted as ethereal beings who assist practitioners in their spiritual journeys, representing the ever-changing flow of energy and the potential for enlightenment. The concept of dakinis varies across different traditions, with some seen as fierce and wrathful, while others are depicted as nurturing and playful.

Water
The main criteria for the P’hurba Peace Mandala was that it be placed near a major body of water. According to the ancient tradition of tantra, water is considered to be a carrier of blessing power. Blessed water is used for many rituals and for healing. When pujas such as Sang Offerings and other practices are done near water, their effectiveness is enhanced. Likewise, when stupas and other monuments are built near water, their blessing power is amplified and carried along the currents to all corners of the earth. Recent research by Masaru Emoto show that the very molecular structure of water is influenced by subtle thought patterns, and water that had been meditated on reflected that purity in its structure.
The Mississippi River is the third longest river in the world, and has the third largest drainage basin in the world, exceeded in size only by the watersheds of the Amazon River and Congo River. It drains 41% of the U.S. through the rivers, creeks, and streams from 31 states and two Canadian provinces. As it pours into the Gulf of Mexico from New Orleans, it creates a channel of fresh water that travels around the peninsula of Florida and up the east coast to Georgia, until it finally dissolves in to the gulfstream. This can be seen from NASA’s MODIS satellite images. It is especially interesting to note that this is the path of some of the deadliest hurricanes. The purifying effects of our Stupa and Mandala along such a powerful river are far-reaching and very concentrated, and the blessing power could be carried into the hurricane zone and eventually spread out over the ocean, ultimately reaching all corners of the earth.
The Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge is a 261-mile stretch of the northern section of the river that runs between Iowa, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. Unlike most sections of the river, the Upper Mississippi is a wide valley that is made up of the main river channel, wooded islands, backwater sloughs, and lakes. This 240,000-acre refuge is a sanctuary for fish, birds, crustaceans, plants, and wildlife—many of them endangered. There are 132 kinds of fish in the river and this is where the Fish and Wildlife Service get fish to stock other areas of the US
Earth
Saraswati Bhawan’s land is situated within a unique geological region, called the ‘Driftless Area.’ This region—a 24,000 square mile spanning southeastern Minnesota, northeast Iowa, western Wisconsin, and northwest Illinois—was bypassed by the last glacier 12,000 years ago. Therefore, early geologists did not find any glacial ‘drift’ (hence the name ‘driftless’). The land here is approximately 500 million years old (one tenth the age of the earth), and is marked by steep sided ridges, numerous caves, and towering limestone and sandstone cliffs. The region also contains sinkholes and hundreds of streams fed by deep limestone aquifers.
The Midwest Driftless Area is a national treasure. Its distinctive topography, deep caves and springs, and vast number of cold water streams make the region unique. Bypassed by the last glacier, it has been described as, “a fragment of the past, a small piece of what once was.”unique beauty of this area
The Driftless Area National Wildlife Refuge preserves a unique habitat known as ‘algific talus slopes,’ – cold producing rocky slopes – which remain cool throughout the year and are home to rare species of plants and animals. The first human inhabitants were nomadic Paleo hunters, who pursued mammoth and caribou 12,000 years ago. Later, it became the home of the Eastern Woodland Indians, who built sacred burial and ceremonial mounds—many in the shapes of animals—2,000 years ago. The remnants of their culture can be seen at Effigy Mounds National Monument, in Harpers Ferry, Iowa. More recently, tribes such as the Saulk, Fox, Kickapoo, Ioway, Dakota, and Ojibwa occupied the hills and valleys of the Driftless Area.
The Effigy Mounds National Monument is an amazing place that preserves what is left of ancient Native American ceremonial and burial sites in the shapes of animals. These 2,000 year old ‘effigy mounds’ were constructed on the bluffs overlooking the vast upper Mississippi River Valley. According to archeologists, this was the only known area where effigy mounds were created (For more information see: www.nps.gov/efmo). Lama Dawa feels very strongly that this area is a ‘power spot,’ and apparently, so did the Native Americans.

Or, as Priscian put it in his popular rendition of Periegetes: “if your ship… takes you to where the rising sun returns its warm light, then will be seen the Isle of Gold with its fertile soil.”[12] Avienius referred to the Insula Aurea (Golden Isle) located where “the Scythian seas give rise to the Dawn”.[13] Josephus speaks of the “Aurea Chersonesus“, which he equates with the Biblical Ophir, whence the ships of Tyre and Israel brought back the gold for the Temple of Jerusalem.[14] The city of Thina was described by Ptolemy’s Geography as the capital city of the country on the eastern shores of the Magnus Sinus (Gulf of Thailand).
 Stamps commemorating King Rama VI (left) and King Rama IX (right). People speaking one of the Tai group of languages settled in what is now Thailand around 1,000 years ago. The name Siam came from a Sanskrit word, syam. It was adopted by the Portuguese from the 16th century and became the accepted geographical term. Kingdoms rose and fell, but from the 1780s the Chakri dynasty ruled the whole of Siam from their capital at Bangkok. They extended their domain into parts of modern Laos, Cambodia and Malaya, but in the late 19th and early 20th centuries they were forced to surrender their territories there to the French. In 1927 a radical People’s Party was formed. One of its founders was an army officer called Phibun (in full, Luang Phibunsongkhram), who in 1932 helped to lead a coup against the Chakri king and set up a government closer to a western-style democracy, with a parliament. The monarchy survived, but in 1938 Phibun took charge as dictator. A forceful nationalist and moderniser, he changed the country’s name to Thailand. The change was part of Phibun’s determination to bring his people into the modern world and at the same time to emphasise their unique identity. It was an anti-Chinese move with the slogan ‘Thailand for the Thai’. There were many Chinese in the country and many prosperous Chinese businesses, but Phibun cut down immigration from China and government-backed Thai businesses were set up, while the use of Mandarin in Chinese schools was limited to two hours a week. Thailand adopted the western calendar, a new flag was created and a new national anthem, while Phibun demanded that Thais wore western-style clothes, including hats. Thailand was allied with Japan in the Second World War and Phibun was forced to resign in 1944, (when the name was changed backe to SIAM) but he returned to power with military backing in 1948 (when the name was changed back to Thailand) and the army ran Thailand with support from the US. Phibun was finally ousted by rivals in 1957. He retreated to Japan and died there at the age of 66 in 1964.

SUKHOTHAI
The English term Sukhothai (Thai: สุโขทัย) is the romanization of the Thai word per the Royal Thai General System of Transcription. The Thai word for the historical country was a transliteration of the Khmer spelling, rendered in English as Sukhodaya (Khmer: សុខោទ័យ). The Khmer term is itself derived from the Sanskrit sukha (Sanskrit: सुख, ‘lasting happiness’) and udaya (Sanskrit: उदय, ‘rise’ or ’emergence’). Together, the phrase can be interpreted as meaning “dawn of happiness”. Source: Wikipedia
