EDITORS COMMENTS
Wat Si Saket, or Sisaketh, is a historic Buddhist temple located in the heart of Vientiane, Laos. Dating back to 1818, it is the oldest temple still standing in the city and is renowned for its stunning collection of golden statues of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. The temple is a fine example of Siamese architectural style, with its intricately carved doors, ornate roofs, and beautiful bell-shaped spires. The golden statues, which date back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, are a sight to behold. They represent various forms of Buddha and Bodhisattvas, enlightened beings who have attained a high level of spiritual development and are on the path to full enlightenment. The statues are intricately designed and adorned with precious gems and gold leaf, reflecting the deep reverence and devotion of the Laotian people towards their religious beliefs. The temple's peaceful atmosphere is a reminder of the importance of mindfulness and consciousness in Buddhist philosophy. The pursuit of enlightenment, or Nirvana, is a central tenet of Buddhism, and the golden statues serve as a reminder of the potential for inner transformation and spiritual growth. Wat Si Saket is not only a significant historical site but also a place of deep religious significance for the people of Laos. It is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in Buddhism, history, or culture, offering a unique insight into the rich heritage and traditions of this beautiful country.
