Description: |
|
The Buddha Park or Xieng Khuan is a sculpture park 25km from
Vientiane in a meadow next to the Mekong River. It isn’t a
temple but it does contain over 200 Buddhist and Hindu statues
created in 1958 by monk Luang Pu Bunleua Sulilat who studied
both religions.
The weathered concrete sculptures
scattered throughout the park seem older than they are and
include many Buddhas and characters from Hindu mythology, as
well as animals, humans and demons. Most are larger than life
and carved with intricate and often bizarre details. |
