The bridge of "the cycle of rebirth": the main building at the white temple, the ubosot, is reached by crossing a bridge over a small lake. In front of the bridge are hundreds of outreaching hands that symbolize unrestrained desire. The bridge proclaims that the way to happiness is by foregoing temptation, greed, and desire. Next to the lake stand two very elegant Kinnaree, half-human, half-bird creatures from Buddhist mythology. . . . #bridge #cycle #rebirth #whitetemple #ubosot #reached #crossing #over #lake #hundreds #outreaching #hands #symbolize #unrestrained #desire #proclaims #happiness #foregoing #temptation #greed #desire #elegant #Kinnaree #halfhuman #halfbird #creatures #Buddhist #mythology #blackandwhite #shadesofgrey (at Wat Rong Khun - White Temple , Chiang Rai , Thailand)
