A
euphoric,
magnificient
view
opens
up
before
your
amazed
eyes
as
you
climb
up
the
top
of
the
hill
where
Wat
Ko
Siray
stands.
The
gorgeous,
spectaculous
panorama
and
red-yellow-golden
splendour
of
the
temple
compete
in
attracting
your
insatiable
attention.
You
are
so
much
enchanted
that
your
eager
and
lively
perception
wanders
in
divine
ambiguity
between
spiritual
indulgence
of
the
temple
and
marvelling
at
the
surrounding
beauty.
After
a
while,
ะฐ
bright
abundance
ofย
impressions
get
softly
fused
into
the
peaceful
flowing
of
mind-and-soul
elevation.
The
Wat
Ko
Siray
temple
complex
consists
of
the
two
levels.
ะ
Pagoda
and
the
monks'
cells
are
at
the
foot
of
the
hill.
The
temple
and
the
gallery
with
Buddhas
are
on
the
top
of
the
hill.
The
Siamese
trees
with
yellow
flowers,
the
pink
bushes
of
bougainvillea
and
oleander
thrive
beutifully
around.
A
winding
road,
lined
with
palms,
dipterocarpus
and
tualang
trees
towering
high
up
in
the
sky,
leads
to
the
top.
In
the
gallery
there
are
about
fifteen
seated
and
standing
Buddhas
shining
with
pearl-and-velvet
gold.
On
the
pre-temple
altar
there
is
the
sacred
inscription:
Namo
Tassa
Bhagavato
Arahato
Sammasambuddhassa.
It
means:
Honour
to
the
Blessed
One,
the
Exalted
One,
the
fully
Enlightened
One.
There
is
also
one
more
sutra
meaning:
Our
pride
and
lust
are
the
most
severe
hindrances.
The
Indian
rose
tree
hangs
beautifully
over
the
altar
platform.
The
reclining
Buddha,
great
and
enormous,
big
and
huge,
spreads
calm,
peacefulness
and
bliss
around.
Your
soul
gets
filled
with
tranquil
harmony.
A
spirit
of
rejoycement
hovers
above
the
temple,
hill
and
the
island.
The
revelation
coming
on
you
sharpens
your
mind
and
strengthens
your
body.
