I'm sorry to say, but this temple feels like a bit of a tourist setup. A real shame. A few things felt like props, a random granite pillar etc. The monk wasn't very willing to explain things to me in Sinhalese whole there were foreigners present and then insisted on a donation, from the foreigners. Also it was very odd that there were no donation boxes else where just the one where the monk tells you stories along with the donation log book. I hope I've got it all wrong.
Sacred place.
Pekne pokojne miesto. Stary mních nás previedol po okoli chrámu. Ukázal studňu a 600rokov starú toaletu. Mali sme možnosť vidieť Thajského budhu fresky a zazvoniť na zvon. Na záver nás zaviedol do miestnosti s inventárom ukázal nám motlitebnú 300 rokov starú knihu na bambusových listoch a náradie na čítanie. Predniesol nám modlitbu za zdravie a daroval nám biele niťové náramky. Krásny zážitok bez prítomnosti ďaľších turistov.
Beautiful place.
very old buddhist temple, beautiful and stunning place, quiet for meditation or visit
