Better known as Suan Mok, the temple
is on Highway No. 41 some 50 kms. north of the provincial
capital. Suan Mok's founder, Bhikkhu Buddhadhasa, is highly
respected in Thailand, and internationally, and his 'back-to-basics'
approach attracts Buddhist monks and lay meditators from
many countries. A favourite sight for casual visitors is
the 'Spiritual Theatre' which Buddhadhasa describes as a
pictorial interpretation of Dharma. The building features
an eclectic mixture of Thai, Egyptian, Chinese, Indian,
Japanese, Tibetan and European-style murals and sculptures.
