9 Days of Temples 1
Nine is a sacred number in Buddhism as Buddha has 9 attributes. At Pii Mai (Lao New Year) the Lao people visit 9 temples in one day, giving alms and washing statues.
I have visited many temples in Vientiane and Laos, so my last set of post will be 9 Days of Temples.
Today it is Wat Ammon in my neighbourhood. There is always a temple dog at any temple.
Temple Dogs? I'd like to learn more about this aspect of the temples.
