There are many Buddha's footprint in many temples in Laos. How much do you believe in Buddha's footprint ?



Wat Prah Buddhabat, also known as Buddha’s Footprint temple, is located on Phu Si Hill in the ancient city of Luang Prabang, Laos. This enigmatic temple features a three meter long footprint of Buddha. It is believed to be one of the footprints of Buddha when he touched the ground after reaching enlightenment.These footprints can be found all over South-East Asian Buddhist countries and represent the Buddha’s presence. Buddha’s footprints demonstrate that the teachings of Buddha have been reached and are respected.

part of me wants to believe it is the real deal....  and part of me think it was made by human..

the problem is... lao people doesn't record any historic finding.. there's no record of any kind.  i like to learn more about our history... unfortunately, all the books are written by some westerners..
