Why Laos and Thailand have too many temple ?

Date: Jun 30, 2009

Easy to answer, because Laos and Thailand are buddhist countries.
By the way, you should add Cambodia and Myanmar to the list as well, because they also have a lot of temples in their countries.

Laos and Thailand in the ancient day every village at least had one temple for the people to learn about Buddhist and it became culture. I have never seen Buddha to force any one to become Buddhist and teach hate to other religions . I guess...

Is Buddhism the most peaceful religion ? Buddha always taught to forgive even our own enermy . Are the Buddhist people around the world true believers that don't believe in creator that created the world and the universe in 7 days and the universe only 6000years old like the Christian bibble and the Islam Koran said. Buddhist madetation really help to find peace in mind.

Buddhist meditation is the mind therapy .

Buddhism is the only religion which meets with meet science that believes in the law of nature.

because bhuddism is laos religion man i bhuddism and laos go together like night and day you cant have one without the other, and yess our neighboring countries like thailand cambodia and burma also share our same philosophys, vietnam would have also if it werent for them being occupied so long by foriegners. and yess i agree bhuddism never force anybody to believe in our religion.

if i had hte money i would still even spread bhuddism in a peaceful way buildings temples for ppl to prey at or come together. anyways i am glad laos is bhuddist country i would have it no other way.

I think Buddhism is the most peaceful religion in the world unlike the other religions always killing each other over my GOD is better than your God for thousand of years.

we all have a creator, but that creator does not have a name or face. we all have a soul and we occupy a body. but we are spirits that inhabit a body. Religion is created by man, but we know that our creator lives in our hearts and soul. Karma is about being a giving and free spirit. our temples celebrate our spirit.

Buddhist meditation cultivates our mind and spirit, it not a celebration of god.

Yes , Buddhism is the most peaceful religion in the world that never force any one to become Buddhist and never teach hate to any one but forgiveness. Some religions if you converted to other religion , You might get kill . Also if the women got caught for adultely ,she will be stone to death . They also kill their own daughter or sister if she marry the man who believes in different religion.

not sure of exact percentage, but i think the majority of people in Laos are animist, not Buddhist. don't forget the other ethnic groups like Khmu, the original people of Laos, who are traditionally not Buddhist.

it's more accurate to say that the majority of Lao Loum are Buddhist :)

& many rituals practised by Buddhists in Laos have nothing to do with Buddhism e.g. baci/sou khwan, pouring water into the 'bowl' while chanting (or onto the earth), belief in Mae Thoranee & 'Nang Kwak' & Pha In & Pha Phom, Boun Bang Fai, 'sak yant' tattoos...all these came from animism & were already being practised even before Buddhism arrived in Laos.

Hiduism and Buddhism came to Laos and became culture. The truth of Buddhism never believe in creator more like science and mind therapy. Some sciencist are Atheit and practice Buddhist meditation.

Some religions teach hate to other religion who have different believe. That is why there are religion war. Some religions use the name of GOD to kill , get power and get rich .

Watches are a beautiful thing. Certainly, they tell us the time - but aren't they so much more than that? replicas watches Through their watches, a person can express so much, and in a way it could be said:replicas watches Show me your watch and I'll tell you who you are.
