Wat Phra Non Chaksri is one of the leading Buddhist temples of the central Thai province of Singburi. The major feature of the temple is this reclining Buddha. The temple and the Buddha building are replete with relics and Buddhist images. It is a popular site in the province, always busy with visitors who come to pay their respects and seek good fortune. Entry is free, though a donation is always the done thing to do.
The Buddha is the founder and principal figure in the Buddhist faith. He lived during the sixth centre BCE, beginning life as an Indian prince, but then turned from a life or power and ease, to seek enlightenment. The Buddhist belief system centres around the teachings of the Buddha and the Buddhist community, and includes a belief in reincarnation. There are approximately 500 million Buddhists, and, while present in virtually every country, its practitioners are most likely to be found in India and east Asia.
