Made of silver and adorned with jewels, the heart of Buddha is filled with sesame oil before being installed in the Buddha image at Wat Tawai in Chiang Mai
I attended the installation of Buddha’s heart at Wat Tawai in Chiang Mai last wednesday - it is a rare ceremony that only happens in the North-west part of Thailand, home to the Lanna people. More pictures and video on this amazing event later in the week.
