Wat Phra Singh in Chiang Mai

is one of the biggest Buddhist temples

in the city and houses the Phra Buddha Sihing, an important Buddha statue.

In the Wat compound there are famous Buddhist quotes and sayings

attached to trees throughout the garden, which makes for an enlightened

walk around the Wat.

On my walks around the old city I would often make a detour to this

garden to ponder these Buddhist quotes on life.
