Paying Homage to the Dhammakaya Cetiya

At the foreground of the Dhammakaya Cetiya, the moment the day turns to dusk, a daily gathering of the peaceful crowd shows their presence. Garlands of roses and jasmines, for instance, are delicately placed for worship. What lies in front is the panoramic “Cetiya of a Million Buddhas” – the refuge of human and the divine beyond.

The shape of the Cetiya represents the spherical shape of the mind – according to the oriental philosophy. Right in the centre of the sphere lies the point of utmost peace. The slope signifies the radiation of peace from its origin. Thus, the entire Dhammakaya Cetiya represents nothing but the symbol of peace that reaches out to embrace the whole world – the emblem of World Peace.

Experience the peace of being humble in front of the serenity of the Cetiya that contains one million statues of the Enlightened Ones. White attire signifies the corresponding purity and serenity. Flock together with others who also seek peace of mind.
