Будда парк, рядом с Вьентьяном
Dec. 25th, 2009 11:18 pmБунлыа Сулилат, согласно легенде, в юности упал в пещеру, где встретил отшельника Кэо Ку, который стал его духовным наставником. После этого он основал культ на смеси буддизма и индуизма и в 1958 году с сотнями своих последователей начал создавать парк из скульптур. Никто из них не был специалистом в этом деле. В качестве материала использовали железобетон, как самый дешёвый и доступный. В воображении автору никак нельзя отказать, многие скульптуры состоят из совершенно странных существ и сцен.
Удивительно, но посетителей в парке было совсем мало, никто не мешал осматривать в тишине и спокойствии.
Фотографий много, но они весёлые:)
Buddha Park, near Vientiane
Bunleua Sulilat, according to a legend, as a young man fell into a cave where he met hermit Kaeo Ku who became his spiritual mentor. After that he founded a cult based on mixture of Buddhism and Hinduism and in 1958 together with hundreds of his followers started creating a park of sculptures. None of them were specialists in it. Concrete reinforced with metal was used for sculptures as the cheapest and the most available material. There is no denying the sculptor had good imagination, many of the sculptures have really weird creatures and scenes.
There were surprisingly few visitors in the park, so no one disturbed peace and quite.
There are many photos, but they’re much fun:)
