puddin:
Can someone help me? I can't find anything about ladeling oil at a temple *what are they doing* :lol:? Maybe if we knew what it meant we could pinpoint the temple or area? They haven't been to Thailand since season 9, do you think they would throw something old into the introflashs to throw us off? Even then I don't recall this scene.
Slowhatch:
Here's a page with a picture of a woman pouring oil into what's called a "floating candle." Different design, but maybe same procedure.
puddin:
Well thats a start Slowhatch, thank you :kuss: . So temple, Buddha's ...pouring oil onto floating candles to keep an eternal
flame burning.
puddin:
Some history~
one that mentions Nara : The eternal flame at a Buddhist tomb in Nara, Japan, which has been burning for over 1100 years
Now I had a Nara temple picture but couldn't get it to match, brb.
