January 10 - Wat Chayamangkalaram

 And last, but not least, the Temple of the Reclining Buddha.  This is directly across the street from the Burmese temple and is a typical Thai temple.  Like all areas of the world people in Asia moved around a lot and wherever they went they brought their own religious practices with them.  That is why you see so many different styles of temples in Malaysia.  

As all the other temple - these are compounds within city limits.  You can't avoid getting city buildings in most of your photos.

Here the Buddha has four arms.  He is supposed to have a thousand arms so that he could help more people.

The Reclining Buddha.  I had to take the photo at an angle to get it all in.

Below is a study of hand positions for the Buddha.  I started taking photos of different hand positions, until I realized that, indeed, all of the Buddhas lines around two sides of the temple purposefully had different hand gestures.  Again, the face is all from the same mold.  Don't feel bad if you find it boring - just skip all the photos below.
