Candle parade Khao Phansa day

Khao Phansa day of every year. In this year 2017 on July 9th. Thai people respect Buddhism, make merit, Buddhist candles. And walk-chant in the evening. These traditions take place in every area of ​​Thai Buddhists.
Thai Buddhists believe that many philanthropy will lead to a better new world. Believe in fate Focus on religious rituals that are consistent with tradition and culture. Unlike the religious rituals of Buddhists in other countries.

But the fictitious belief. Life after death with ghosts and the adverse impact on Thai society. For example The sacred offerings of freaks that have never been seen before, such as the fungus, the serpent, the five-legged frog, the weird-looking tree. Everything is sacred. It is very surprising that people still pay homage. Both of these science can explain the answer.

Picture above The candle parade of Nakhon Ratchasima. Which manages the beautiful candle contest, the  elaborate patterns of carving candles, festivals are held annually.

The contest rules and procedures start at the district level. First, when the winning team represents the district, they compete again at the provincial level to find the winning gold team. The teams that are sent to compete in the first round of the district level are all from the team. There is no team representing a private team or a group of people at all.

I have a question in mind why all the contestants must come from the temple team. Is it possible to budget for a high candle parade? It shows that religious activity occurs only from the temple team.  Monopoly Traditions and rituals have a power over the thought system belife attached to religion.

I think religious activities should happen if the people themselves. May express the power of the people themselves. The pattern of the candle parade may be different. New lace pattern Candles will be born in a new way. Creativity from the public itself will be expressed as art. It is a work of freedom, new ideas that it is possible.
