"A" Emerald Buddha... by kenmerk
Well, this is not the "THE" Emerald Buddha, as THE emerald buddha is now in residence in Bangkok at the Grand Palace, and last I looked (1994 or so....) you weren't allow to take pictures of it....But it is "A" emerald Buddha which is almost an exact duplica of the original... (Actually a Jade Buddha, like the original....) The copy now sits where the original one's first home: The Wat Phra Kaew temple in Chiang Rai. Say what you want, but this is definately one big beautiful hunk of green stone...
