Thailand Stamps 2016: Vesak Day 2016

The Buddha's Words...
             Teachiung for the wisdom of Life

"Buddha Wajana" or Sutra is the Buddha's teachings which are collected in a scripture called the Pali Canon or the Tripitaka. Those words are proved as the truth of life, which are never out of date and remind all the Buddhists of having mindfulness. Unfortunately, they are gradually fading and forgotten. To celebrate Vesak Day this year, Thailand Post would like to promote and publicize te Buddha's teachings through the four stamps illustrating about the Buddha's teachings together with Bhudda images in four posturs. The teachings on each stamp are quoted from the book titled "The Buddha's Words in Dhammapada" by Sathienphong Wannapok, a Royal Institute Council Member in Buddhism and also praised as one of the famed Buddhist Scholar of the Era.
