This thought-provoking display charts the history and influence of the Theravāda Buddhist tradition across the world, including its role in Scotland today. The Theravāda tradition is one of the oldest forms of Buddhism. As one of the two main branches of the faith, it remains strong in Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia. The display includes a Buddha on loan from The Dhammapadipa Temple in Edinburgh. The Buddha was designed and made in Thailand in 2013, then later gifted to Temple where it is now used in their garden meditation room. The image takes inspiration from the Phra Phuttha Chinnarat (Great Victorious Buddha), one of the most revered Buddha images in Thailand. Alongside the loan are 40 objects from the South and Southeast Asian collection, dating from the 2nd century AD to the present day. They include amulets, relics, statues, and votive offerings, all of which were and are used by Buddhists in their everyday religious practice. A set of 19th century spinning gongs from Myanmar are also on display. Audio recordings of the gongs provide visitors with a sensory experience, representative of the sound of visiting a temple. The gongs are played by Ewan Millar, percussion student at The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.

Specialty exhibition halls

M23***33

My favorite National Gallery of Scotland, I visit three times every time I come. Enter, the middle position on the left is worth admiring Potticelli, the Virgin kneeling to the Son Jesus, this delicate description of the work, placed in the most central position, next to Leonardo da Vinci&#39;s work, but this rarely seen, is his unfinished work, and posterity added some background. The fourth floor impressionist: Van Gogh&#39;s two works of different periods, Gaugin&#39;s most famous works, my favorite is several scenery of C&eacute;zanne, with a watercolor taste, different, and a large portrait of Diego&#39;s natural state, which is also the first time I have seen a different work. I personally think Monet is the most common in an exhibition hall, most visitors only pay attention to Monet and Van Gogh.

There are quite a lot of people who have to queue up at the castle ticket gate. Buy the ticket for 5 minutes directly at Trip.com and go in directly. It is too convenient. The castle scenery is very good, you can go shopping slowly, and you can rent a translation headset after you go in. If you need it, the text introduction is actually written in detail.

Palace of Holyroodhouse

Holyrood Palace is worth a visit. If time permits, you must go to see Queen Mary&#39;s palace in Scotland. It is still the place where the royal family holds garden parties in summer. You can see Arthur&#39;s Seat from a distance. The order of visiting the palace is very reasonable. With the introduction in the headset, you can immerse yourself in the heavy atmosphere of history! !

💎月亮宝石环游世界🌎

It is the most romantic sunset place. I have been here, it was cold but beautiful! I will not go into details about the many celebrity check-in places.
But my only deepest experience was the lyrics,
&quot;The castle keeps secrets for love, and I keep memories for you&quot;
I didn&#39;t think this song was romantic before, until I climbed to the top of Carlton Mountain⛰️It was really speechless and beautiful!!
I really like this light blue gentle dusk~~Thanks to the little afterglow near sunset that day, I saw the light blue and light orange sky line in the distance, which was really extremely romantic~~Continuously touched me✨💕🌹Recommend this extremely romantic place, must go?

Medieval dusk🌆, the only one in the world❤️
