Spirit House and Brahman Shrine (462 KB)

This 15 second clip shows you the Spirit House (on the left) and the Brahman Shrine. The Spirit House is for the guardian spirits of the land where the school is built. We have to appease them with a beautiful house of their own and daily offerings of food and drink. If we don't, they might cause mischief in the school. The Brahman Shrine, the Hindu diety with four faces, is a common sight in Thailand. It is nothing to do with Buddhism, but students and teachers might make a wish at the shrine for good luck.
