Excerpt
Pra Yai

Gazing forth, across the earth, from high
Stands a monument to Buddhist Faith; Pra Yai

To his rear, the people of Khon Kaen

Over to his left, it�s Chaiyaphum and then

Udon Thani kneels at his right hand

In reverence; voicing the respect of Thailand

Before him, Loei and Nongbualamphu

Receive the careful attention of his view

Pra Yai symbolises Lord Buddha

In his presence, his loyal pilgrims shudder

The hopes and fears of all the nation

Are offered in praise and meditation

Gratitude for the harvest; the rain

For the relief of suffering and of pain

Food for the hungry, strength to the weak

A fitting focal point for the blessed meek

Supports the infirm, tends to the old

The pious poor, the emotionally cold

The waters below, gently lapping

Reflect the subtle sound of one hand clapping

Prepared to unleash their potential

Energy; electricity; essential

Lighting our progress through the ferment

Physical guide; practical enlightenment

No tree to shade his contemplation

Deflect his wisdom, distract concentration

His sacrament of inner vision

Available via the conscious decision

To follow the example of his life

Grants untold pleasures, and the absence of strife
