ลอยกระทง (Loy Krathong or Loi Kratong) has been celebrated in Thailand since the 14th century. It began as a Brahmanic festival celebrating the full moon of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar. Since then it has become a highly symbolic observance particular to Thai Buddhism. The lighted candle represents the illumination of the Buddha. The floating of the banana leaf boats and larger rafts represents the individual Buddhist's purging of unwanted vices such as anger and fear. This video is a tribute to Thailand--its beautiful people, land, and culture. Images from Google. Spiritual songs created for healing, relaxing and meditation. Composer: Chamras Saewataporn Album: Morning Tracks 12 and 13: Goodbye, Brotherhood (or Farewell, Brother & Sister) Good bye is not forever People come and go as life inches further Upon hello, good bye is next Upon good bye, hello is expected The ocean of reminiscence is eternal There is no definite farewell as our souls are mutual We are all from the same family Agony is our father Empathy is our mother Streams of tear drops flow incessantly Burdens of life make us forget the brotherhood of you and me Nirvana is too far to reach and we are too blind to see
