REFLECTION OF OBJECTS OF FAITH IN BUDDHISM

Abstract

The Article Subject: Reflection of Objects of Faith in Buddhism. Objective 1) To study the behavior of light incident on the surface of objects within the architecture at Non Sawang Temple, Nong Wua So District, Udon Thani Province.  2) To create works that reflect the light of objects of faith in Buddhism using mixed media painting techniques. These works aim to present the relationship between light and faith in Buddhism. The study explores the process of incident light and its reflection into the human eye, using scientific knowledge to reveal the details of objects and patterns of religious architecture at Non Sawang Temple, Nong Wua So District, Udon Thani Province. The mixed media paintings will utilize materials such as glass and paper to create shapes, tones, shadows, light reflections, and patterns, conveying the beauty that arises from the interaction of light with architecture. This represents a dimension of beauty, reflecting the refinement of Thai art patterns according to aesthetic principles. The works will also convey the meaning of radiance, symbolizing the faith that Buddhists have in Buddhism. This faith, shared by the community, serves as the core of their religious beliefs. Through this project, the aim is to help the next generation understand the significance of Thai Buddhism and its role in preserving the traditions of Buddhism in Thai society for future prosperity.
