The sacred Buddha’s tooth relic has embarked on a 4,500-kilometer journey from Beijing’s Lingguang Temple to Bangkok, marking a significant moment in the celebration of the 50th anniversary of diplomatic ties between China and Thailand.
This year, the two nations are commemorating half a century of friendship and cooperation. The decision to send the priceless Buddhist relic to Bangkok, where it will be enshrined for 73 days, is a symbolic gesture reflecting the deep religious and cultural connections shared by China and Thailand.
From flourishing cultural exchanges and fusion cuisine to collaborative green energy projects and investment in high-tech industries, the close relationship between the Chinese mainland and Thailand has touched every sector and enriched the lives of people in both countries.
The journey of the Buddha’s tooth relic not only honors the spiritual traditions cherished by many but also highlights the enduring bond and mutual respect between the Chinese mainland and Thailand, as they look forward to strengthening ties for the future.
