EVEN MORE INCREDIBLE, THIS EDIFICE IS PLANNED TO BE PERPETUALLY UNCOMPLETED!
MADE ENTIRELY OF WOOD WHICH COSTS RM 2 MILLION YEAR EXCLUDING LABOUR, SANCTUARY OF TRUTH IS BUILT BY MASTER THAI CRAFTSMEN ENTIRELY BY HAND WITH NO NAILS BUT DIVETAIL JOINTS THAT SLIDE AND FIT EACH OTHER PERFECTLY WITH NO ROOM FOR MISTAKES!
BUILT NEXT TO THE SEA WITH SALTY WINDS AND RELENTLESS WAVES, THE WOODEN PANELS AND ELABORATE CARVINGS ARE NOT FULLY WEATHER RESISTANT AND MUST BE RESTORED, RENEWED AND REPLACED---CONSTANTLY!
LIKE ST FARNCISCO'S GOLDEN FATE BRIDGE, AS ONE PART OF THE BRIDGE HAS BEEN COMPLETELY PAINTED, THE OTHER END HAS TO BE REPAINTED ALL OVER AGAIN! HERE THERE ARE DOZENS OF CRAFTSMEN AND CONSTRUCTION WORKERS TOILING AWAY IN THE WORKSHOPS, CLIMBING THE ROOFS OR CARVING THE MYRIAD STATUES!
THE SANCTUARY OF TRUTH IS PLANNED SO IT IS CONSTANTLY BEING REBUILT!
IT IS OVER 30 YEARS OLD AND THE ORIGINAL FOUNDER DIED A DECADE AGO AND HIS SECOND SON IS CONTINUING THIS AMAZING LABOUR OF LOVE!
