The Buddhist monks - the yellow bonzes - and the liturgy practiced in Thailand, with extensive references to sacred art, bring this careful documentation to life. Religious festivals and 'vestitions' (ordination ceremonies), in the shadow of immense temples with pagoda or pyramid domes; and the instruction of seminarians and the worship of ancient Buddha statues, covered with mold in old ruined temples, and still glimpses of folklore on the waterways of Bangkok, are the subject of analysis and digressions of a strictly informative character.
