The Temple of the Stone Temple is a landmark building in Sri Lanka and a world cultural heritage. In the 3rd century BC, Sri Lankan Buddhist monks originally lived in forest caves. The humble environment is the best condition for meditation, so the monks retreat to the cave wall meditation tradition has since begun. The small stone temples used for worship gradually developed into temples that attracted a large number of pilgrims, and the cave walls and cave roofs were painted with murals, some of which described the life of the Buddha, a great way to spread teachings to the illiterate. The largest and most famous stone temple in Sri Lanka is the Temple of Danbula! See the world with the edge
