A bit longer video showing several of the more impressive Buddha statues. Then people pouring holy water to purify the small golden stupa. Finally walking around the inside of the central temple courtyard until finding a crowd of people pressed into one particular entryway.
People were crowded around the doorway, then rushing to kneel in front of the monk. He said a few solemn words, then seemed to really take pleasure it not just splashing water onto people, but he was aiming for the most splash possible. It was clearly target practice for him. A few more, "Good Luck!" and, "Be Happy!" shouts, and then he tied white string bracelets on those who lined up.
