Wat Jet Yod
King Tilokarat built the temple in 1455. The temple was
probably copied from the design of the Mahabodhi temple in
Pagan, which itself was a copy of the Indian temple at Bodhgaya.
It had been predicted that Buddhism would decline after 2000
years. King Tilokarat's religious works, as well as those of other
Southeast Asian monarchs of the time, were an attempt to
prevent this decline. Wat Jet Yod was the site of the Eighth World
Buddhist council in 1477, which revised the Tripitaka (Buddhist
canon and teachings)
