"A Taste of Nibbana" Exhibition aims To provide visitors the experience of dhamma which subsequently brings bliss, joy, and the will to sustain this temporary state of Nibbana and to spread this feeling to society and mankind,

"You can call it with any word. It is a brief moment of Nibbina, like a free sample of a product which is usually better than the one for sale. You can give it a try. If you like it Then you can buy it So why don't you?"

At the entrance of "A Taste of Nibbana" Exhibition is the 'Giving of Dhamma Eyes' image, a replica from the mosaic walls at the Spiritual Theatre Chaiya, Surat Thani. , Suan Mokkh,

Giving of Dhamma Eyes

Buddhadasa Bhikkhu interpreted The image in The verse "Giving Eyes".

Alas, those eyes he refuses, Running away blind and headless. Perhaps I should stop giving eyes. Such pity for those who desire a closed eye. But some do wish to wait, To procrastinate time and again. If there were a few more who seek light, The darkness in this world will disappear. Through restraint, contemplation, and patience Take the hands of others and strive, To give the eyes without despair, And eventually the world will see light.

At The entrance to Suan Mokkh Bangkok  is The 'Five Pillars' symbol. The symbol is found at the entrance to Suan Mokkhabalarama, Chaiya, Surat Thani Province and at various buildings at Suan Mokkh such as Dhammakonana Hall, Dhamma Varinava Building and many more.

Dhammakosono hall, Buddhadasa Bhikkhu explained The origin one idea of The 'Five Pillars' symbol as follows: "The Five Pillars came from my observation of every Amaravati Buddhist Monastery. Even the base for a Buddha image also has five lines. Number Five can represent many things For example, the Five Hindrances (Nivarana); to perform Five Behaviors requires Five Powers (Bala) and Five Faculties (Indriya) consequen achieving Five Results Four Fruitions and One Nibbana (Five in total). There are also many others.
