Bai sema
Bai Sema ((タイ語:ใบเสมา)) are boundary stones which designate the sacred area for a ''phra ubosot'' (ordination hall) within a Thai Buddhist temple (wat); otherwise called sema hin ().
==History==
It is written in the Vinaya Pitaka that the ''Buddhasima'' (the area in which the monks perform the ''Sanghkamma'' or Buddhist sacred ceremonies) must be able to accommodate 21 seated monks, with a space the length of a forearm between each monk. The area should also not be larger than three ''yojana'' which is about 48 kilometers. This is probably meant to mean the maximum circumference. In other words, the ''Buddhasima'' should not be too small, nor too big.
It is also written that the ''Buddhasima'' can be marked by the following ''Nimitta'' (border markers): hills, rock formations, forests, trees, ant hills, streets, rivers and other waters such as the sea or a pond. The type of ''Nimitta'' that is mainly used in Thailand is a stone. The oldest stone Bai Sema in Thailand were found in northeast Thailand (Isan) and are from the Dvaravati period (6th - 9th century CE).
