Trip to Wat Prabhat SiiRauy in Mae Rim

In a vast group with both lay expats as well as monks who study during Mahachulalongkorn Rajavidyala Buddhist University (MCU) in Chiangmai, we recently visited a Buddhist tourist captivate site of Wat Prabhat SiiRauy in Mae Rim. Traveling up a prolonged windy road in a saungtaew (truck with dual benches), we removed how dedicated spots have been often located on mountains. Indeed there have been most monasteries as well as imagining centers in this area. At Wat Prabhat SiiRauy one can perspective as well as pay respects to a 4 footprints of a Buddha. We got a bullion leaf, candles, incense, as well as flowering plants ready for a occasion. Another considerable site was a recently built ordination gymnasium where there were portraits of both past as well as current kings as well as Thai monks who have been deliberate to be arahats. Luckily for me this ordination gymnasium authorised women to enter, as most in Thailand do not.

But a real reason we am essay about this church is that it has an compared imagining center really nearby. British as well as Thai monk, Phra Paul, is spending a rains shelter here as well as was kind enough to show us around this small visited area. Currently there have been 4 monks living together in this small samnak vipassana, that is a bend church of Ajahn Tong. Phra Paul schooled imagining by staying during Wat Prathat Sri Chom Tong as well as schooled to learn by sitting with as well as watching Ajahn Tongs method. He went by his training program but when a rains shelter began Phra Paul motionless to move to a still of this Samnak Vipassana Prabhat Sii Rauy so that he could work on himself first prior to teaching. The Samnak Vipassana will eventually become an ! Internat ional Monastery as well as thus part of a history of Ajahn Tongs spreading of his centers in Northern Thailand that began in a 1970s.
