"Luang Pho To" Wat Bang Phli Yai in Samut Prakan Province

Waves of faith from people flowed unceasingly.

With faith, belief, and not least, intending to make merit for the prosperity of oneself, family, friends, close relatives and friends.

Luang Pho To... is a Buddha image in the subduing Mara posture, open eyes, cross-legged, Sukhothai art.

Turning over the record, it says that more than 200 years ago, there were 3 Buddha images that miraculously flowed along the Chao Phraya River. It was estimated that ... the villagers of the Ayutthaya period prayed that he descended into the river to avoid the enemy who invaded Siam.

As if by a miracle, Luang Pho To was the last Buddha image that floated back into the Samrong Canal until the villagers saw it and were amazed at his holiness.

Aiming at praying at the mouth of the Samrong Canal

But it appears that the Buddha image is not moving at all.

until one wise man commented that

Probably unsuccessful in pulling it ashore.

saw that it was appropriate to take a risk by tying the raft down to the Buddha image and using a rowing boat to drag it along the river

and pray that

“If you wish to go up anywhere please

Show me a miracle that the floating raft stops at that place."

The strange point may be by chance or not know how.

The rowing boats used to tow all have strange names such as seahorses, ducks, and geckos.

merry throughout the river

When arriving in front of Wat Phlapphla, Victory War or

"Wat Bang Phli Yai Nai" appeared that the raft that was tying the Buddha image stopped.

Even though there was an effort to exert intense…pie to continue, there was no movement whatsoever.

Of course, what happened shocked and amazed the people who were in the procession.

They bowed down and worshiped with respect and faith.

together with the intention of praying that

“If Reverend Father would please protect the people of Bang Phli so that they could be peaceful.

Be happy and ask for prayer to summon Reverend Father to get out of the water easily."

And then… a miracle happened.

incredible

With not much manpower, he was able to invite the Buddha image to be enshrined in the temple.

Just have to wait to enter the side of the temple because it's not finished yet, plus the door is small.

Way of life of community people in the neighborhood of the temple

Of course, there has been a continual belief in "Luang Pho To" for a long time.

Reflected until it became a community identity that was mutually accepted that Luang Pho Than was a great spiritual attachment.

Whether it is faith in the visit to worship and ask for blessings

Rent to worship the Buddha image.

If there is something uncomfortable

Every desire will come on the court.

In addition, when there are various merit-making events...Luang Pho To is also a sacred thing to remember...There is also

“Rab Bua Tradition” is one of the ancient traditions that have been handed down since the past.

More importantly, there is only one in Thailand.

People in the community when it's close to receiving lotuses will feel very happy.

They also volunteered to help with big and small events that no one asked for.

Lotus Receiving Tradition

It falls on the 14th day of the 11th lunar month, one day before the end of the Buddhist Lent.

for a reason called

“Rab lotus tradition” is because it involves handing a lotus flower to the hand, so it is called “Rab lotus”.

causing the decline of hand-to-hand giving and receiving

Until lately it has been said that "Yon Bua" instead of "Rab Bua"

Time passed by

The word 'Rab Bua' gradually faded away.

Until not many people understand that the ancient tradition of the community in this area is Yon Bua.

Especially when combined with the image of the lotus throwing into the boat of Reverend Father To that has been seen in various media.

So much more makes the word Yon Bua more clear.

It is said that according to faith...the faith of "Luang Pho To" is very sacred.

Rumors are told about the treatment of sickness, for example, when bringing holy water to treat for prosperity

It appears that the symptoms have alleviated to the point that they can be completely healed.

Or... even the altar coins were said to be very sacred.

Villagers bring it to wear for their children.

Rumor has it that when falling into the water, it floats without any danger.

I don't know if it's true or not. I don't know if anyone dares to prove it or not.

Moreover, around the middle of 1977, the bronze Buddha image became soft like human flesh until it became famous news in all newspapers.

Of course, the villagers who believed in Luang Por To from all over the world came to admire his prestige.

It's unbelievable, you have to believe that ... only two years have passed, and the phenomenon as mentioned above has occurred again.

It was unbelievable.

It's really amazing.

Whether yesterday or today, "Bang Phli people" all believe in the holiness, the act of "Luang Pho To" that protects Bang Phli market people to survive and be safe.

Whether it's a natural disaster

Threats from fire accidents

Including economic dangers that even if anyone thinks well, does good things, diligently earns a living ... You are like everyone, never starve or suffer.
