The sacred Buddha image of Trang
Luang Por Ka Kaew - Karam
Hello friends, after being absent for 2-3 days, tonight I will come back to write a post as usual. In this post, I will take you to see another beautiful temple in Trang Province, which is Wat Sarikaram or the temple that the locals call it Wat Sai Ka.
When I arrived at the temple, the first thing that stood out to me was the temple gate every night. The Wat Sarikaram gate is a beautiful temple gate, with Thai patterns and a Buddha statue on the temple gate. Before thinking of turning into the temple, I parked my car opposite the gate and walked to take pictures with my phone and Canon camera. This temple gate is very beautiful, different from other temple gates that I have taken pictures of. I stood and admired it. It was quite a job with the intricate molding and various patterns on this gate.
I let my wife drive and park inside the temple while I walked in and took some pictures. I stopped at the bell tower which had beautiful and distinctive designs that could be clearly seen from far away. It was a bell tower with very beautiful Thai designs. In addition, this area was where firecrackers were lit, which I don't know what they were called, but there were quite a few traces of firecrackers being lit. There were scraps of paper from the firecrackers that were left over, which made me feel that this temple had a lot of faith from the villagers and visitors.
The church is also beautiful. I forgot about the church and took a picture, and stepped into the church with faith. Inside the church, there are many Buddha statues. Inside the church, there is the principal Buddha statue, the Buddha statue in the Mara-Vijaya posture, and the white stone Buddha statue, which are enshrined inside. In addition to the important Buddha statues, there is also a stucco Buddha statue in the Parinirvana posture. There is also a small pagoda inside this church. Importantly, there are decorations similar to the southern Manora dance in my hometown. I paid homage to the Buddha statues, and inside the church, there were many villagers who came to ask for blessings or whatever they wanted.
As for the important places in the temple, Luang Pho Ka Kaew - Karam
I walked out of the chapel and went to various places in the temple. This temple has quite a few Buddha statues. In each area of the temple, there are many Buddha statues enshrined as prominent points.
I walked to the parking lot where I parked my car to get my camera because it seemed like my camera battery was low. So I went to get my camera hook. When I looked back at the temple entrance, I thought this angle was beautiful, so I took another picture.
This area is like a cafeteria. The inside of the building is like a place for meditation or teaching novices. However, I had the opportunity to meet a monk. He allowed me to take pictures and walk around the building. This building may not look wide from the outside, but when I went inside, the building was quite wide and beautifully arranged. I talked to the monk and learned about the summer ordination in a few days. There was a sign in front of the temple and at the bell tower. While I was taking pictures and walking around the temple, I saw it but didn't read it. In this building or pavilion, there are many steps lined up and there are many small and large Buddha statues. You can make merit according to your birth date.
These two pictures are of cows. I think my friends are probably confused as to why there were cows in a temple photo. I was a little confused when I entered the temple area. I forgot to write it the first time. I'll just write it according to the picture. In this temple, there are two cows in front of the door. There is a small pavilion on the right. It is the kitchen for these two cows and there is grass and food for us to make merit. I recommend giving these things to animals like these two cows to eat. Consider it making merit. I would like to say "Sadhu" as well.
When leaving the pavilion, I got a lot of information about this place. The history of Wat Sarikaram or Wat Sai Ka, this temple in history recorded that it was built in 1797, which is an old temple, a symbol of Trang city, located at Ban Khok Pla, Tambon Khok Lo, Amphoe Mueang Trang, Trang Province. If you have a chance to visit Trang Province, you can stop by to see beautiful temples. Here, there are both beautiful temples and souvenirs such as Trang cakes, Trang grilled pork, and many other things for everyone to come and learn here. You are very welcome. As for today, I have to say goodbye.
