Merit-making trip to 9 temples, Hua Lamphong Phra Am Luang Temple

A large temple in the middle of the city that we can travel to 24 hours a day, whether by taxi, MRT, Samyan, or by bus that stops nearby. At the entrance of the temple, there are many food carts selling food. It can be said that after work, if you come to the temple, there are many things to eat. Inside the temple, there is almost no space left, but cars can still drive through even though it is a one-way street. Because inside the temple, there are many forms of making merit, starting from worshiping the Buddha, saving the lives of cows and buffaloes, donating candles, worshiping the relics of the Lord Buddha, making merit by donating coffins from Por Tek Tung, donating offerings to worship Rahu, warding off bad luck, extending fate, and many more that are selected for us to make merit according to our faith. In addition, you can also go up to worship the principal Buddha image in the chapel, which was built during the reigns of King Rama I - III for good luck in life. As for donating coffins, this is the highlight here because it is guaranteed that this money will be used to help with the funerals of the homeless 100%, unlike the group of people who like to walk around and urge us to donate coffins, but we don't know if the money will actually reach the recipients or not. There are not many steps. Start by writing a donation slip to show who you want to dedicate your merit to. Then, give the donation money to the staff. The staff will give you a slip to stick on the coffin model inside with homemade wet flour. Another thing that many people like to do is redeem the lives of cows and buffaloes. There will be a slip for you to write, but you can put the money in a metal donation box. After that, you can take food to feed the cows. Mostly, there will be dry grass, bananas, or sometimes morning glory, depending on the season. If anyone wants to redeem the lives of cows, I recommend this place. It's the most convenient. Overall, this temple is designed to meet the needs of city people who don't have time to make merit far away, but can easily share with fellow human beings. As for what should be improved, it should be the congestion that is packed so tightly together. And if there is a parking lot outside, it would be great because when there are a lot of cars coming in and out, it becomes very difficult./ #thailand #beautifultemplesinthailand #makemeritandworship
