Description: |
|
The grounds of Wat Pa Sutthawat, on the southwestern outskirts
of Sakon Nakhon, are essentially a shrine to one of Thailand's
best-known monks, Ajahn Mun Bhuridatto, who helped found the
temple but didn't live here until just before his death in 1949.
The final resting place of his personal effects, the Ajahn Mun
Museum (6am to 7pm), looks a bit like a modern Christian church,
with arches and etched-glass windows.
A bronze image of
Ajahn Mun sits on a pedestal at the back and relics that
remained after his cremation are in a glass box in front. Signs
are in English.
Ajahn Lui Chanthasaro, who died in 1989,
was one of Ajahn Mun's most famous students, and King Rama IX
designed the chedi that holds the Ajahn Lui Museum. Ajahn Lui is
represented in wax. |
