Description: |

The area of 50 Rai of Maha Pathumma Witthaya Yanna Sampanno
Buddhist Park in Wat Chak yai provides tranquillity and calmness
to all visitors because it is lush, shady and full of trees.
Wat Chak yai was founded in 1955 by Phra Dhamma Visuddhi Mangala
to serve as a meditation center. Formerly, it was a forested
area and there was only one monk’s living quarter made from Nypa
palm leaves. In 1965, Phra Thammarat (the rector) resided at the
temple and had a vision. In his dream a goddess appeared and
told him to stay at the temple for good because there would be
religious artifacts potentiating him. Later, the oracle became
true as there are a tremendous number of religious artifacts
constructed and installed by Buddhist fellows. Within the
ground of the Buddhist Park is home to a gigantic Buddha
sculpture depicting the way in which the Lord Buddha preached
his disciples. The park is also filled with several other
sculptures. Each with a sign that explains the series of
Buddha’s life very clearly. In addition to these sculptures,
visitor can pay homage to the two Buddha images - one in the
reclining posture and the other in the Naga protection posture –
for better fortune. The Buddhist Park is pleasantly peaceful
with assorted big and small plants, as well as, rubber trees. If
you happen to walk around the temple, it is noticeable that the
walls and the roofs of monks’ living quarters are covered with
Nypa palm leaves. This is apparently Phra Ajarn Maha Bua’s
intention to build basic living quarters to accommodate monks
keen on meditation practices. The Buddhist Park at Wat Chak
Yai is open to general visitors from 8.00 am – 18.00 pm without
charging the admission fee. It is convenient to reach there via
Highway 3149 from Sukhumvit Road. After driving pass the
entrance to Phlio waterfall, turn right at the first T-junction
(the entrance to Laem Sing district). Go straight for 500
meters. The temple is on your right. |
