Wat Boromracha Kanchanapisek Anusorn (or Wat Leng Noei Yi 2) is
a Chinese temple under the patronage of the Chinese Buddhist
Sangha in Thailand or Mahayana Buddhism. Covering the area of 12
rai, the temple is located on Address 75, moo 4, Tambon Sanoloi,
Amphoe Bang Bua Tong, Nonthaburi. It was built on June 9th ,
1996 to commemorate the
50th Anniversary of King Bhumibol’s Accession to the Throne.
Initially, it was only a tiny vegetarian hall on approximately 2
rai. Later, the Chinese Buddhist Sangha in Thailand, led by Wat
Mangkorn Kamalawat (Wat Leng Noei Yi 1) had assigned Venerable
Phra Kanajanjin Dharma Punya Jariyaporn (Tan Chao Khun Yen
Chiew) to be the temple construction Sangha president, and Phra
Maha Kanajanjin Dharma Samathiwat to be the construction
counseling Sangha president. All Thai-Chinese Buddhists were
encouraged to donate in the construction in order to make merit
for the king on occasion of his 50th anniversary. Mr.Kwankeo
Watharothai, Lord Chamberlain in the Bureau of the Household,
had asked for the royal permission to build the temple. King
Bhumibol granted, and bestowed the name for the temple as “Wat
Boromracha Kanchanapisek Anusorn—Chinese Sangha Rang San Sect”
Presently, Wat Boromracha Kanchanapisek Anusorn—Chinese
Sangha Rang San Sect has been completely constructed. It went
around 12 years (1996-2008) under the construction. The
architecture of the Viharas in the temple were immensely
influenced by Mahayana or Chinese Buddhist philosophy and
Buddhist doctrine. The Viharas consist of Guan Yim Bodhisattava
Vihara, Meun Buddhasukkavadi Hall, Burapajarn Vihara, Meditation
Hall, Monk Residence (Kuti), and Phra Pariyat Tham School. Since
Wat Leng Noei Yi 2 was a Mahayana or Chinese Buddhist temple, it
also holds Chinese cultural festivals such as Chinese New Year,
or Vegetarian Festival (Gin Jay) as well. Wat Boromracha
Kanchanapisek Anusorn is therefore crowded with people who
attend religious festival upon their belief. |
