| Description: |
Wat Bang Ping is an
ancient temple built in 1917, next to Khlong Bang Ping, The top of a two-story building enshrines Phra Bud-dha Lokkachet Wisetkittipan Mahabuchonchit, an enormous Buddha image in the attitude of opening the three worlds in Gandhara art. After the foundation stone was laid on May 25, 2013, the construction started later in Septem- ber, gradually completed, and held a celebratory ceremony in October 2016. The name means “the world’s most notable Lord Buddha, magnificently and faithfully crafted by Phra Kittipala Mahathera, humbly respected and worshipped among the people”. It was built upon the wish of Phra Khru Wisan Phatthanakan, abbot of Wat Bang Ping, to complete the task of Phra Khru Phiphit Phat- thanaphithan, the former abbot, as a spiritual sanctuary of Wat Bang Ping, inviting the Buddha statue’s model from Wat Buddha Uthayan (Ooi In See), Chiang Rai. The sculpture is 32 meters tall from the ground to the head, and 25 meters tall from the feet to the head. The first floor of the building beneath houses a Buddhist ceremonial ground, an elevator that conveniently leads to Phra Buddha Lokkachet. (Source: https://online.fliphtml5.com/wjkef/qpzn/ ) |
