Description: |
|
Khao Phra Phutthabat Noi is located in Phra Phutthabat Noi
Temple at Songkorn sub-district featuring undulating steep
limestone mountains comprising of many pointed summits. At these
summits, endemic species including limestone wren-babblers and
Sumatran serows which are called Indra’s horse by the locals can
be viewed. The latter live in Tham Sam Khao. Inside lies a
replica of the Buddha’s footprint with 1 cubit wide and 3 cubits
long. It is an ancient and sacred Buddha’s footprint. The
footprints were created when Buddha gazed intently at the rock
and turned it into water. Then he puts his footprints there.
He could make it in various sizes. This powerful
footprint represents his power which he knew later the place
would become an important religious location. Inside, there is
always running water. To worship Buddha’s footprints even with
one single flower, the doer will receive merits in celestial
world. Those who pay homage to the footprints by constructing,
writing, praying and listening with good intention, the bad and
dangerous things will be casted away. They will escape from the
karmas that they have done; in other words, they reach nirvana.
The cliff at Phra Phutthabat Noi Temple is quite steep;
therefore, it is perfect for amateurs who love climbing. As for
those who do not wish to join this activity, they can do the
swing while viewing the Pa Sak River scene and the whole
Saraburi view. To visit, by personal car, Khao Phra
