Inviting everyone to join me in making merit through the contribution of Bamboo to hang Lanterns and Thung to worship Lord Buddha for Chao Khun Rak's Birthday, New Year festival and Chinese New year till B.E. 2666🙏🏻
🙏🏻Event: Contribution of Bamboo and Thung
🛕Temple: Wat Suttawas Vippassana, Phra Nakron Si Ayutthaya.
💐What is the significance of Thung?
Thung has been an important rite for the North-Eastern people of Thailand for a long time.
It is believed that Thung can be used to protect against any bad that would interfere with Merit Making.
Thung also serves the purpose of a Beacon to the Deities around the area, by letting the Deities know that there is Merit Making or Important Ceremonies ongoing.
It also reflects the belief of connecting souls and lead them to the Teaching of Dharma.
The Spider Web shape seen on a Thung is also an important feature of the Thung.
Usually made of various colours of Yarn or Silk, the Spider Web is commonly 4 or 6-sided.
The end result is a beautiful deco for the temple and the sacred area.
Overall, it is a good merit to offer a Thung to the temple.
💐How to contribute to this merit?
Donate: 150 baht or $6 for 1 set.
Total 500 pieces are required.
Please contact me if you're interested to join this blessing ceremony.
Thank you. Sadhu Phutto Arahang 🙏🏻
