Hat Yai 4 Faced Buddha!
I was very excited about this temple becos devotees can purchase fire crackers! YES Fire Crackers and light them up at the designated place, but... that day was BUDDHIST day and hence fire cracker is prohibited... sigh... Anyway, we still pray there and purchase 2 wooden elephant for worshipping of Brahma. The view there was beautiful.

Highly revered monk Luangta Maha Bua Yanasampanno passed away early Sunday. He was 98 years old.
His followers at Wat Pa Ban Tad in Udon Thani said the abbot of the temple died at 3:53 am.
Luangta Maha Bua was born Bua Lohitdee on August 12, 1913 in Ban Tad, Udon Thani's Mak Khaeng district to a well-to-do farming family and had 15 siblings. At the age of 20, he was ordained as a monk on May 12, 1934, at Wat Yothanimit, according to the Thai tradition for his parents' merit.
Luangta Maha Bua, who was a student of much-respected Luangpu Man Phurithatto, is renowned for leading many fund-raising events for charitable causes and helping to restore the country's national reserves after they were depleted in the "Tom Yam Gung" financial crisis in 1997-98.

Stainless Steel Temple in Hatyai
According to the chinese paper, a very staunch buddhist couple , mediating one day and "saw" Buddha! Buddha said to him " Would you give up your piece of land and build a 3 storey high Chedi for all people to come and pray?" He committed to Buddha and begin to get plans draw up but the money needed was far more than he can afford. One day there is this old lady who came to him and offer a donation for him to build the temple. Guess all these are Buddha's will bring 2 strangers together to start the project. In 5th December 2005 they invited top monks from thailand for the ground breaking ceremony.
The 90% Stainless Steel built Pahama Hatat Jidee Thai Po Tham Mon Koon temple was completed in February 2006 ( total of 160days) cost approximately S$1m.

处世百字铭
寡欲精神爽，多思气血衰。少饮不乱性，忍气免伤财。贵自勤中得，富从俭里来。温柔终益己，强暴必招灾。善处真君子，刁钻是祸胎。暗中休使箭，乖里藏些呆。养性须修善，欺心莫吃斋。衙门休出入，乡党要和谐。安分身无辱，是非口不开。世人依此言，灾退福自来。Friday, 1 October, 2010

| A Thai monk walks 20 kilometres on barefoot a day to remind those who pursue a material life to protect and concern about mother nature. He stressed that his main purpose is to practice Buddhist rules and at the same time, lead the people to the path of virtue. It is also meant to develop the Buddhist spirit. When he was staying in Simpang, he urged everyone to concern about and appreciate mother nature. Also, he promoted an environmental friendly and simple lifestyle of eating and consuming less but to walk more. He said that he had visited many countries, including Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and India over the past 30 years. And he walked more than 10 thousand kilometres every year. "Not many monks live an ascetic life nowadays. That's why everyone looks at me with curiosity as they think ascetic monks can only be found in books," he said. He also said that he walks five to six hours for more than 10 kilometres everyday. He has no money but a lot of people give him alms. Although his soles are blistered and painful, he feels happy. "Some people work hard everyday to earn money in order to pursue a material life. They destroy natural resources but they are not truly happy." He said that it is applies to human relationships, too. "As long as you treat others friendly and reduce hatred, you'll get a peaceful mind in return," he added. He also advised people to be vegetarians for health purposes and to reduce killing lives.
