春饭～～

我想“春饭”这两个字好像怪怪的对吧？大家试着用“福建话”读读看！

记得从小爸爸都会在除夕夜，拿一个碗装满白米饭，围一圈红枣，上面插一朵红春花，然后就端到大厅搁到神案上，这就是春饭、过年饭。因为福建话的春与剩同音，表示年年有余粮过年，意思即怎么吃也吃不完。当然只要是对家里好的，我当然一定会做的！

这碗饭会从除夕放到年初四，当然一定会发现上面都长了霉菌，据说想要知道一整年的家运，就要看看是什么颜色的菌，如果是黑色。。。当然就不太好，反之如果是红色，或鲜艳一点的颜色，那么。。恭喜了！

不管是什么颜色，过了初四就得用些金纸一起焚化。

School fights a drop in monks

The country's first Buddhist missionary school has taken up the task of arresting the sharp decline in men entering the monkhood.

The number of men becoming monks has plummeted from five million a few years ago to just 1.5 million, said Phra Maha Wutthichai Wachiramethee, the school's founder.

The Triam Sammanen school, under the royal patronage of HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, trains novices to become good monks, Phra Maha Wutthichai said.
"Buddhism is at a critical stage worldwide," the monk said. "In the United States a number of Buddhist temples are facing closure, while monks in Japan have to work hard to earn money to support the temples.
"For Thailand, if things remain unchanged, temples will soon become a place where people come only to perform rituals."

A belief that every Thai man should enter the monkhood as an expression of gratitude to his parents no longer holds, he said. These days, monks are generally from families who use the monkhood as an escape from economic hardship.

A shortage of clerics is not the only problem facing Buddhism. The failure of monks to spread the Buddha's teachings is also troubling, the monk quoted Princess Sirindhorn as saying.

Phra Maha Wutthichai, who has written a number of religious books under his pen name Wor Wachiramethee, said many monks today cannot read the Pali language, which is a requirement if you want to become a Buddhist preacher.

All they do is learn how to chant prayers from senior monks, which is not enough, he said. Some are even ordained to use their position to amass wealth by seeking cash donations.
These fake monks have tarnished the Sangha's image and that is one reason men are now reluctant to enter the monkhood, he said.

Phra Maha Wutthichai, abbot of Krung Tai temple in Chiang Rai's Chiang Khong district, said the preparatory school's job would be to persuade children to learn dhamma deeply, to produce more monks and to raise their knowledge base.

The school inside the Krung Tai temple compound is open to novices of all ages and nationality. It offers three levels of dhamma study.

There are also courses in the English, French, Chinese and Japanese languages for lay-people, both male and female, with the cooperation of the Chiang Rai Rajabhat University.
The school currently has 120 novices and 60 lay-people, of whom more than 90% are hilltribe people.

泰国华裔庆新年

大年三十或除夕，泰国的华人家庭至少要拜三次，第一次为午前摆供桌拜祖先和神灵，第二次为午后祭拜超渡孤鬼游魂(祭拜品摆在门前地板上)，第三次则是午夜拜灶神。有的华人家庭则在正月初一凌晨一到，立即在大门前摆起供桌，以“三牲”或“五牲”、各类水果和甜品祭拜神灵，祈祷全年大吉大利，万事顺心。


凌晨祭拜结束后，全家吃起年夜饭，吃好后再入睡。当早上一觉醒来，还不能忘了拜家中燃烛点香祭拜土地爷。曼谷老一辈华侨华裔春节前后必定要到石龙军路的“龙莲寺”或“大峰公”等神庙祭神祈求吉祥。


而曼谷新一代华裔则热衷参加另一项新活动，正月初一一到，须在日落之前逐一拜完城隍庙和九座神圣佛寺，九座佛寺一般包括：玉佛寺、善见寺、卧佛寺、金山寺、差纳颂堪寺、黎明寺、大钟寺、甘拉雅尼密佛寺，以及僧王修行的巴翁尼卫佛寺等等，每到一座佛寺，作不同的祈祷或许愿，例如祈祷全年人缘好、生意兴隆、合合美美、事事顺心。当然，连拜九寺祈求来年爱情甜美、婚姻幸福是新一代华裔必不可少的愿望。

泰国的华裔家庭正月初一最忌“上班”，因为意味着要全年上班永无休假。多数华裔家庭一休便是三、五天，甚至出远门旅游大吉。除了政府部门不放假，华人企事业单位定会给员工放长假。

新年快乐！

祝愿大家：

新年快乐！身体健康！万事如意！岁岁平安！牛年行大运！

恭喜！恭喜！

Wat U-Mong Suan Putha-tham ( Chiangmai)

Located in a grove Wat U-Mong (Tunnel Temple) is a practicing meditation temple. The origins of the temple, which are traced to the 14th century, are obscure. The temple may have been founded by King Mangrai himself to accommodate some forest monks from Sri Lanka. One legend relates that King Ku Na may have developed the temple in the 1380's to accommodate a celebrated monk called Therachan. The king used to consult the monk on various problems when the monk was in residence at a temple in the old city (Wat U-Mong Maha Therachan).

On occasions, however, the monk was thought to be a little "eccentric" because he preferred the solitude offered by the forest retreat to the city temples.Records suggest the temple may have become deserted as early as the end of the reign of King Tilokarat (1487). The site only became a monastery again in 1948.A strong influence on the temple has been the Buddhist philosophy of the late Buddhadhasa Bhikkhu, one of Thailand's most celebrated 20th century monks. His statue stands on an islet in the lake to the south of the chedi. The Venerable favored the natural environment of the forest over human construction. As a result the modest temple buildings are surrounded by trees.A path from the main entrance leads up past a Buddhist museum. It continues between a kuti and a "spiritual theater" which contains murals depicting Buddhist wisdom. The path then reaches a raised area with walls of brick. Tunnels lead to meditation cells and a venerated Buddha image. Some of the oldest murals in Thailand used to be visible in these tunnels, but they have now disappeared.

The bell shaped chedi above is reached by a stairway. From the chedi walk north above the Tunnels to see a fine Buddha image cast in the ascetic style.The temple grounds also extend to cover an open zoo on the side of the mountain. The front entrance lies up a short lane on the south side of the temple.The zoo has an inner fenced area connected to the main temple compound by a small back gate in the west fence.

This inner area contains kuti for monks in the classic forest tradition. Tame deer wander the park and the park sanctuary is a good site for bird watching.

Wat Phra Kaew วัดพระแก้ว

Wat Phra Kaew ~~Temple of the Emerald Buddha, วัดพระแก้ว; official name Wat Phra Sri Rattana Satsadaram, วัดพระศรีรัตนศาสดาราม is regarded as the most sacred wat in Thailand. It is located in the historic center of Bangkok district Phra Nakhon, within the grounds of the Gran Palace.

The construction of the temple started when King Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke (Rama I) moved the capital from Thonburi to Bangkok in 1785. Unlike other temples it does not contain living quarters for monks; rather, it has only the highly decorated holy buildings, statues, and pagodas. The main building is the central ubosoth, which houses the Emerald Buddha. There are three main doors used to enter the temple, however only the King and Queen are allowed to enter through the center door. Even though it is small in size it is the most important icon for Thai people.

Legends hold that the statue originated in India, but it first surfaced in the vassal Kingdom of Cambodia and was given as a gift to the King of Ayuttaya in the 15th century 1434. The image disappeared when Burmese raiders sacked Ayuttaya and the image was feared lost. A century later, the 'Emerald' Buddha reappeared in Chiang Saen, after a rainstorm washed away some of its plaster covering. It was then moved to Chiang Rai, then Chiang Mai, where it was removed by prince Setatiratt to Luang Prabang, when his father died and he ascended the throne of that Siamese vassal state.

In later years it was moved to the Siamese vassal state of Vientiene. During a Haw invasion from the North, Luang Prabang requested Siam's help in repelling the invaders. The King of Vietienne tratoriously attacked the Siamese army from the rear, so the 'Emerald' Buddha returned to Siam when King Taksin fought with Laos and his general Chakri (the later King Rama I) took it from Vientiane, which at that time had been brought to its knees by the Thai Army. It was first taken to Thonburi and in 1784 it was moved to its current location. Wat Preah Keo, in Phnom Penh, is considered by many modern Cambodians as its rightful resting place, whereas, Haw Phra Kaew, in Vientiane, is considered by many Lao people as the Emerald Buddha's rightful place.

The wall surrounding the temple area – from the outside only a plain white wall – is painted with scenes from the Thai version of the Ramayana mythology, the Ramakian. Several statues in the temple area resemble figures from this story, most notably the giants (yak), five-meter high statues. Also originating from the Ramayana are the monkey kings and giants which surround the golden chedis.The Temple also contains a model of Angkor Wat, added by King Nangklao(Rama III), as the Khmer empire of Cambodia and the Thais share cultural and religious roots.

Wat Benchamabophit Dusitvanaram (วัดเบญจมบพิตรดุสิตวนารามราชวรวิหาร) is a Buddhist temple in the Dusit district of Bangkok, Thailand.

Also known as the marble temple, it is one of Bangkok's most beautiful temples and a major tourist attraction. Construction of the temple began in 1899 at the request of King Chulalongkorn after building his palace nearby. The temple's name literally means the Temple of the fifth King located nearby Dusit Palace. It was designed by Prince Naris, a half-brother of the king, and is built of Italian marble.

Inside the Ordination Hall (Ubosot) is a Sukhothai-style Buddha statue named Phra Buddhajinaraja, cast in 1920 after the original located in Wat Mahathat in Phitsanulok. The ashes of King Chulalongkorn are buried beneath the statue. In the gallery surrounding the ordination hall are 52 buddha statues, collected by Prince Damrong Rajanubhab for his king.Each one is different in style and pose, with highlights including the Buddha in walking posture statue, and subduing Mara posture statue.

Wat Ratchabophit First Class - Wat for King Rama V

Built in 1869, Wat Ratchabophit was the first temple to be commissioned by King Rama V, who had it built to commemorate his Queen and concubines.

Located in Rattanakosin not far from the Grand Palace, it has distinct gothic elements that distinguish it from other temples in the area. Both the 'wiharn' (prayer hall) and 'ubosot' (ordination hall), for example, have typically Thai exteriors, decorated in hand-painted glazed benjarong ceramics and elaborate gold gilded door and window frames, but European style interiors similar to that of a gothic cathedral.

The ubosot contains a well known gold-gilded Buddha image in the meditation posture, Phra Buddha Ankhiros, and rests on a base in which the ashes of Rama VII, who later inherited the temple, are kept. Instead of the typical eight sema, or boundary, stones are eight stone pillars surmounted with a carving of the Buddhist wheel of law.

An impressive chedi modelled after the famous Phra Pathom Chedi in Nakhon Pathom province (the highest Chedi in the world), contains relics of Lord Buddha, while the enclosure around it contains many Buddha images in varying postures. There is also a royal cemetery with monuments containing the ashes of the Queen, concubines, sons and daughters of King Rama V, and various other member of the Royal Family.

Open: 09:00 - 18:00

Where: 2 Fuang Nakhon Road, Phra Nakhon

Wat Rakhang (Second Class Royal Wat)

Wat Rakhangkhositraram Woramahavihara , an ancient temple located in Thonburi next to the Chao Phraya River, Wat Rakhang was originally built in the Ayutthaya period. It earned its name - meaning temple bell - during the reign of King Rama I, when a bell was found in the temple compound.

Later, King Rama II had this moved to Wat Phra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald Buddha), sending five new ones in its place. These can be found in the pretty Hor Rakhang, or bell tower, which is built in the four-gable style of Ayutthaya and early Rattanokosin periods and located in the corner of the temple compound.

Not far from this is an elegant Ho Trai, or library, considered an outstanding example of Thai architecture. Once the residence of King Rama I before his ascendance to the throne, its three adjoining buildings today function as a small museum, housing beautiful scriptures stored in lacquer and guilt cabinets. An elaborately decorated Ubosot, or ordination hall, features murals by Phra Wanwadwichit, a well-known artist of the King Rama VI era.

Open: 05:00 - 21:00

Wat Intharavihan วัดอินทรวิหาร- Wat Luang Pho To

Wat Intharavihara ( Wat In ) is located on Visut Kasat Road, near Bang Khun Phrom Intersection opposite the Bank of Thailand .

It was built at the beginning of the Ayutthaya period and was originally called Wat Rai Phrik.

It was renovated and renamed Wat Intharam when King Rama I provided land in Bang khun Phrom Sub-district for the settlement of prisoners of war from Vientiane.

Chao In, an uncle of Chao Noi Khiew Khom, one of the King's chief wives, renovated the temple and invited Chao Khun Phra Aranyik, a monk who had also come from Vientiane, to preside as an abbot. Chao Inthawong , the son of Somdej Phra Boworn Rajchao Mahasakdipholasep, was responsible for a second renovation. Chao Khun Phra Aranyik was an expert in meditation and had once been the instructor of Somdej Phra Buddhacharn ( To ) of Wat Rakhangkhositaram, who initiated the construction of Luang Pho To, a large standing Buddha image.

The construction of the image had reached only to the navel when Somdej Phra Buddhacharn died. It was completed in the reign of King Rama VII. Luang Pho To is a statue of the Buddha holding an alms bowl. When the statue was completed, the temple held a three-day celebration on 4-6 March, 1928, and this festival has been held annually ever since.

King Rama VI renamed the temple Wat Intharavihan because the name was the same as Wat Intharam ( Wat Bangyirua Tai ) in Thonburi. People generally refer to the temple as Wat In, Wat In Bang Khun Phrom, or Wat Luang Pho To.

Open: 08:30 - 20:00

Wat Hua Lamphong วัดหัวลำโพง

Wat Hua Lamphong is nice Buddhist temple located on Rama 4, just beyond the entrance to Silom. The temple is one of the newer Wats in Bangkok and therefore rarely visited by tourists. The temple complex is nicely incorporated in modern buildings around.


Wat Hua Lampong was extensively remodeled in honor of His Majesty the King's 50 anniversary on the throne. The royal seal of the Kanchanapisek Year (as it was called) is used extensively throughout the temple's elaborate decorations. The seal features two elephants flanking a multi-tiered umbrella.
The temple is actually quite large, and if you wander around you will find some interesting older buildings.

Wat Hua Lampong faces Rama IV Road a short distance from the Montien Hotel. If taking the Skytrain, alight at the Saladaeng Station, walk through Taniya Alley, cross Suriwong Road, Rama IV will be on your right. Turn left on Rama IV and walk down about one block.

Wat Pa Lelai วัดป่าเลไลยก์วรวิหาร

Wat Pa Lelai Worawihan is located on the banks of Tha Chi River.It is generally called "Wat Pa" by the villagers. The temple has the royal insignia of King Rama V, which shows that it is a royal temple.

According to historical records, before succeeding to the throne, King Rama V was a monk and it was during that time that he was responsible for founding Wat Pa Lelai Worawihan. After he became the king, King Rama V had the temple restored to its former glory.


The Vihara houses a 23.46 metersBuddha image named "Luang Pho To" in the attitude of leading a jungle life. The image, highly revered by the people, was formerly in the attitude of giving the first preaching sermon but was changed to the present attitude when it was renovated. You can see the seated Buddha image accepting offerings from an elephant and monkey, which is a typical art form of U Thong Suphannaphum era. In addition to the Luang Pho To, the wihan also houses 36 Buddha relics.


Every year there are two worshipping fairs falling on the 5th to the 9th waxing moon days of the 5th and the 12th lunar months repectively.

Wat Phai Rong Wua

Phra Phutta Khodom, the largest bronze Buddha image in the world, is the first piece of work of Luang Pho Khom known to both Thai and foreign tourists.

It is often called by the villagers as Wat Luang Pho Khom, located by the side of Klong Phraya Banlue in the Bang Ta Ten Sub-District. This temple was built in 1926. Luang Pho Khom has been invited from Wat Bang Sam to become the abbot and he has built everything that becomes the present Wat Phai Rong Wua.

It houses the largest metal cast Buddha image of the world called Phra Phutthakhodom, which has a lap width of 10 metres and a height of 26 metres. There are various sites concerning Buddhism, such as, the Three Season Palace of Prince Sitthattha, places of gaining enlightenment, giving the first preaching sermon, Nivarna (passing away stage) and the hell being community.

The monastery is reached by Highway No. 321 to Amphoe Song Phi Nong with right turn to Wat Phai Rong Wua or take a boat trip from Tha Chang Landing, Bangkok, every Sunday at 07:00 hours.

Most impressive, there is a terrifying representation of the Buddhist conception of hell. Some of the depictions are pretty gruesome and the Thais are taking this to teach the children to be afraid of sins.
