Coffin Temple

Went to BKK for sakyant . In some of the day me and my BFF we decide to pay visit to The Famous Coffin Temple in BKK. 

I love the idea of the foundation . In Chinese culture in very big deal to not own a coffin when you pass away . And in Thailand there is many poor . They do not afford to buy coffin. Also there is unknown, they live on the street , they have no family , seem they are invisible , they pass away one day out of sudden ..... mostly pass away due to accident .....no one come and claim their body ...They body are not burial ....  and Thai believe this will make their soul unrest. So this disorganization will do their part , burial the body and give blessing. Also to those poor family they can inform the temple if they are in need of coffin. 

Always the early bird . 

Breakfast alone . 

But honestly i am not afraid to be alone , and i enjoy a lot the peace . 

 

My soduku , and is very windy outside . I do not practice meditation , no other reason just because i don't have a calm mind. But i practice mindful. 

Is very noisy indoor, with a " china tour " so you can imagine the situation.

Watching the movement of those leaves . 

Disturbed by an aunty ...she would like to share my table ....ok why not ? Singaporean , very nice lady , we started to have conversation , again another mom that worry too much over the son. 

 

And the times fly ... 

Finally BFF awake ... and all ready to go . 

So here we are . 

No gonna write in detail about this place ... is just too famous not to be found LOL 

just google it : Thailand coffin temple ... I guess million of write up available for your reference . 

Along the way there is many street food . I love Thai food not only because it taste good , it is with chili ( those who know me , know i cant have my meal without chili . ) Also because it is full with color . 

One coffin only cost 500B ... years never increase price . 

Of cause you can donate 2000 or any amount too , as you wish. 

 

 

You know we are do good, but yet again here come some stupid. 

She said the reason i am doing the charity is because i want to take over 50 % of "his' balance luck. 

In rumors, make the stories short :-

A pass away .

B donated coffin 

So in order to reward the donator B , A must give 50% of his/her leave over "good karma"( good fruit) to the donator and the other 50% will be given to his/her next next next generation . 

So it is consider as greedy act.  

I personally don't believe the rumors. 

To me how much "Luck" this person would have when he/she have no family ? No one care about him/her? She/ He hungry / cold / sick / happy / sad ....Not shower by love.

 I do not believe a person with supported with good karma will end up in this situation. 

If karma is real.

What is the meaning to do good , when you will end up in this after all ? Your good fruit ain't helping. Since his good fruit cant help him, do you think his 50% will help you go somewhere ?

If karma is real . 

One person already in that bad luck , just pay "his debt with his life' , and now wanted to rest the soul , and yet hopeless , nothing can be done but just wait for some good person come and make donation /offer to help him to rest his soul. Do you think this person still have "candy" in his pocket to share with you ? 50 % 50%. 

I don't think so.    

In my life , I learned and know, no matter what you are doing there is always someone there to point at you , you do bad they talk cock , you do good still they will find a way to talk cock about you. So mote it be.

I think they are just another servant of the evil.

 

 

The pink "receipt" - paste on the coffin . 

The one with lot of background print - burn it in front of the god statue. For those who know to tranfer merit can transfer merit to your desire persons .

 

I am always in luck . 

When the time we visit, the temple is in need of gold plate for making a Buddha statue. 

I lost count but a lot of times , when i pay visit to temple , always given opportunity to make offer to help building statue.

But here 1st time in life, so cheap ! one plate one 10B, it is less then RM1 per plate . 

I am not sure neither where this culture from , i been to sri lanka's temples , Thai temples they all do have this culture , all of the statue is empty in middle , and fill up with gold plated , jewelery , and expensive goods really really depend on the offering. 

Make my offering on behalf of my love one. 

I love the glue ... it remind me my schooling time ... i use to remember my mom is a super savvy women , she will cook glue for my art work , cut and paste , handicraft .

This type of glue can no longer seen in town . 

Yah , the typical Chinese ! I am not pure Chinese , but i do love some of the Chinese culture- (not all only some LOL )

There is a bamboo stick in front of 虎爷爷

sorry forget to snap photos .... borrow from google . 

 

What a great stick ;) yahoo !!! Yahoo !!

Oh btw i did not light up any incenses in the temple. But i did give my respect. 

To me this is a wonderful charity , yes one coffin cost 500B to me is nothing , but maybe is a lot to others , if you are interested to make donation , you can share with friends and in this temple there is donation box , you can always leave your money in the donation box . Any amount will do. 

Always :- from your happy heart .
