This amulet of Buddha Images for Each Day of the Week is released from Wat Phra That Doi Suthep (Wat Doi Suthep) temple in Chiang Mai Province. The temple is 14 kilometers away from the center of Chiang Mai. It is the most important temple in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The original founding of the temple remains a legend; this temple is said to have been founded in 1383 when the first stupa was built. Over time, the temple expanded and was made to look more extravagant, with many more holy shrines added, and the road to the temple was constructed in 1935. The beauty of Wat Doi Suthep is marked by seven-headed serpent statues that line the 309 steps staircase to reach the temple, where a Golden Pagoda and all its exquisite Lanna architecture styles are situated.
This amulet can only be obtained at Wat Doi Suthep's temple ground. This Buddha Birth Day amulet does not come with the original temple box. It is inserted in a clear transparent plastic bag.
Buddha images represent moments in the Buddha's life. Thai people always respect their particular Buddha images that match their days of birth. To check your day of delivery, please click here for Calendar Conversion.
Monday Buddha – Phra Ham Yath Buddha
The Day of Making Peace
The city of Vesali was tormented by three evils: poverty, cholera, and devils. Devils were roaming the city, feasting on dead bodies and even people. The King of Vesali was advised to seek the help of the Buddha. Accepting the invitation, the Buddha, with company, arrived at Vesali. With his transcendental powers, he caused heavy rain to pour down, so severe that it cleaned the city of all dead bodies and uncleanliness. Later, his disciple Ananda went around the city, reciting portions of the Tipitaka and sprinkling lustral water around the city. Humans were healed, while all devils were frightened and fled the city. (This Image is Similar to the Image for Stopping the relatives from fighting.)
The posture of the Buddha is known as "Forbidding the Ocean." This amulet can be a special gift to show your loved one how much you care. A person born on Monday to worship the Buddha in this position is believed to be happy, lucky, peaceful, and prosperous.
