This amulet of Phra Ham Yath (the Monday Buddha) is released from Wat Phra Pathommachedi Ratcha Wora Maha Wihan, a temple in the town center of Nakhon Pathom Province. Phra Pathom Chedi, meaning the 'First Stupa,' is 50 km west of Bangkok. Nakhon Pathom Province is Thailand's oldest place of worship. It was built in the days of King Asoka, who sent missionaries to propagate the Buddhist faith in this part. Archaeological scholars unanimously agree that Monk Sonathera and Monk Utrathera, the ministers, first made Nakhon Pathom their base of religious propagation around the 3rd Buddhist century. 

Initially, the pagoda was built as an Indian-style stupa shaped like an upside-down bowl. Subsequently, its form was changed by restorations. Approaching the site from the North Gate leads to a marble staircase, a massive, standing golden Buddha known as Phra Ruang Rojanaridhi - Phra Ham Yath (Buddha image for Monday), the day of making peace. Buddha images represent moments in the Buddha's life. Thai people always respect their particular Buddha images that match their days of birth.

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. Buddha accepted the invitation, and the Bhikkhus in the Buddha 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.

Humans (This Image is Similar to the Image for 'Stopping the relatives from fighting.) 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. The posture of the Buddha is known as "Forbidding the Ocean." A person born on Monday to worship the Buddha in this position is believed to be happy, lucky, peaceful, and prosperous.
