Visiting Wat Si Supharam (Wat Siri Srila Supharam) ~ LP Supa Kantasilo - Phuket - Thailand.

The temple is famous for being founded by Luang Pu Supa Kantasilo, a monk known for his spiritual practice and longevity (he passed away at 118 years old). He dedicated much of his life to Buddhism and built total of 38 temples around Thailand and Laos. Wat Si Supharam is the 'final temple built' by LP Supa and resided, this temple is really peaceful with charming surrounding. Wat Si Supharam is one of the beautiful temple in Phuket.

The magnificent view for the temple gate with 5 spires at top when you approach the temple.

Museum with Portrait of LP Supa, this Museum was built in year BE2544. Inside we could see the portrait and biography of LP Supa Kantasilo.

Enshrined the bronze statue of LP Supa Kantasilo in the center Museum with beautiful interior art.

LP Supa - Wat Si Supharam located at Phuket. He was born in year BE2438 in Nakhon Sawan province. He got ordained as novice when he was 9 years old. Then stay with LP Si and learnt wicha and dhamma from LP Si (magical wicha from Northeast Thailand). Finally when 20 years old and ordained as monk 'Tham PhuKhao Khwai' sacred temple cave in Laos. In year BE2463, LP Supa went to Chainat and learnt wicha and dhamma from LP Suk (Wat Pak Khlong Makham Thao). He also learnt Wicha and Dhamma from LP Mun. LP Supa is known for his sacred powers and his famous amulet, the Spider Mahalap, which is believed to bring prosperity, especially to merchants. He also possesses a magical crocodile said to protect against thieves. He has lived through five reigns of 5 Thai Kings and with very long life & monkhood, he passed away at 118 years old on september BE2556.

Luang Pu Supa Kantasilo, a highly respected revered monk by many Buddhists. Her Majesty the Queen, having heard of Luang Pu's reputation, presided over the ceremony to present the Hospital for sick monks' building, which Luang Pu Supa had collected and built with the help of devout Buddhists in Phuket province, as a place for sick monks seeking treatment at Vachira Phuket Hospital. On September 15, BE2539, Wat Si Supharam was bestowed an auspicious name by Her Majesty Queen Sirikit. It was probably the last temple founded by Luang Pu Supa. What's even more special is that it was the first temple that Luang Pu Supa served as abbot, making him the longest-serving abbot in Thailand. Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn presided over the Royal Kathina Ceremony at Wat Si Supharam on 26 October BE2548. As a special occasion, Buddhists in Phuket province came together to greet Her Royal Highness and enjoyed the merit-making ceremony with joyful hearts. The beautiful demeanor of Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn and the numerous Buddhists who came to greet her are a truly captivating sight and bring joy to all Phuket residents.

Luang Pu Supa Kantasilo made a vow to build as many Buddhist temples as he could. Luang Pu built 38 temples and monasteries in total. The first temples he built were mostly in rural Laos. Later, he built several in various districts of Sakon Nakhon province, his hometown. In Phuket province, Luang Pu Supa established four temples: Wat Koh Sire, Wat Samkong, Wat Khao Rang and Wat Si Supharam. Due to Luang Pu's compassion, devotees joined him in making merit whenever he considered building a religious site or permanent Buddhist structure. Wat Si Supharam is certainly a truly magnificent temple, thanks to the faith of its practitioners and followers, who share the same goal of successfully constructing Wat Si Supharam in accordance with Luang Pu's aspirations.

Luang Pu Supa Kantasilo had a vision of a group of seafarers people wandering the sea while meditating. With the intention of visiting these distant seafarers, he decided to travel to Phuket, with the seafarers as his greatest motivation. In BE2500 at the age of 60, he still in good health, Luang Pu Supa persuaded devout villagers and seafarers to help build Wat Koh Sire and later erect a reclining Buddha image on the mountain top. Realizing that the seafarers, or Thai Mai, were disadvantaged and had no religion, he encouraged them to convert to Buddhism. As a strategy for building faith in the seafarers, Luang Pu used Vipassana meditation and visions, which greatly built their faith. The bond between Luang Pu and the seafarers was strong. Even at the age of 112, he vowed to go out and collect alms for them. On August 16, BE2549, the sight of many seafarers making merit with Luang Pu included the first monk Luang Pu ordained at Wat Koh Sire. A young mother who had seen a vision of Luang Pu visiting her drowning in the tsunami that struck the seafarers village at Laem Tuk Kae brought her one-year-old child to pay respects to Luang Pu. She had prayed that no harm would come to her unborn child. The sight of a mother carrying a baby carrying hundreds of thousands of pounds of weight as she walked to pay respects to Luang Pu delighted those who witnessed the bond between Luang Pu and the seafarers at Koh Sire. This will likely become a legend for a long time to come

Phra Ajahn Sitat, who had predicted Luang Pu Supa's future when he was seven years old, taught him Vipassana meditation and ordained him as a monk under Novice Supa in BE2459. His pilgrimage under Phra Ajahn Sitat's care enabled Luang Pu Supa to make significant progress in controlling his emotions and mindfulness in the face of various dangers. In BE2463, Luang Pu Supa decided to go on a solo pilgrimage, traveling to many places in search of solitude, studying and gaining knowledge from many great monks of that era. One of them was Luang Pu Suk Kesaro of Wat Pak Khlong Makham Thao, Chainat province, who graciously imparted many branches of magical knowledge. Luang Pu Supa was a disciple of the same master as Prince of Chumphon Khet Udomsak, the son of King Chulalongkorn, Rama V. Because Luang Pu Suk was the one who bestowed all of his knowledge, at present, only one disciple of Luang Pu Suk is left. In addition, Luang Pu Supa also had the opportunity to study Dhamma with Luang Pu Man Phurithatto, the Dhamma commander of the highlands, a master teacher who was skilled in various kasina and samadhi. He taught Luang Pu Supa for three full years, and he successfully completed the prescribed course.
