Revisited (BE2567) ~ Wat Prasart Boonyawas ~ The Place LP Thuad Pilgrimage & Practiced Meditation In The Past ~ Bangkok - Thailand.

Wat Prasart Boonyawas was established around 1833 (BE2376) with originally named Wat Khlong Samsaen because it was near Khlong Samsaen. Later, the name was changed to Wat Khwit because there was a large Makhit tree near the monastery and changed the name again to "Wat Prasart Boonyawas" around 1944 (BE2487). In year 1955 (BE2498) there was a large fire conflagration. That fire lost the monastery until the temple was almost dissolved. At that time, Phra Ajahn Tim (Tim Thammatharo), the abbot of Wat ChangHai RatBuranaram, had a dream that Luang Pu Thuad asked him come and help renovate this temple. Because during the Ayutthaya period, Luang Pu Thuad often came to settle in this area before went to Ayutthaya. After this dream, Phra Ajahn Tim brought the mould and ingredients for making the Luang Pu Thuad amulet came to Wat Prasart Boonyawas. Therefore, it was the beginning of the creation of the sacred objects of Luang Pu Thuad of Wat Prasart Boonyawas, which generated so much fund for the temple that it was able to successfully rebuilt a new Ubosot and other pavillion for Wat Prasart Boonyawas. ***see my previous post for more info monks participated for this batch ceremony amulets.
