Project 7 - Temple Building - Buddha Statue Adoption - Wat Phra Yayang in Pathum Thani - IN PROGRESS



Wat Phra Yayang currently uses a site loaned to them by a devotee. The temple has managed to raise funds to buy land for a permanent site but they have little left to build facilities. A few structures have been built but the main viharn to this day is just a few pilings jutting out from the ground.

To raise funds for a Viharn to house the main Buddha, 599 Phra Chinnaraj (12cm x 4cm x 7.5cm H) will be cast and made available for adoption at S$288 each. The buchas will be housed permanently in the main hall of the new temple.

Each donor will have their name and date of birth laser marked on a tag on the bucha they adopted. Another plaque with all the donors' names will be placed with the main Phra Chinnaraj.

Things required for the “Buddha Statue Adoption” ritual for life:
Full name
Date of Birth
S$288
Bucha available for adoption - 450 pcs as of 30-Nov-2015

The "Buddha Statue Adoption" ritual will help to improve your destiny, and in turn allow you to bless many other sentient beings in the world.

The act of contributing towards building temple is also a highly virtuous and meritorious deed which will bring immensely great and wonderful Karma into your own life and we hope you partake of this wonderful act of merit.

"Whether in village or in forest, in vale or in hill, wherever Arahants dwell, delightful indeed is that spot." - Dhammapada 98


Donation certificate will be presented for every bucha adopted
