Chetiyakireewihan Temple or Phu Tok

Wat Chetiyakireewihan or Phu Tok was established in 1940 by Phra Ajahn Juan Kulchettho who came to practice meditation at Phu Wua, Seka District, Nong Khai Province. One night, he had a vision of two beautiful castles on the Phu Tok Noi side. Phra Ajahn Juan Kulchettho therefore traveled to verify the vision and found the beautiful and shady terrain suitable for practicing meditation. He surveyed and set up camp in a cave on Phu Tok with Phra Khru Srithammawat. Later, the villagers of Kham Kaen saw Phra Ajahn Juan Thudongph staying at Phu Tok, so they unanimously asked him to build a temple at Phu Tok. In 1969, the villagers of Na Kham Kaen helped build stairs up to Phu Tok, up to the 5th and 6th levels. They built the residences for the monks for 2 months and 10 days before it was completed in 1970–1971. Phra Ajahn Juan Kulchettho invited the villagers Two dams were built to store water and organize a water supply system within Phu Thok Temple. #Phu Thok Temple #Chetiyakiree Temple
