In Thailand, it seems that every place will enshrine the four-faced Buddha, and this four-faced Buddha in Phuket is said to be the most effective in Thailand. The Erawan Buddha is the "Great Brahma King", one of the three gods of Brahmanism in India, the god who created the heaven and the earth, and the father of all living beings. The Great Brahma has four faces, eight ears, eight arms, and eight hands, and what each hand holds has its own meaning: one holds a command flag; the other holds a Buddhist scripture (representing wisdom); the other holds a conch (representing blessing); The paddle wheel (representing the subduing of demons and destroying afflictions); one holding the pole of power (representing supreme achievement); the other holding the water bottle (representing thirst quenching and responding to requests); the other holding the rosary (representing reincarnation); the other holding the chest mudra (representing blessing). The reason why the four-faced Buddha has four sides is that it represents the four Brahman hearts of compassion, compassion, joy, and equanimity, and it also symbolizes the four upright characters of compassion, benevolence, fraternity, and justice. Whether you are looking for career, love, wealth, or peace, you can take care of people and living beings in the east, west, north and south. It is said that the Erawan Buddha is very effective and responds to requests, so there is an endless stream of pilgrims. The fire on the altar is bright, the incense table is covered with green smoke, and the strings of flowers are piled up like mountains.
A place where the incense is really hot, with 25 baht, 50 baht and 80 baht packages, I bought a 25, a few incense, a candle, and four strings of flowers. Take the child to worship, bless, the child hangs every string of flowers on each side of the Buddha railing, there is a utensil of water next to it, many people wash their hands with water, the baby also washed, although I don't know what it is.
Visiting the fairy peninsula, you will not miss this Erawan Buddha, on the lighthouse platform. Although Bangkok's Erawan Buddha is more incense, it does not hinder Phuket's title of the most spiritual Erawan Buddha in Thailand. There are also many people who visit here.
Thailand is a Buddhist country, with temples in Bangkok and Chiang Mai, while Phuket is famous for only one temple and a four-faced Buddha, which is on the fairy peninsula, on a small scale.
It is a holy place of Phuket, a place of worship for Phuket people, tourists can come here to worship because it is a holy place for Phuket people.
Promthep Cape is about 2 kilometers from Rawai Beach, is the southernmost cape of Phuket. It is the location of the Kanchanaphisek Lighthouse. And is a beautiful sunset viewpoint But the day I went, there was a smog from neighboring countries to disturb. Therefore can't watch the sunset
四面佛,就矗立在神仙半岛的一个小高地上,与九世泰皇纪念塔比邻而居。四面佛原名“大梵天王”为印度婆罗门教三大神之一,有四面的原因是因为四面佛公正不阿,具有慈、悲、喜、舍之四梵心,无论“求事业”、祈爱情”、“盼发财”、“保平安”,皆能照顾到东西南北四方之世人及生灵。 据称这尊四面神极为“灵验”,有求必应,因此朝拜者很多,我们去的时候就有遇到虔诚的泰国香客。
四面佛在泰国被称为有求必应佛。它四面尊容,分别代表爱情、事业、健康与财运,据说能掌管人间的一切事务,也被称之为能创造世界的佛祖。因此,四面佛在泰国属香火最旺的佛像之一。每天从世界各地前来的朝拜许愿者成群结队,络绎不绝。
