[Efficacy of Sacred Objects]
The Buddha is primarily believed to ward off evil, protect from danger, enhance power, and ensure safety. Some even believe that the Buddha is the founder of Buddhism, so using this Buddha amulet is more effective than other Buddha amulets. It is suitable for anyone to wear or use.
[Introduction to the Sacred Relic]
Luang Pho To is the world's largest Buddha statue in the gesture of holding a begging bowl.
The original structure was 32 meters tall and is one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Thailand.
During the reign of King Rama V, Ajahn Toh planned to build a large Buddha statue at Wat Luang Phor Toh. Although the statue was eventually completed, Ajahn Toh passed away before its completion, and Luang Phor Poo took over the construction. After 60 years of fundraising and construction, the statue was finally completed during the reign of King Rama VII. It is the very famous Luang Phor Toh Buddha, hence Wat Luang Phor Toh is also known as Wat Luang Phor Toh.
Wat Intharawihan (Phra Buddha Sri Ariyamettriya) is a large standing Buddha statue holding a bowl, 32 meters tall, built in 1867 during the reign of King Mongkut by Somdet Phra Buddhacarya (To Brahmarangsi). However, he died while construction was underway at the navel area, and work was halted. Construction continued until its completion in 1924 during the reign of King Prajadipala. The first three-day celebration was held from March 4th to 6th, 1928. Later, relics of the Buddha were enshrined on his hair, thus becoming the Buddha's relics. In 1980, the Sri Lankan government bestowed upon it a special status.
