The Buddha of Water Wealth is pronounced as Bird Bago in Burmese Pali, and Ubaku in Thai Pali, so it is called "Vinner Ubaku " . There is another name called " Paphod Qian " , and in Burma, he is also often called " Papuntou " . However, in recent years, except for the Dishui God of Fortune in northern Thailand, few Buddhist temples or eminent monks have supervised the construction of this Buddha statue in other regions.

The Water Wealth Buddha is a super wealthy Buddha. In ancient Thailand, Burma and East Cambodia, Ubaku was well known as a lucky buddha .

Venerable Ubaku wore a lotus hat, because Venerable Ubaku practiced at the bottom of the sea, known as the " Lotus Buddha ". When Buddhist temples worship Venerable Ubaku, they will offer a pool of water under the statue of Venerable Venerable. Therefore, Ubaku is also known as the " Buddha of Wealth in the Water " , which is a very special and legendary Buddha for wealth.

History of Venerable Ubaku

About two hundred years after the extinction of Sakyamuni, it came from a wealthy businessman's family in the village of Madura, India. With three boys in the family, Ubaku is the youngest. Ubaku became a monk because his father had promised a master that if he had a son, he would make his son a monk, and the two brothers in the family were unwilling to become a monk, so he had to hand over the responsibility to the younger son. . At first, Ubaku was reluctant to accept his father's request, and just wanted to be an ordinary business at home.

One day, my father asked Ubaku to take care of the shop, and the business was surprisingly good that day. It was Ubaku's natural good fortune that made the family's business prosper. On the same day, the master who had an appointment with my father many years ago also came to the shop. I visited and told Ubaku some stories of Buddhist scriptures. Ubaku listened very deeply. When the master saw that Ubaku had a Buddha affinity, he mentioned the agreement. On this day, Ubaku decided to become a monk. .

After Ubaku became a monk, he has been diligently studying Buddhist scriptures. Later, he even became a teacher specializing in Buddhist scriptures. He had as many as 18,000 disciples , and was the teacher with the most disciples at that time. Later, Ubaku's magic power was high, and the spells of type-shifting phantoms were unpredictable, and he had the ability to go wherever he wanted. Because of this, Ubaku became the first Buddhist disciple who could perform many magical spells. In addition to freedom The ability to come and go , he can sit on the water, he can stop animals or delay time, etc.

The Legend of Venerable Ubaku

Legend has it that in the 218th year of the Buddhist calendar , King Ashoka summoned all monks from all over the world for the third Buddhist assembly. At that time, King Ashoka was preparing to build 84,000 pagodas, and the entire construction process took seven years, seven months and seven days. Because of the time it took, many eminent monks and gods were afraid to guard the puja. In the end, they worked together to recommend Venerable Ubaku. But Ubaku was practicing in the water at the time, so they went to blow up the bottom of the sea and invited Ubaku to help King Ashoka build a stupa. When Ubaku heard about this, he agreed immediately.

It was during that prayer meeting that an evil dragon appeared, calling for wind and rain, trying to destroy this great meeting. When everyone was in a panic, Ubaku turned into a dog corpse and hung on the neck of the dragon. Ubaku knew that the dragon's nature was hard to change, so he tore off a piece of holy cloth from his body and tied the dragon under a certain mountain. After seven years, seven months and seven days, Ubaku did not let go of the dragon until all the pagodas were completed.

There is a story in an ancient Thai book: It is said that in ancient times, a believer in Myanmar became a very rich man after offering food to the Venerable Ubaku. Therefore, the believers at that time would get up early to cook on Wednesdays and worship the Venerable Mabaku.
