On January 16th, 2012
 
Bang Phai Temple in Bang Buathong district – Khlongkhwang Temple in Sai Noi district (distance: 25.5 km)

 In the morning of January 16th, 2012, the dhutanga monks left Bang Phai Temple in Bang Buathong at 8:30 am and walked along the Road No. 9

 

Congregations waited to welcome the monks

Congregations came to welcome the monks crowdedly

We have done it over 50%

The employees of gas station welcomed the monks happily

The monks walked past Bang Yai City Department Store

All motorcycle taxi drivers came to welcome the monks together

Although the weather on that day was sunny but the monks did not mind

These beautiful girls came from Phang district in Chiang Mai province

They sat orderly and beautifully

Making the big merit after facing the flood disaster

The monks did not mind both the sunny weather and the long distance

Beauty of the rose way

For the big merit, I don’t mind any obstacles

For the big merit, I don’t mind the strong sunlight

Every step was the Crystal Footprint

The Dhammachai Dhutanga Procession...to pioneer the Great Master’s Paths

The Dhammachai Dhutanga Monks who pioneered the Great Master’s Paths, removed dangers and troubles, and made the big merit to Thailand

“Samanananca dassanam; etam mangalamuttamam”
Meeting the monks is one of the highest blessings

“Samanananca dassanam; etam mangalamuttamam”
Meeting the monks is one of the highest blessings

 

 Cleaning with the clear and bright mind

These are V-Mat.  They were the volunteers who laid the mats for the monks to walk on

V-Mat…V-Mat…V-Mat

Meeting the monks is one of the highest blessings

 

 The monks reached the stop-over point, Khlongkhwang Temple, at 17:30 p.m.

Rejoice in your merit of paving the rose petals to welcome the monks in this occasion
