The Magical still remains with the esteemed monk even until his death.
Phra Duan, a native of Songkhla Province who became a monk since the age of 21 due to his failing in policeman’s test. It seems like the destiny set him to be a monk. He went to practice meditation in a cave in Phatthalung for two years, then he traveled around making merit.
In 1959, he started building Wareehaphot temple where he remained doing good deeds until his death and the magical thing happen to this temple as well.
After his death on October 17, and the day of his cremation was November 8. The ceremony was crowded with many faithful people who love and respect Phra Duan. AT 9 pm, Phra Duan was brought out and laid on the pyre but something strange happened because the flame cannot do anything with his body.
After a half of hour, the body was not unblemished by the heat. Since with the miracle, the police and the volunteer have to work harder to prevent the crowd to get into the monk’s body to get the get the piece of his body to do amulet or whatever things according to their beliefs. But still the volunteers carried his body for the entire crowd to see this miracle. Finally they decide no to bury the body but keep the body in the glass coffin instead for people to come see and pay respect and to show this miracle for the whole world to see.
It was no more a funeral because it seems no tears from the eyes of crowded or sad feeling expressions but they were replaced by the astonishing feeling expressions instead.
Actually this is not really the first time that happened in Thailand. It seems like the flame can’t do anything to the body of esteemed monks. We can just only guess that is because of the all good deeds that all esteemed monks did before they died remain them in the same conditions in order to let others to come respect and it shows that even the death took them away from the earth but their miracle still remain for the people even they death already.
I have to say that this kind of thing reflects a lot to the people’s feeling and then it makes people have more respect on the good deeds in each person do when they lived.
