:folded_hands: Faith and Beliefs in “Luang Pu Tai Hong” (Tai Hong Kong)

The faith and reverence for “Luang Pu Tai Hong” (Tai Hong Kong) have been deeply rooted in the hearts of Chinese and Thai-Chinese people for centuries. He was a revered Chinese Buddhist monk during the Song Dynasty who dedicated his life to helping the poor and helpless. His noble deeds eventually became the origin and inspiration behind the “Poh Teck Tung Foundation.”

Here are the core beliefs held by worshippers who come to pay respect to him:

  1. The Deity of Compassion and Protection :shield:

2. Great Merits from “Coffin Donations” (Tham Bun Long Sop) :coffin:

3. The Symbolism of the “White Jade” (Pure and Ultimate Blessings) :glowing_star:

4. “The More You Give, The More You Receive” (The Law of Karmic Return) :counterclockwise_arrows_button:

If you’re looking for a place to make merit, boost your luck, or snap stunning photos in a modern Chinese style, this is the place to be! The Tai Hong Kong White Jade Shrine (In Commemoration of the 72nd Birthday Anniversary), under the Poh Teck Tung Foundation, is located in the Sathon-Charoen Krung area.
