Next we come to another famous temple in
Pattalung, Wat
Donsala. LP
Yiad, the master of LP Kong (Wat
Bansuan) came from this temple. He is also very well versed in the
Puttakom arts. LP
Yiad passed away in 2491 BE (1948) at the age of 66. He was succeeded by
Ajarn Nam, who passed away in 2520 BE (1970) at the age of 85. Above is the main
Sala of this temple.
The altar inside the
Sala. Besides the 8 great disciples flanking the Buddha statue, they also have
portraits of the King & Queen of Thailand.
A tall
portrait to
Ajarn Si
Ngern (I think), who took over from
Ajarn Nam as abbot after the latter died. He also created many well-known amulets.
Outside the
Sala is another altar with 6 Buddha statues in front & back positions.
The Bot is closed as usual.
This
wiharn venerates all the famous monks of this temple. When there's consecration
cermonies going on, all of them are invited back with the
Saisin (holy thread). That's all for the pics here at
Donsala. There was also nothing much to get there, except for more affordable
Jatukam amulets which I passed. Unfortunately one can't find those antique amulets of LP
Yiad,
Ajarn Nam or even
Ajarn Si
Ngern. What a waste.
