The Bodhi tree was originally called ‘Assattha’. Until the Buddha became enlightened under this tree, Assattha was renamed “Bodhi”. The term “Sri Maha Bodhi Tree” is used to refer to the Bodhi tree where Prince Siddhattha sat and practiced to become enlightened as the Buddha. According to the records, the Sri Maha Bodhi tree is located on the bank of the Neranjara River in Uruvela Senanikom Subdistrict, Bodh Gaya City, which is about 3,000 kilometers away from Thailand. However, in Thailand, many places refer to the Bodhi tree as the Sri Maha Bodhi tree. The Sri Maha Bodhi Tree at Wat Phra Sri Mahathat, Bang Khen, has 2 trees. It is believed that they were planted during the time of Prime Minister Field Marshal P. Phibunsongkhram and another tree by His Excellency U Nu, Prime Minister of Burma in 1955.

During the Songkran Festival, why is it necessary to bring sand into the temple? 🤔 It is assumed that the reason for bringing sand into the temple is that in ancient times, Thai people would walk around barefoot. When entering a temple, in the past, temples would pour sand for monks to walk and meditate, which is a tradition from Sri Lanka. Buddhists who entered the temple might accidentally step on it and have grains of sand stick to their feet. Therefore, during the Songkran Festival, sand is brought to offer to the temple so that they do not become indebted to the monks by taking something from the monks (i.e. sand) with them unintentionally. Will there be another sand pile this year?

Wat Phra Sri Mahathat was granted permission to be a monastery on 20 March 1941 and became a first-class royal temple, Woramahawihan type, on 30 June 1942.[1] It was built during the time when Field Marshal Plaek Phibunsongkhram was the Prime Minister. He proposed to the Cabinet to build a temple near the Monument to Protect the Constitution to commemorate the democratic regime and scheduled for completion in time for National Day, which was 24 June 1941. The Cabinet resolved to build a temple and named it Wat Prachathipatai. During the construction, Rear Admiral Thawan Thamrongnawasawat (at the time he was the rank of Captain Luang Thamrongnawasawat) traveled to India to request the relics of the Lord Buddha, including 5 branches of the Bodhi tree from the tree that was inherited from the tree where the Lord Buddha resided and attained enlightenment, along with soil from the pilgrimage sites, namely the place of birth, enlightenment, the place of the first sermon, and the place of nirvana. The government invited the relics of the Lord Buddha. The Bodhi tree branches and the soil were enshrined in the temple under construction. The temple was named Wat Phra Sri Mahathat and was dedicated as a residence on June 24, 1942.

Phibunsongkhram, who at that time held the rank and title of Major General Luang Phibunsongkhram and was the Prime Minister, proposed to the Cabinet meeting to approve the budget to build a temple as a memorial to the democratic regime and intended to complete it in time for National Day, which was June 24, 1941. The location to be built should be near the Monument to Protect the Constitution. He reasoned that the nation and religion are inseparable, and the principles of Buddhism are consistent with democratic regimes.
