Phra Phrom

In Thailand, it seems that every place will enshrine the four-faced Buddha, and this four-faced Buddha in Phuket is said to be the most effective in Thailand. The Erawan Buddha is the "Great Brahma King", one of the three gods of Brahmanism in India, the god who created the heaven and the earth, and the father of all living beings. The Great Brahma has four faces, eight ears, eight arms, and eight hands, and what each hand holds has its own meaning: one holds a command flag; the other holds a Buddhist scripture (representing wisdom); the other holds a conch (representing blessing); The paddle wheel (representing the subduing of demons and destroying afflictions); one holding the pole of power (representing supreme achievement); the other holding the water bottle (representing thirst quenching and responding to requests); the other holding the rosary (representing reincarnation); the other holding the chest mudra (representing blessing). The reason why the four-faced Buddha has four sides is that it represents the four Brahman hearts of compassion, compassion, joy, and equanimity, and it also symbolizes the four upright characters of compassion, benevolence, fraternity, and justice. Whether you are looking for career, love, wealth, or peace, you can take care of people and living beings in the east, west, north and south. It is said that the Erawan Buddha is very effective and responds to requests, so there is an endless stream of pilgrims. The fire on the altar is bright, the incense table is covered with green smoke, and the strings of flowers are piled up like mountains.
