Chiang Mai Wat Phuttha En Mae Chaem Spring Water
Wat Phuttha En Mae Chaem Spring Water http://www.hotsia.com > Chiang Mai > Wat Phuttha En Mae Chaem Spring Water Sacred spring water at Wat Phuttha En. Wat Phuttha En, also known as Wat Phuttha En, is located in Chang Khing Subdistrict, Mae Chaem District. Its former name was Wat Srisutthawas Enmongkut. The highlight inside this temple is the ordination hall built in the middle of a pond, known as Uthok Sima, constructed during the early Rattanakosin period. Here, I saw locals lining up to collect water from the sacred spring at Wat Phuttha En.
People come early in the morning by the carload. I read a legend that during the Buddha's time, the Buddha passed through this area to teach sentient beings and rested at Don Sakan, located east of the current temple. He called for Ananda, his attendant, to bring water to drink. After drinking, the Buddha spat water onto the spot that is now the spring. This spring water bubbles up from underground and flows continuously, no matter how severe the drought.
Later, two monks, Phra Thivitwangso and Phra Chomphuvitayo, passed through and collaborated with local villagers to build the temple at the site of the spring. Importantly, the water from this sacred spring never runs dry, even during droughts. It's truly remarkable. Anyone visiting Mae Chaem should visit Wat Phuttha En. It's easy to find; just ask the locals in Mae Chaem—they all know. Sacred spring water at Wat Phuttha En, in front of the temple.
