The Secret Thai Buddhist Temple deep in the Jungle – Part 1

I’m very pleased to be back blogging with the Buddha’s Face blog and to announce our latest exclusive You Tube video.

This HD footage was filmed on a recent visit to Thailand with my wife. One of her nieces who lives in Hat Yai, Southern Thailand had heard from a local papaya salad seller of a beautiful and almost secret temple deep in the Thai jungle near to the famous water fall and beauty spot of on Ton Nga Chang (which is about 23km from Songkhla) who performed a unique water blessing which shortly after having had this done found her life improved considerably.

The name of the water fall means Ivory Tusk Falls. This is the largest and most beautiful waterfall in Songkhla province. Ton Nga Chang waterfall cascades down seven tiers in the area of the national park zone and in the third tier of the falls , the waters cascade down like a pair of ivory tusks and that is how it got its name, “Ton Nga Chang” means “Ivory Tusk Falls”.

The music is by Lisa Gerrard and I have added what I hope are appropriate quotes from the Buddha as an accompaniment.

I’ll describe the temple in more detail and the effect that it had on us all in Part 2 to follow shortly.

"This existence of ours is as transient as Autumn clouds. To watch the birth and death of beings is like looking at the movements of a dance. A lifetime is a flash of lightning in the sky. Rushing by, like a torrent down a steep mountain." Buddha

  1. Semua Ahli-ahli MCA Malaysia yang dihormati,

    Segelintir pemimpin MCA seperti YIP KUM FOOK (lawyer, MCA Gombak) dan Yip Jiun Hann(pemuda MCA Gombak) perangainya sendiri pun tidak bermoral dan nama pun sangat busuk di Selangor. Khas nya di Kepong, Selayang, Rawang dan lain tempat, seperti makan wang SAMNAK SAMBODHI, DESA JAYA, KEPONG, merosakkan keluarga orang lain……..perangai sebegitu jahat.

    Mereka cuba suruh kita menyokong Donald lim Siang Chai, sekira kumpulan ini bermenang dalam parti MCA, saya yakin parti MCA akan tenggelam selama-lama di Malaysia

    Jangan kena jerat, sokong lah Saudara Dr Wee Ka Siong

    SAMNAK SAMBODHI COMMITTEES

  2. The largest rebel to Buddhist and Hindu in Malaysia who is YIP KUM FOOK and he is a lawyer in Taman Desa Jaya, Kepong, maybe his lawyer is fake certificate because he is not like someone who studied law. Lawyers must be at least 6 years to study, but we're the same age, but we've never seen him take that class because of YIP KUM FOOK is busy with a furniture store business in Kepong area

    He ordered the people to burn the Hindu Temple in Taman Daya, Kepong because at that time he was the MCA chairman in Taman Daya and he had power there, the other because he needed a place to set up his furniture shop business

    In Buddhism, he was the president of SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST TEMPLE in Taman Desa Jaya, Kepong in 1994, before the president of the temple was SHIA KOK SUN, YIP KUM FOOK this joined the committee members then he rejected SHIA KOK SUN, then he took over as president

    Happened at the SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST TEMPLE, from him taking over the presidential temple, was never peaceful and always a problem because he was a trouble maker, pushing the old committee and various making a mess in the Temple

    Instead, he defrauded a Myanmar monk (ven. Nandiya) of about rm20,000.00, called police and gangster to remove the Buddhist monk, a monk is from Penang (Ven. Piya Dhammo), and ordered his group to lock down the temple

    YIP KUM FOOK will receive his Karma in what he does, all the GODS have seen and always commented on him and he will suffer forever in this life and the next life… all need to care about YIP KUM FOOK…
