Supreme Patriarch honoured

The Supreme Patriarch’s Secretary Office will distribute Khum Phai amulets to police and military officers in the deep South on October 25 at Santi Worakhun Temple in Songkhla’s Sadao district to lift their spirits.
At Bovornniwet Temple, Privy Councillor Ampol Senanarong, on behalf of Their Majesties, passed the flower vase for the Supreme Patriarch to Somdet Phra Wanrat.
Then 19 senior monks recited prayers while a merit-making ceremony to offer food and other necessities to 499 monks was held at Wachirayanawong Building.
Another robe-offering ceremony was held at the temple’s hall at 3pm to procure medical equipment and supplies for Paholpolpayuhasena Hospital in Kanchanaburi for the Patriarch’s merit.
In the temple compound, well-wishers wrote messages for the Patriarch’s birthday at the Supreme Patriarch’s Secretary Office and the Tamnak Phetch Pavilion. They received sacred amulets as souvenirs.
A Siriraj Hospital medical team set up a booth offering free health check-ups for the public at Wat Bovornniwet School near the temporary almshouse.
The Supreme Patriarch, who is undergoing treatment at Chulalongkorn Hospital, went alms collecting in the hospital in the morning for the occasion. At 4pm, he granted an audience to the public through a sterile room.
