On July 30, 2026, marking the occasion of Buddhist Lent (Vassa 2026), Attorney Arm Supasit Siri, together with Police Major General chatpunthakarn_klaiklueng (Commander Jae of the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau), performed religious merits by presenting Buddhist Lent candles and lotus flower trays to uphold Buddhist traditions and invoke good fortune at Wat Bang Phli Yai Nai Royal Temple, Samut Prakan Province.
During the visit, they paid homage to Most Venerable Phra Thep Samut Wacharachan, Abbot of Wat Bang Phli Yai Nai and Ecclesiastical Provincial Governor of Samut Prakan, receiving holy blessings and holy water sprinkling for divine auspiciousness.
Following the ceremony at Wat Bang Phli Yai Nai Royal Temple, Attorney Arm and his delegation proceeded to Wat Hong Rattanaram Ratchaworawihan to present Buddhist Lent candles and lotus flower trays to Venerable Phra Thamma Wachiramethi (Chao Khun Meechai), Abbot of Wat Hong Rattanaram Ratchaworawihan.
As the day also coincided with Venerable Chao Khun Meechai’s birthday, it presented an exceptionally auspicious opportunity to pay homage to and receive blessings from the revered senior monk, who is widely held in high esteem by devout Buddhists.
The presentation of Lent candles during Vassa (Buddhist Lent) is a long-standing and significant tradition among Buddhists, symbolizing the light of wisdom and offering support to monks residing at temples throughout the three-month rain retreat. Furthermore, the offering of lotus flower trays serves as an emblem of purity, prosperity, and auspiciousness. Devotees thus make these pious offerings to bring merit, blessing, and good fortune to themselves, their families, and their journeys through life.
Participation in these activities underscores a strong commitment to supporting Buddhism and preserving Thailand’s cherished cultural traditions. Furthermore, it marks a highly auspicious start to the second half of the year—bringing spiritual encouragement, divine blessings, and renewed purpose to personal and professional endeavors, while reaffirming a dedication to righteousness and social contribution.
