— Luangpu’s birth place. 9 January 2016.
Lotus Land, Suphanburi, Home of the Memorial Hall of Phramongkolthepmuni
Luangpu Wat Paknam was born in 1884 in the Songpinong District of Suphanburi Province on a land uniquely resembling two lotus buds—thus the name ‘Lotus Land’, as it is known. Lotus Land is approximately eight acres in size, surrounded by water. It sits opposite of Wat Songpinong where Luangpu began his elementary education at the age of nine. The Memorial Hall was built on this land. It has the feature of an octagonal mountain of gold and contains the chronicles of Luangpu’s pursuit of Perfections from youth until the final periods of his life. A solid gold statue of Luangpu is enshrined inside at the center of the Memorial Hall where laypeople can come to pay respect and be inspired by his remarkable virtues.
