Sivali |
Sivali is
worshiped by Thai people as the greatest fortune-fetching monk. Sivali was an
important disciple of Lord Buddha. He was praised by the Lord as the most miraculous monk
for fortune. Buddhist legend says the Lord and his large group of diciples made a pilgrimage to a jungle for meditation practices.There were no people but gods and the unseen creatures existed along the way they went by.The deep jungle really caused troubles, no people offered food to Lord Buddha and all his disciple monks. How and where could they get food from? Had they anything to eat ? The Lord's closest disciple, Anondha, was strongly worried about that. But the Lord soothed him to worrynothing because Sivali, who had also joined the pilgrimage group, could help bring food for everyone by his great miraculous power.That's true,all gods and unseen creatures in the jungle gathered to pay respect to Sivali and brought a great deal of food for all . Small
Sivali bronze statues have been widely made carrying the meditation umbrella tent. Sivali
charms have also been made by Buddhist guru monks using various materials, such as holy-powder
plaster,ivory tusk, wood etc. |
