Preventing Relatives from Fighting Posture.
Once there was a great shortage of water in the small river that ran between 2 small Kingdoms.
The people in the Kingdoms were both relatives of the Lord Buddha.
But they were going to fight over the water. The Lord Buddha knew that if he did not prevent them,
there was going to be great bloodshed. So he came and wiseley asked "Which means more to you,
water or relatives?"
The Lord Buddha's question made the people realize that if is foolish to be fighting over the water.
พระพุทธประธาน พระพุทธอัฏฐารส พระพุทธรูปปางห้างญาติ
ครั้งหนึ่งในสมัยพุทธกาล มีการขาดน้ำอย่างแรงใน แม่น้ำเล็กๆ ซึ่งอยู่ระหว่าง ราชอาณาจักรเล็กๆ 2
ราชอาณาจักร ประชาชนในราชอาณาจักรทั้ง 2 เป็นพระญาติของพระสัมมาสัมพุทธเจ้า แต่ประชาชน
เหล่านั้นกำลังจะสู้รบแย่งน้ำกัน พระสัมมาสัมพุทธเจ้าทรงทราบว่า ถ้าพระองค์ไม่เสด็จมาป้องกัน
ประชาชนเหล่านั้นก็จะหลั่งเลือดเป็นอันมาก ดังนั้นพระผู้มีพระภาคเจ้าจึงเสด็จมา ทรงถามเข่าเหล่านั้น
ด้วยพระมหาปัญญาธิคุณ "อะไรสำคัญกว่า น้ำหรือความเป็นญาติ" คำถามของพระพุทธองค์ ทำให้
ประชาชนเหล่านั้นตระหนักว่า เป็นการโง่เขลาที่มาจะต่อสู้เรื่องน้ำ พระพุทธดำรัสของพระผู้มีพระภาคเจ้า
และการที่พระผู้มีพระภาคยกพระหัตถ์ขาวขึ้น ไม่เพียงแต่ป้องกันมิให้พระญาติสู้รบกัน แต่ยังหมายถึง
สันติภาพสู่โลก
Phra That Cedi Luang was constucted in 1491 by King Saen Muang Ma of Lanna (ruled 1388-1401)
and finished in the next reign by his Queen.
In 1481 King Tilokarat enlarged the stupa to the size of 56 by 56 metres in widthe and 80 metres in height. It has been the largest stupa of the Lanna since them. The Stupa has 4 niches, one at each
direction. Each niched housed a Buddha image in miediation gesture, exept the eastern niched enshrined the Emerald Buddha
(noew at the Royal Palace in Bangkok) between A.D. 1468 to 1537.
In 1545 during the reign of Queen Chira Prapha of Magrai Degnasty, after long and very happy rain
and an earthquake the Stupa collapsed as it is seen today.
In the eastern niched where the Emerald Buddha used to be placed is now the Jade Buddha image name by His Majesty the King, Phra Phuttha Celermsirirat.
