A revered royal ecclesiastical advisor has passed away, leaving the Buddhist community in mourning. Pranee Intawaso was the advisor to the head of the 14th region and assistant abbot at Wat Rai Khing, a royal temple in Nakhon Pathom.

 

On October 7, Pranee Intawaso passed away peacefully at Sam Phran Hospital, Nakhon Pathom. The highly respected Buddhist monk, who had served the monastic order for 71 years, was the oldest monk at Wat Rai Khing. The temple announced the royal bathing ceremony for the 93 year old at the Royal Pavilion in Wat Rai Khing, in Sam Phran District, Nakhon Pathom.

 

The funeral procession took place yesterday. At noon, the body of Pranee was moved from the Sam Phran Hospital to the Royal Pavilion. At 2pm, monks, disciples, and Buddhist followers were allowed to pay their respects to the deceased monk.

 

The royal bathing ceremony is scheduled for today. At 1pm, monks, disciples, and Buddhist followers can pay their respects at the Royal Pavilion. At 5pm, the royal bathing ceremony for Pranee Intawaso will be presided over by the venerable Phutthajaray, the head of the eastern region and the committee of the Mahatherasamakom, Wat Traimitr Withayaram.

Did the Chinese Nazi party sponsor the funeral?

You are probably already aware of the symbol in reference to Buddhism.  However, just in case.

"The word “swastika” has Sanskrit roots and means “the mark of well being.” It has been used in prayers of the Rig Veda, the oldest of Hindu scriptures. In Buddhism, the symbol is known as “manji” and signifies the Buddha's footsteps. It is used to mark the location of Buddhist temples."

Wonder how much he has accumulated in his personal bank account in 71 years of begging.

Note that the symbol is reversed compared to the symbol of the National Socialist Party.

Buddhist monks do not 'beg'. They perform an early morming walk around their local community thus allowing followers of the religion to gain merit through donations.

Rubbish. Ive had monks begging at my door for 'donations'. They once got 6,000 baht, over 24 years ago, for a new wall. I said not to bother coming round again. They've kept there side of the bargain!

The symbol was used by the Nazi bunch for their own purpose. 

For those who do not know the history, I would suggest that you google it and

become more educated.  The Nazis were thieves and this symbol was not the only thing that they stole from others.

  Just saying!
