The flag

Rittipong Techapan, the Chiang Mai Deputy Governor, said that the Sangha Supreme Council agreed to the design of the Sambuddha Jayanthi Celebration flag, which was proposed by Office of National Buddhism and Chulalongkorn University. The flag will be used to decorate government buildings and temples.

The peepul leaf (Bodhi leaf) on the flag is symbolic of the enlightenment of the Buddha. The green color of the leaf means the growth of Buddhism. The wheel in the middle refers to the Buddha’s teaching. The Thai pattern on the leaf signifies the Kingdom of Thailand which has prospered because of the Buddha’s teaching.

Rittipong invited everyone to join the celebration of 2600^th year of Sambuddha Jayanthi between 29^th May – 4^th June 2012 by going to the temple and making merit. There will be a procession on 3^rd June 2012 at 7:00 p.m. from Chiang Mai Buddhist Place (Buddhasathan) to Phra Singh Temple and then on to Phan On temple.

At Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep on June 3rd, there will be ritual activities at 7 p.m. while on 4^th June  at 7:00 p.m., there will ritual activities for Visakabucha Day (wian tien – ceremonial walk around the temple) at 4 temples in Chiang Mai: Phra Singh Temple, Srisoda Temple, Phrathat Doi Suthep temple, and Chedi Luang Varavihara temple.
