On 20-21 Nov 2004, Pra Achan Phusit (Chan)
had taken the disciples to present robes to monks at Wat Pa
Tham Phu Toei Forest Monastery, located at Chalae Sub-district,
Thongphaphum District, Kanchanaburi Province.
Brief history : In
1985, Pra Achan Phusit (Chan) Khantitharo (presently, he’s
the abbot of Wat Pa Luangta Bua Yansampanno Forest Monastery)
traveled on foot into the forest in Kanchanaburi. He then
practiced Dhamma at the cave (the present location of Wat
Pa Tham Phu Toei), around 3 km. from Phu Toei village. At
that time, there were only 21 households. He started building
chamber, pavilion, storage pond, school, and did the teaching.
The purpose was to instill Dhamma into the mind of the youths,
even living in the remote forest, which would lead to a peaceful
society. While he was there, hardly anyone knew that he was
a disciple of Venerable Luangta Maha Bua.
It was until in 1994 when Luangta Maha Bua ordered him to
build Wat Pa Luangta Bua Forest Monastery that he had to leave
Wat Pa Tham Phu Toei. He appointed Pra Achan Sunthorn (Uan)
Khamphirapanyo as the abbot up to now. However, he took his
disciples to present robes to monks at his previous monastery
regularly every year.
Since this monastery is very far away
and the route is still not very convenient. It’s necessary
to make the trip in advance to stay overnight and present
robes the next morning. We crossed Sri Nakharin Dam by ferry.
Upon arrival, the villagers there took us to visit the cave.
