Jikong Shrine, worship the largest Jikong statue in Thailand

#VisitSecondaryCity 🙏Jigong Nam Ping Hong Shrine was founded in 1990. It was originally a small shrine called Jikong Nam Ping Island Shrine. The disciples of Arhat Jikong traveled here to pay homage and bathe the Buddha image every year during the Songkran Festival. 🏰Later, after receiving divine guidance from Venerable Jikong, the Nam Ping Shrine was built to house an altar for the ancestors' tablets and to provide accommodation for the disciples who traveled here to practice Dharma. At the same time, a second-floor altar for the statue of the ancestor was built. Venerable Jikong gave it the name Jiying Island. 🏰Later, it became the 69th member organization in the Tek Ka Charity Association of Thailand. Its official name is Nam Ping Jiying Island Virtue. 🏰To pay homage to Arhat Jikong, you have to walk up 108 steps, which are not very high. On both sides of the road, there are pavilions for sitting and relaxing and enjoying the beautiful view. 🏰The shrine enshrining Master Daoji is a five-story Chinese-style building. The upper floor is where Master Daoji resides. The lower floor is where disciples and the general public perform ceremonies. 🙏In the shrine, there is an 8.8-meter-high bronze statue of the Arhat Ji Gong as the main object. 🏰On the right is where the ancestral tablets and the faithful who have reserved them are kept. 🏰On the upper floor is where the faithful who come to stay are waiting to perform ceremonies on important days. 🏕The building on the left of the shrine enshrining Master Daoji is the first shrine to be built. It is a small shrine. 💥Jigong Nam Ping Hong Shrine: Tambon Muang Kham, Amphoe Phan, Chiang Rai Province 🌐Coordinates: https://maps.app.goo.gl/4umQukS2Q1jpBnzK9 🕗Opening - closing hours: 08.00 - 18.00 #Chiang Rai #Visit Chiang Rai #Chiang Rai attractions
