His Majesty's virtue One thing is Kunti. He is firm and stable. Calm the mind, restrain the mind, not be indifferent when experiencing the emotion as the site of anger. As if to take the story as an example.
Once there was one of Phraya's servants. The house is behind Ban Khamin Market.

Somdet has another virtue, that is, he is respectful and humble. It is said that he met the Buddha image. He would keep a distance of about four cubits and then sit down and prostrate. When he finally found a puppet of Buddha, he did so. Once asked, he replied that the first clay he picked up to make a puppet was. is counted as a god Because the maker originally intended to make a Buddha image in the book "Boonyawat", Mr. Chum Chantanabubpha Priyan, compiled (printed in commemoration at the cremation ceremony of Pheuan Chantanabubpha at the crematorium of Wat Rakang, dated June XNUMX, XNUMX). An article about Somdet pay homage to the statue of Buddha It is extracted as follows.
“I was informed by Phra Khru Palad Sampipatanasilachan (Chom Chanthanabubpha), Encyclopedia of Somdet Phra Buddhakhosachan (M.R. Charoen Isarangkun Na Ayutthaya) ) Wat Rakang, who is an uncle, came again. He said that when he was a child about XNUMX years old, he became a disciple of Permanent Secretary. Once I went to pray at a northerner's house. (That is the foundry house today) along with Somdet Phra Phutthachan (Toh). The Buddha image was placed in the sun about XNUMX cubits away from the path. When Somdet Phra Somdej passed through this distance, he bowed down and raised his hands above his head in salutation. The monks and disciples who went with them did so. After going home from work and sitting on the asana The host's assistant mayor who was familiar with Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn asked if “I am curious because I have never seen Princess Somdej act like this,” he replied. “But I've never actually seen it before. But today was a coincidence. Because I have walked past in your patronage not more than XNUMX sorks, I have to do the following. “Haven't lifted up yet, and haven't opened his eyes yet. Will it be a monk or not?” because the maker intends to be a Buddha image How about calling Uttasik Chedi?” On the way back, he did the same thing again.
Tomorrow you go to me Now he saw the Buddha image sitting about six cubits away from the path he had taken yesterday. He stopped and stood in front of the monk. and join hands together with the monks who go with him for about XNUMX minute and then go up to the house when finished the meal The host has finished offering the offerings to Lord Yathasapphi. Then he brought the incense, candles, flowers that the host offered to pay homage to the puppet monk. along with the monks who followed them together and returned to the temple.”
It is said that when Somdet went to see a novice carrying a book of scriptures to study You must sit together with your hands or bow down to pay respect to the Dhamma. Even if anyone will project your image in any posture If there were preaching books there You must always pick up one country to preach. One more thing, if you meet a novice preaching (sermon), you will have to stop and listen until the end and go somewhere else. that you do as follows Since he wished to follow the example of the Lord Buddha, he listened to the teachings that Anuruddha taught, saying that once the Buddha went to meet Anuruddha while preaching. His Highness stood and listened until the end. When Phra Anuruddha knew about it, he asked for forgiveness for making him stay so long. he said No matter how much longer, he will stand Because he respected the Dharma as follows Incidentally, it is said that Monks, no matter how old or young a monk is, when they go to pay their respects to them, they pay respects (how many times they pay respects to them). He bowed down to answer only once) Phra Preceptor Det Wat Klang Thanarin Singburi province that Once, I went to see Chao Prakhun Somdet at Wat Rakhang. he respectfully replied The preceptor Dej was surprised.
