Rantings of A Schizophrenic: Luang Phor Thuad Temple

Hello there,
Just like I said before,I have long weekend this week so the next destination was Lenggong, Perak.It's about one hour drive from Ipoh to Lenggong.Since,my uncle believe in the monks there he brings us there to do some prayers for my dad's business.

What is interesting about Lenggong?There is a temple build in recently called Wat Luang Poh Tuad Ayer Kala. The story about this temple starts like this, few years ago an Indonesia born Chinese man who diagnosed cancer had a dream. In his dream, a monk told him, "If you follow my guide, found my nirvana spot, build a small temple for me, I will cure your cancer". It sounds mysterious. The Indonesia man is rich and he decided to give it a try. Subsequently, he had few dreams and follow the tips and reached an estate near Air Kala, Lenggong, Perak, Malaysia. He then able to identify which rubber tree was Luang Phor Thuad sitting during the nirvana. He told the people there about his experience. Then few of them make a small temple for others to pray to Luang Phor Thuad.After that, the Indonesian was cured. The small temple started to get famous. More and more people pray there. Some of them win the lottery after that, and thus more people from outstation visiting this temple.

This is the monk (SIFU)

Plus there is a rubber tree that is also known as lottery tree. There was a day, someone rub on the rubber tree there, and saw some numbers. Then he win the lottery. Then others follow and rub the rubber tree. Until a day, someone had a dream and Long Phor Thuad tell him to tell the rest stop rub on the tree, it is like rub on his skin and it is very painful. In this story, there is another rubber tree where it was cut, use the tree to make few thousands of pendant and distribute to the prayers, and also to make a wood statute of Luang Phor Thuad. Unfortunately one day, the wood statute is stolen. There were rumors saying it was stolen by the illegal lottery company because they are losing money. However, after few months, the wood statute is back to the temple again. But ever since then, less people win lottery and this place is not as popular as the last golden time.

"THE LOTTERY TREE"

This temple is also well known for Holy Water Bathing( Mandi Bunga).Visitors should fill the pails provided with holy water from the well mix it flowers before seeing the monk. This is said, that will drain off your evil or bad luck from that particular individual. Once you had the bath, you can buy souvenirs here.
