The funeral of a great Buddhist monk
26th Feb, 2010 at 7:17am  
Thousands of Vientiane residents mourn the loss of top Buddhist monk Ajarn Boukham at "Vat That Foun". A great teacher and inspiration, he will be sadly missed by all Buddhist Laotians. May he rest in peace and be in our hearts forever.

When was this funeral? This past weekend?  He was cremated during the night time?  I wonder if there is a reason behind that.

It's not a festival.  It's a ceremony for the death of a head monk.  Buddhism is very important in Laos.  This is what's keeping peace in the country.

Buk IIWJ, The funeral was held on the 25th February, 2010.  

It's very hot in Vientiane, so it makes sense to have it done during the evening. Also, it gives people who work and go to school the chance to go to the temple and witness a historic moment in their lifetime.

Angakkuq, It's a ceremony as Jackspade mentioned. He can be compared to a King, so the ceremony went for a few weeks to give people time to grieve and make donations to the temple.

Buk IIWJ, The're only a limited book, so you better hurry.

Tee, Ajarn Boukham (1939 - 2010) was born in Champassak, southern Laos. He became a monk when he was only 8 years old and remained for the rest of his life. He has travelled to other countries including the USA and Australia. He is considered by many as one of the greatest monks ever.


To a sleepless person the night is very long.
To the weary the league seems quite long.
To the ignorant, bereft of an awareness of the Dhamma,
the cycle of existence is very long, as he is not aware of how to shorten it.

Thank you Admin! Now I know where he was born..but I still don't know what he did, as most Laos consider him as a very good monk.

I know most of us in Laos, the parent poor and will ask the son to become monk and later year when received all the free education,they will leave the Monk life. I am not saying this is bad... I,my self have 2 year education from the monk school in Wat Sala Deang near Si Muang. In that 2 years did educate me how to read and write Laos.

Temple in Laos have educated a lot of low class Laotian and teaching us how to be a good novice to the society. I am proud to say I had educated from the temple.
