Buddha image in the pahng ram peung pose, i.e. reflecting or thinking in retrospect, which refers to a scene in which the Buddha contemplates the subtle nature of dhamma and ponders on how to reveal this to mankind, considering that his teachings may be understood better by some than by others and comparing it with the image of lotus flowers, of which some are already flourishing above the water while others are still below the surface awaiting their bloom. This pose corresponds to Friday in the Phra prajam wan geut system, while the pale blue background corresponds to Friday in the sih prajam wan system. |
