Phra Payom introduces temple-made cookies : Chatu Kham
Move over Oreo cookies. Here come Jatukham Rammathep - the eatable series.
Pra Prayom Kallayano, abbot of Wat Suankaew Temple in Nonthaburi, announced Friday that he has released this eatable version; temple-made Chatu Kham cookies.
The outspoken monk was poking fun at the Buddhist Sangkha, the entire community and the laymen who have been being caught up in the Jatukram Rammathep craze.
His series, Chatu Kham, which loosely translated as "four bites", was revealed to the public on Friday. Each can has four round, palm-size pieces of cookies. One side has Sanskrit script imprinted on it and Chatu Kham on the other side.
Pra Prayhom questioned this latest craze and argued that this fascination was not exactly compatible with the essence of Buddhism.
