| On October 10, Monks and laymen across the country mourned the death of much-revered Phra Panyanandha Bhikkhu, 96, who passed away at 9am at Bangkok's Siriraj Hospital from a lung infection and kidney failure. One of the foremost monks and spiritual leaders, Phra Panyanandha served as abbot of Wat Cholprathan Rangsarit in Pakkred, Nonthaburi, for 20 years. Luang Phor Panya was considered a towering figure in Buddhism because he strictly followed the teachings of Lord Buddha in its original form, without any embellishments. He adhered to Buddhism in its purest form and went about to propagate Buddhism, at home and abroad, in the most practical sense. His wisdom grew out of his affiliation with the late Buddhadasa Bhikkhu, who was one of the most influential Buddhist monks and ascetic philosophers of the 20th century and founded Wat Suan Mokkh in Chaiya, Surat Thani. |
