Due to the transit of the Jupiter star into a new zodiac sign, which coincides with Visakha Bucha Day, devotees, merit-makers, prayerful individuals, and those practicing spiritual beliefs will journey to accumulate merit at various locations.
Ajarn Chiang Dr. Pannawit, a well-known Feng Shui master affiliated with Lord Ganesha and a respected white spiritual practitioner, presided over the announcement and invocation ceremony of guardian deities and conducted the crowning ritual of the supreme pinnacle of the Phra Borom Trai Lokaphisitnath Chedi at Yodphu, Wat Khao Pa Kaeo, Wang Nam Yen District, Sa Kaeo Province. The ceremony was led by the venerable Phra Kru Rattanawanaporn (Sa-ard Akkawanno), aged 91 with 71 years ordained, serving as the chief monk.
To receive blessings on Visakha Bucha Day as Jupiter transitions zodiac signs, a large wave of faith from Buddhists and Ajarn Chiang’s disciples gathered in great numbers for the ceremony.
During the ritual, a phenomenon appeared: clouds forming a shape resembling an umbrella canopy, casting shade over the participants. Those present witnessed and deeply felt with their hearts the power of Buddha, deities, and protective blessings, which bestowed auspicious energy and great encouragement.
Recently, Ajarn Chiang Dr. Pannawit revealed six secret methods to create merit, flourish against worldly trends, and boost inner strength toward easy prosperity.
1. Offer alms to monks or make public charity donations.
2. Recite the Buddha’s protective chant, the Karaniya Metta Sutta, nine times.
3. Avoid consuming negative news or gossip about others; instead, spend seven days praising and speaking kindly about others.
4. Practice meditation focusing on breathing for nine minutes in the morning upon waking and before sleep.
5. Forgive and grant pardon as an act of charity.
6. Regularly worship Lord Ganesha every morning and evening, receiving the first and last light of day, asking for his protection throughout day and night.
It is especially auspicious to wear or carry an image of Lord Ganesha on your person, allowing him to remove obstacles, guide you to success, and serve as a divine reminder to maintain mindfulness and act with kindness.
