Question about Wat Traimit (Temple of the Golden Buddha)
Does anyone know when in 1957 this occurred? What month and day?
(But in 1957, when the image was being moved to a new temple in Bangkok, it slipped from a crane and was left in the mud by workmen. In the morning, a temple monk, who had dreamed that the statue was divinely inspired, went to see the Buddha image. Through a crack in the plaster he saw a glint of yellow, and discovered that the statue was pure gold.)
