My four faced Buddha experience

by Anonymous
(Singapore)

I’m just a simple guy out there. In mid 2007, it was the first time it happened to me when I prayed to four faced Buddha. I was almost at the end of my life, on my knees in front of the four faced Buddha to pray for help.

A few hours later, it came true...$. Not much but it really saved my life. I kept my promised and went back to Bangkok to redeem my vow to the four faced Buddha.

Although the sum didn’t really pull me out of what I was facing that time it really saved my life. After that, I was still struggling over some problem. Yet I’ve been praying to the four faced Buddha, hoping he will help me again.

In early 2008, I still remember, it was 20 April, the miracle happened again. And this time, it was really a big sum to me or to most of the others. It was a dream that I had a few days before 20 April. It came true!

It totally solved all my problems and changed my life.

I did come back Bangkok to pray and redeem my vow to the four faced Buddha. But thinking back now, it seems I didn’t do what I promised or I can't really remember what I promised before "the miracle" happened.

After solving all my problems, I overspent and within 6 months I was back to my previous life and even worse. I’m human, I know I really did wrong and never really used the money in a good way.

At 4 am on Dec 2008, I can’t really remember the date, I received a sms from someone. I suddenly felt like my life will end in few more days. I walked to the living room and went on my knees in front of the four faced Buddha.

The next day, it happened again. It really happened again. Compared to the previous sum, this was far different. But it saved my life again for the third time. Even though I didn’t really redeem what I promised as I said earlier.

A very good friend witnessed all this. I did make a promise to the four faced Buddha that if I got chance to start my life anew, I will go back to Bangkok and redeem the vow.

When I looked back on what I went through, I knew it is the four faced Buddha. He has been helping me again and again. Yet I didn’t keep my promise after my "second miracle". I really feel bad and sad deep inside. I’m now still in a very bad situation and I know I’m the one who did wrong and must face all this.

Just happened to see this website and think I should write something to share with you all. You must redeem what you promised to the four faced Buddha.

I’m in Singapore now yet I’m still praying to the four faced Buddha. If I got a chance to walk out of my horrible life now, I will redeem what I promised previously to the four faced Buddha. I really will and really hope "a miracle" will come to me tomorrow.

Thank you four faced Buddha... 29 Dec 2008

That's not a Buddha
by: Claudio

The statue is not a Buddha but the Hindù Lord Brahma, I wonder why so many websites and people call it Buddha.

The Erawan Shrine is a Hindu shrine and not Buddhist. The Buddhist iconography establishes rigid forms of representing the Buddha, standing, walking, sitting, lying down. And certainly not with four faces.

The Lord Buddha explicity forbade a personal cult making him a deity, and never denied his human nature.

Sincere heart
by: Van Zan

I'm a Malay Muslim who went to the four-faced Buddha in Bangkok to pray and seek help. A friend of mine told me to go there and ask for help. As long as your heart is pure and sincere, he will help. Three of my wishes came true. One wish for each trip I made.

A piece of advice though, if your intention is to go there and seek help, just go there pray, do your shopping and that's it! Do not go to the girly shows or other hanky panky business.

May you be one of the many who got his/her prayer answered as I'm proud to be one of them. =)

God bless!

Thank you Lord Brahma
by: Francesca

I prayed to the four-faced Buddha at the Erawan Shrine for the first time when I visited Bangkok in 2010. I prayed to heal my current disappoinment during that time and also I wished that I could own an asset that I always dreamed of having.

A few months later my two wishes were GRANTED. It is a miracle. I returned to the Erawan Shrine in 2011 to offer many thanks to the four-faced Buddha for granting my two wishes.

At the same time I also prayed for a better job. Within a few months....my wish for a better job was again GRANTED beyond what I'd expect. Praying to the four-faced Buddha can really bring you miracles as long as your wishes are SINCERE and HUMBLE.

I am not keen in asking the four-faced Buddha to grant my wish to become a millionaire because if I look around, there are so many people in this world who are suffering in poverty, with no shelter and insufficient food.

My concerns are for them. Compared to them, I have sufficient to meet my needs in life. I made my promise to return to the Erawan Shrine to express my thanks and make an offering to the four-faced Buddha sometime in early 2012.

I will fly to Bangkok just for 1one reason, to thank the four-faced Buddha.

A little help here
by: jason Lee

Hi there, is it possible if you could give me the address of the four-faced Buddha temple which you've visited?

Any special methods to pray? Like what to say? And 'memorized scripts' to say to the Buddha? Meanwhile, in Singapore, is there a four-faced Buddha temple where your wishes are really granted?

Thanks!

Correct way to pray
by: Semper Fi

Hi Everyone,

I always wonder what is the correct way to pray to the four-faced Buddha. What is the proper offering to pray? Any idea?

I have seen all sorts of offerings being made the to four-faced Buddha and I'm confused by these items.

The last time I prayed, I actually bought the miniature elephant. Any meaning to the miniature elephant? And also, I saw those miniature sculptures? Coconuts?

I believe each of the items offered has a different meaning. Can anyone enlighten me?

Thanks!

Appreciation to four-faced Buddha
by: Roy

Hi All,

I started visiting this Thai temple two years ago. At that time, I just prayed for the sake of praying when my luck was down. I didn't really put my heart into it.

Last Feb, I felt my life was at its lowest point in my work and relationship. I thought I should go to the temple to ask for luck. But this time, I went with sincerity and prayed from the bottom of my heart.

I did not wish for fortune. What I did was just pray sincerely and hope things will be better sooner or later.

By the way, I did not go to Thailand to pray. I went to the local Thai temple at Bukit Merah. Buddha is the same everywhere, doesn't really matter where you pray. As long you are sincere and devoted, Buddha will bless you.

For those who are unsure where to start to pray to the four-faced Buddha, start with the side where the leg is down and go clockwise.

I often visit and buy flowers. Don't really need to buy for every visit. Just buy when you feel like buying or perhaps, when your wish comes true in any way.

I made a wish last week and apparently it came true, so today after work, I will head down with a coconut drink and buy flowers as a way to show my appreciation.

My advice to everyone is, pray sincerely. Our wish will be heard by the Buddha.

Regards,
Roy

Thanks to the four- faced Buddha
by: SincereMe

To some people I may seem crazy. I always talk to the four-faced Buddha when I'm alone in the car especially in a jam at night after work cos no one will see me from the outside.

I went to Bangkok and made wishes to the four-faced Buddha. Within a month, my wish came true. I am very thankful to the four-faced Buddha. The minute when it happened straight away I thought yes, it's Him!

Now I've booked ticket to visit the four-faced Buddha again on 3 December. I wish to show my appreciation here to thank the four-faced Buddha.

I didn't forget about you four-face Buddha, I am coming. But anyone have any idea how to repay the four-faced Buddha? Please share here.

Four-faced Buddha - Daughter's prayer was answered
by: Kristyn

My daughter has a skin problem since she was a child, and all this while we've been trying all ways to help her through specialists.

Last December, me & my family went all the way to pray to the four-faced Buddha at the Erawan Shrine. My daughter made a wish for her skin problem to be cured. Her prayer has been answered.

So, this year we are going back to Bangkok to pray and redeem her vow to the four-faced Buddha.

I would like to thank the four-faced Buddha from the bottom of my heart.

Did you pray for your ex to come back ?

Thank you four-faced Buddha
by: Anonymous

The first time I went to the Erawan Shrine was in early 2009 together with my sister-in-law. She told me that she wanted to thank the four-faced Buddha for answering her prayers. During that time, I also prayed for something and it came true a few months later.

Still remember I was yelling in my heart "Why and When?". Within five minutes, my phone rang and to my surprise, the thing that I have been waiting for had finally come. So I decided to go back to four-faced Buddha sometime next week.

Thank you very much (Khob Pra Khun Krab), four-faced Buddha.

Miracle at the Erawan Shrine
by: Anonymous

My friends of Erawan Buddha!

I cannot in the world ever imagine that I will ever be able to write this message! I had a wonderful life before I witnessed my husband naked in bed! My child was so young, barely 4 years of age when all this happened!

I slowly but surely went downhill into depression and alcohol for the last 5 years! I was a well educated lady who spent my early days of my life being educated in the UK.

For the past 18 years I worked but isolated myself from people and this alienation led me to severe depression and anger.

One day when I was in Bangkok I was supposed to go to visit the Grand Palace but because it was closed I was directed to visit the four-faced Buddha at the Erawan Shrine. When I saw him I started to trust him and poured my feelings to him.

You know I met a man the next day just a friend and I started to heal and came out of my depression, stopped my alcohol and this moment I know only Erawan can heal my betrayal and moved on
in my life!

Today I have a wonderful relationship with my only son, take care of myself and feel happier. No one could have just pluck me out of my hopeless depression and drinking just overnight but our dear Erawan Buddha.

I told myself I will repay him by writing and yes I just happen to stumble on this site!

Dear Erawan Buddha! You, through your miracle cured me of my woes and I became a human with a heart that can feel and things touch me now!!

Thank you Erawan!!
