Phra Pang Umbat

The Pang Umbat Buddha represents the act of receiving alms, symbolizing humility, compassion, and interdependence. This posture, associated with Wednesday mornings in the traditional Thai daily Buddha representations, depicts the Buddha standing with both hands holding an alms bowl. It reflects the balance between material and spiritual needs, as well as the reciprocal relationship between monks and laypeople in Buddhist teachings.

This posture is considered particularly auspicious for those born on a Wednesday morning, often serving as a spiritual guardian. Rooted in Buddhist philosophy, the Pang Umbat posture embodies the principles of generosity, mindfulness, and the Middle Path, making it a meaningful representation of Buddhist values.
