Wat Saket Monks Pay Respects to Somdet Phra Buddhaghosacariya

On October 16, 2026, Somdet Phra Vajirasitthajarn, the abbot of Wat Saket, led a delegation of monks to visit Somdet Phra Buddhaghosacariya (Prayudh Payutto) at his recovery residence in Suphan Buri. According to Khaosod Online, the visit served as a formal expression of gratitude for the support and spiritual guidance provided by Somdet Phra Buddhaghosacariya during a challenging seven-year legal period between 2018 and 2024, which involved five senior monks from Wat Saket. The monks sought this audience to acknowledge the wisdom shared by the senior prelate, who is highly respected as a teacher and peer of the late Somdet Phra Buddhacharya (Kiao Upaseno). For residents and visitors, this event highlights the deep-rooted traditions of respect and mentorship within the Thai Sangha. It underscores the importance of spiritual lineage and the enduring bonds between senior monastic figures in Thailand. While the visit was a private act of reverence, it reflects the ongoing internal cohesion of the temple community following the resolution of their past legal cases. No further public activities or changes to temple operations were announced in connection with this visit.
