THE ORIGINAL TEMPLE: Pae Rongsie rians have been created many times, both from Wat SarnChao - the original temple shrine and several other temples.
However, the most popular ones are from Wat SarnChao - the original temple shrine because it has a shrine where Pae Rongsie regularly performed rituals when he was alive.
NO MONEY IN RETURN: During his lifetime, Pae Romgsie enjoyed helping people who were facing difficulties and suffering, without expecting anything in return.
People who received his help would offer him money in envelopes (红包). When he accepted them, he would tear open the envelopes and return the money.
He told his close disciples that those people were in trouble and came seeking help, accepting money from them would make more hardship to them, this should never be done.
In his later years, his close disciples were concerned about Pae Romgsie's health, but he said, "Don't worry. When the time comes, I will go. Even after I'm gone, I will still help people as I did when I was alive."
DECREE FROM THE HEAVEN: Heaven decreed that Pae RongSie help people. Once, Pae RongSie fell ill and received modern medical treatment at a large, famous hospital with many specialist doctors. However, his condition did not improve; instead, it worsened.
One night, while he was drowsy but not yet asleep, a magnificent Chinese deity, dressed in a way that indicated great power, appeared.
The deity introduced himself as the Jade Emperor (玉皇上帝) and told Pae RongSie that the illness he had could not be cured no matter how skilled the doctors were. If he wanted to recover, he had to willingly agree to be his spirit medium to help suffering people. Only then would all his ailments immediately disappear. The deity added that he would return the following night for an answer.
Late the next night, while Pae RongSie was drowsy and about to fall asleep, the Jade Emperor (玉皇上帝) appeared again and said,
"I have come as promised to ask for your answer: do you agree to my request ?"
Pae RongSie nodded his head and agreed to the request of Jade Emperor (玉皇上帝) in every way.
A few days later, Pae RongSie was discharged from the hospital. The following day, he held a ritual to pay homage to Jade Emperor (玉皇上帝) and receive the heavenly mandate to help humanity. This divine activity continued until his passing.
THE SUPREME CHINESE GOD: According to Chinese belief, Jade Emperor God (玉皇上帝) is the supreme Chinese God who orchestrates everything on earth, including nature, destiny, and the course of human life.
Jade Emperor God (玉皇上帝) and God of Mighty Heaven Blessing (天官赐福) are the same deity.
The characters 天官赐福, which refer to the highest god of Chinese, appear on the altar at the entrance of Chinese homes in Phuket and other provinces in the southern part of Thailand.
天官赐福 is also a sacred Mantra of PaeRongSie used to bless people. Those who own the medal can use it to pray for success in various things they desire.
