Location details
Wat Sarika, Nakhon Nayok
Situated on a small hill not far from Sarika Waterfall, this temple was once a site where Luang Pu Man practiced Vipassana meditation during his forest pilgrimage in Central Thailand. Inside the cave, a statue of Luang Pu Man—slightly smaller than life-size—is enshrined; a large banyan tree stands above, its roots spreading to cover the rock formation. A permanent concrete pavilion has since been constructed in front of the cave to facilitate worship and meditation, creating a cool and serene atmosphere. The cave itself is the very spot where Luang Pu Man once engaged in spiritual practice. Nearby, the principal Buddha image (in the meditation posture) and a statue of Somdej Phra Phutthachan (Toh Brahmarangsi) are enshrined for locals and Buddhists to pay their respects. Additionally, a glass cabinet houses a life-sized wax figure of Luang Pu Man. The temple grounds are set on a hillside, featuring a stairway ascent amidst a natural forest environment. The temple features a shady, natural atmosphere with numerous small monastic huts built to facilitate worship and serve as spaces for Dhamma practice.
