1987年,为庆祝普密蓬·阿杜德国王陛下60周岁生日 ,空军清迈府宗通县茵他侬山建造了大佛塔。并取名为“泰王塔”(纳哈曼塔尼德塔佛塔),意为“存放了伟大如天的舍利宝之佛塔”。
其形象为八方角倒钟形,塔高60米,象征着八正道。即,为达到佛教最高理想境地,进行精进不懈的修行的意思。梵钟响起,钟声回荡。以此庆贺普密蓬·阿杜德国王陛下60大寿。
黄金铸造的尖顶部置于盛开的莲花座之上,意为佛祖成道涅槃。最为重要的舍利存放在八角形大厅里,并摆放着花岗岩雕刻的佛像涅槃像。名为“萨挞庞皮帕圣所”。意思是“佛祖纪念拉玛王朝九世普密蓬·阿杜德国王60大寿”。
为了使得佛塔更加精美绝伦,装饰繁复精致,可以看到,每个部位是无价的建筑艺术品。这个神圣的场所显示了国王永恒的荣誉。
Body of the pagoda is in octagon bell shape divided into 3 parts to represent Lord Buddha’s great 3 Completeness that he had practiced. The 10 Ordinary Completeness represented at the bottom, the 10 Superior Completeness at the middle and the Supreme Completeness at the upper part of the bell. When he had completed all of these, then it is called 30 Completeness.
Important part of building pagoda is the principal Buddha statue inside. The architect who designed this one presented his idea to make it out of rock-granite stone to match the environment which is forest and mountain, calm atmosphere and mostly cold all year long. RTAF agreed because granite stone Buddha statue will look more beautiful if it’s greenish gray, convinces people who comes to worship the pagoda and Ratanattaya: the Triple Gem to have more faith.
RTAF considered pattern and size of this Buddha statue and source to carve it in the 60 inches lap size, blessing attitude, flattened buns regarding to the 9.9 inches template Mr.Laemsing Distapan molded.
