King Rama IX
His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great (Rama IX) was a righteous monarch who upheld the Ten Kingly Virtues. He was ordained as a Buddhist monk from October 22 to November 5, 1956, at Wat Phra Sri Rattana Satsadaram (the Temple of the Emerald Buddha), receiving the monastic name "Bhumibalo Bhikkhu." His Majesty recognized Buddhism as a foundation for morality and ethics in society and as a central institution for studying the teachings of the Buddha. He undertook numerous royal activities to support and promote various religions in Thailand.
On July 29, 1955, His Majesty presided over the state ceremony for laying the foundation stone for Phutthamonthon at the site designated for constructing its principal Buddha image. The project was initiated by the government under Field Marshal Plaek Phibunsongkhram. His Majesty believed that establishing Phutthamonthon would contribute to the flourishing of Buddhism in Thailand and emphasize open-minded spiritual practice. Phutthamonthon was granted royal patronage, ensuring the project's completion, which was eventually realized during the tenure of Prime Minister General Prem Tinsulanonda.
With profound faith in Buddhism, His Majesty was a devout Buddhist and upheld the role of Supreme Patron of All Religions. He extended royal patronage not only to Buddhism but also to other religions practiced within the kingdom, ensuring religious harmony. As a result, people of all nationalities, languages, and faiths could live together peacefully in Thailand.

Vision of His Holiness Somdet
Phra Ariyavongsagatayana XX
The 20th Supreme Patriarch, Somdet Phra Ariyavongsakhatayan (Amphorn Ampharo), had a far-reaching vision for promoting Buddhism and developing Phutthamonthon as a central hub for Buddhism both in Thailand and internationally.His Majesty recognized the importance of Phutthamonthon as a space that allows people to genuinely access the teachings of the Buddha and as a place that promotes living according to moral principles. He emphasized the need to maintain infrastructure and develop the area to be suitable for religious activities, making it a comprehensive religious center and a source of spiritual and cultural learning, so that Buddhism could become a global religion that benefits humanity.
The Phutthamonthon project began in 1957 in Nakhon Pathom to celebrate the 2,500th anniversary of Buddhism. Since then, the project has expanded to 38 provinces across Thailand, with 10 provinces having already completed their projects, including Rayong, Trat, Prachinburi, Nakhon Phanom, Mahasarakham, Phitsanulok, Samut Sakhon, Narathiwat, Khon Kaen, and Chiang Rai. Each Phutthamonthon serves as a center for religious activities, meditation, and as a public space for the people. It also hosts religious events that connect Buddhists worldwide.
The vision of the 20th Supreme Patriarch is to preserve and develop Buddhism, ensuring its stability both within Thailand and internationally. He promoted genuine understanding of Buddhist teachings, supported education and practice of Dharma, and fostered cooperation with various countries to spread Buddhism as a religion of peace and compassion to the world.
