In the 1300s a monk named Sumanaost found a intriguing relic believed to be part of Buddha’s shoulder bone, which he deemed so precious it needed to be concealed. The Monk believed the relic had special powers and hid it in a series of silver Chinese boxes which he put into a bronze casket. With the relic in safe keeping, Chiang Mai’s King Kuna built Wat Suan Dok, whose name means Flower Garden, to house it. While moving the relic into Wat Suan Dok it miraculously divided itself into two pieces, with each piece growing back to the size of the original. This was considered a major miracle in olden day Chiang Mai.
