Thailand’s King Bhumipol
Adulyadej has died after a reign of 70 years.
He ascended the throne at a time when most nations were divesting
themselves of kings and the Thai monarchy has little influence or relevance.
Gradually, through the force of his upright character, his personal piety and
his high-profile development projects he elevated himself and the monarchy to a
position of regard and reverence almost unequalled anywhere in the world.
As head of state, he had to
preside over various religious ceremonies and present the required honors and
titles to the country’s often lacklustre monks, the Sangha being little more
than a department of the government. However, he was genuinely pious and
exceptionally well-informed about the true state of the Sangha, and when he
came to know of really worthy monks he would arrange to visit them during his
tours of the country. Simply by doing this the public’s attention would be
directed towards often previously little-known monks, raising their status, and
that of the Sangha’s at the same time. Bhumipol (bhūi = Earth, pāla = protector) was not just the protector of the nation but
also protector and promoter of the Dhamma. With his passing Thailand loses a
great leader and enters a period of uncertinaty.

I was sorry to hear of the King of Thailand's passing. May he attain to the highest realisation of the Dharma. Although we may not have known him personally, he was a giant influence in our Buddhist sphere and has had influence upon us all.
That's the way we all have to go. I wish him a good rebirth ...
