¡¡ Pipal, a plant of Ficus morum mulberry£¬is one of the ¡°Five Trees, Six Flowers¡± in Buddhist faith. The founder of Buddhism, Sakyamuni has a close relationship with pipal in His birth, servanthood, devotion, reincarnation and evangelism. The Thai people, who place their faithfullness in Hinayana, take the pipal as a ¡°Sacred Tree¡± and give their prayer and worship whenever they come across this ancient, huge and sacred tree, trying to keep any offense away from it.¡¡
