A good example of dedicated family, a man who studied major in law and had never believe in Law of Kammar finally changed his opinion after he heard a Dhamma teaching from Ven. Datta. Now, he quitted smoking and drinking and paid more attention on studying Buddhism. He and his wife lost a job during IMF period but now they owned a business. His daughter came to the temple since she was 3 years old and his son also loves to watch DMC.
My grandmother ordained as a Buddhist nun when she was 62 years old at the Wat Paknam Bhasicharoen Temple. She helped out in the kitchen until she died at the age of 72 due to bone cancer. She was in great pain prior to her death and she was wailing miserably. The doctor injected her with morphine at 8am and she died at 6pm on that day
