Kathina – The Splendid Robe Offering Ceremony Wednesday, 25 November 2015 at Wat Phra Dhammakaya, Thailand
In the beginning, there were only extensive fields under the hot sun with no trees or buildings. And at night, there was only the star-filled sky.
I was forced to come here. I don’t have any faith in you and I don’t even know you. I’ve only heard of your name but have no belief in your supernatural stories at all. If you are real, why don’t you bless me with a winning lotto.
The Most Venerable Phramonkolthepmuni (Sod Candasaro), Luang Pu Wat Paknam Bhasichareon, the light of Dhamma to mankind (episode II).
He found a biography of Luang Pu Wat Paknam printed in Chinese and asked his wife to try practicing meditation according to the instructions in the book. After 2 months, she went back to the hospital. It turned out that she no longer had cancer and her vertebral subluxation also disappeared. What kamma retribution caused her to have vertebral subluxation and breast cancer? What merit allowed her to receive help from Luang Pu to be cured without taking medication? DMC has the answeres
Aunt Choop was the daughter of one of Luang Pu’s closest friends. She had the opportunity to help with the funeral for Luang Pu’s mother. She had always made desserts and offered the desserts and alms to Luang Pu. As soon as she learnt that Uncle Laum and Aunt La Aw would donate the land for the construction of the Memorial Hall of Phramongkolthepmuni, she promptly announced that, “ If you do it, I have to do it, too.” After Aunt Choop donated the land, she had been looking forward to the completion of the Memorial Hall.
I am a staff of Thai Airways. My husband is a flight captain. We have a chance to accrue all merits with Luang Phaw for twenty-three years. The heart’s valve was treated from leaking, and even the doctor was surprised. I currently feel very fresh and ready to work non-stop, and I feel like I am young again.
