Super Perfection Pursuer

What did my mother do which causes her to love merit accumulation so much and had the chance to make merit with Luang Pu when he was still alive? What deed makes her, at the last period of her life, suffer with blood pressure, rheumatoid, thyroid and makes her tumble so many times that her ankles are no longer strong which obstruct her from coming to the temple? What retribution makes her not to have gum edge which causes her to be unable to wear false teeth, so it is difficult for her to eat and defecate?

It Is Precious

Good Bye, My Hometown

My employers liked to go to temples and they had very kind hearts.I had a chance to learn about the law of Karma and the truth of life because here DMC was on most of the day.

My co-worker refuse with the reason that religions teach people to be contented and equable, and that doesn’t go well with the business life. How do I solve this misunderstanding?

When I ask my business associates to come to temples, they always refuse with the reason that religions teach people to be contented and equable, and that doesn’t go well with the business life. Would you please give us explanation in order to solve this misunderstanding?

A Fluke Or A Fruit Of Merit?

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.

Iran-Thai Man Ordained and Cast Buddha Image

One Iran-Thai Man was easy to be raised, not naughty and had a good memory. After his parents got divorced, he stayed with his Iranian father. However, he chose to be ordained in Buddhism when he reached 21. He thinks that it is an opportunity to do good deeds for gratitude toward his parents, in which his father allowed willingly.

Showing Symptoms

He used to throw a live turtle into a fire, when it crawled out, would throw it back into the fire again many times until it died. Not too long after that he asked for an ordination. Three months later he put on his robe and poured the petrol all over himself and lit the fire.
