Venerable Phrakhrusamu Sanitwong Wuttiwangso, director of Communication Department and assistant abbot of Wat Phra Dhammakaya stated that on occasion of “Coronation Day”, Wat Phra Dhammakaya Tochigi collaborated with Dhammakaya International Meditation Center Tochigi to organize an ordination ceremony and a laywomen/laymen training program for the Japanese locals in order to spread the Buddha’s teachings sustainably for the public.
Wat Phra Dhammakaya collaborated with 170 branches of Morality Promotion Center across Thailand to organize the mass ordination project for 5,000 novices, called “Dhamma Training during Summer Break”. On 4 April 2026, at the Ordination Center of Wat Phra Dhammakaya in Pathum Thani province, the parents of ordinands and laypeople circumambulated Maha Dhammakaya Cetiya, were asked for forgiveness and offered novices’ robe and alms bowl. There were 365 ordinands at this ordination center.
The Morning Alms Round is a noble culture from the Buddha Time and is a smart way to keep Buddhism. The amount of receivers has been expanded many times and this wonderful success will inspire the new generation to love and keep Buddhism, the religion of causes and effects, along with Thailand and the world.
