On 26 June 2026, Venerable Thavalsak Yatisakko, a representative of Wat Phra Dhammakaya, attended the opening ceremony of the cardiac catheterization laboratory at Thammasat Advanced Medical Center (THAMC) in Pathum Thani province.
The Sangha Supreme Council assigned the National Office of Buddhism to draft the regulation about the fund.
He told me that he was studying mechanical engineering and had received a scholarship to further his studies in Japan. But he had to give up his chance to go because his family’s business selling medicine was in crisis because they had debts of 10 million baht. So he agreed to take on the burden of the entire debt on behalf of his father. He was 22 years old at the time.
