Wind back 45 years to 27th August 2512 B.E., in the ubosotha (chapel) of Wat Paknam Bhasichareon, and we see a great kalyanamitta who has resolutely decided to ordain and devote his entire life to Buddhism.

Every monk determined to get rid of or lessen his defilement, greed, anger, and ignorance. When the project was over, they went to Dhammakaya Temple to continue their self-training for being the fertilized merit fields in the coming Dhammachai Dhutanga.
