From no land to a large tract of land From fallow fields to a graceful Buddhist temple From 1 Bhikku to tens to hundreds to a thousand and increasing From 100 laypeople to 1,000, 10,000, 100,000 and 1 million in the future
“Khun Yai” Chand Khonnokyoong was born on January 20, 1909, in Nakorn Chaisri, a rural municipality of Thailand. She was the fifth of nine children in the family. Her father, Ploy, and mother, Pan, were rice farmers.
Throughout its 45-year history, the Dhammakaya Temple has never wavered from its mission to create world peace through inner peace by promoting the Buddha’s method of meditation and teachings that have changed the world since 2558 years ago.
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.
The Rain Retreat had not existed yet during the initial years of Buddhism. Therefore, throughout any given year, when a monk needs to visit the people in order to teach Dhamma, the journey was made when time permitted.
More than 2,500 years ago, Lord Gotama Buddha renounced his lavish princely life to live as an ascetic in search of the ultimate spiritual liberation.
เหมือนหุ่นเชิด ยายนึกถึงความตาย จึงได้ทอดกฐิน ทอดผ้าป่า ยายคิดว่า เวลามันไม่รอ เดี๋ยววัน เดี๋ยวคืน เดี๋ยวพรุ่ง ไม่รู้จะตายเมื่อไร ยายรีบๆ ทำไว้ เป็นบุญติดตัวไป
