Biography The Most VenerablePhratepyanmahamuni (Luang Phaw Dhammajayo)
: Understanding Life’s Goal
On the first day of meditation practice with Khun Yay, the first question the new student asked was: “Khun Yay does heaven and hell exist?” Khun Yay simply answered, “Yes, they both exist. Heaven and hell are real. I’ve been there when I went to help my father. My father went to hell because he drank alcohol daily and would get drunk. I requested the help of the DhammaKaya to help bring my father into heaven. Would you like to go there? I will teach you and we can there together.”
It was a clear and direct answer that was completely different from any answer he had heard before. This indicated the confidence she had her experience, and what she knew and saw on her own. This is because Khun Yay had meditated in the Meditation Workshop with other nuns and monks when the Great Master, Luang Pu Wat Paknam, was still alive. These monks and nuns were selected by Luang Pu Wat Paknam because they had remarkable concentration in meditation. At that time, Khun Yay meditated with determination for six hours during the day and six hours at night. She had such superb results from her meditation experiences that Luang Pu Wat Paknam extolled her among other meditators with: “Daughter Chandra is the best. She is second to none.”
After meditating with Khun Yay for only a short amount of time, young student Chaiboon discovered the answers to questions he had sought for so long: “Why were we born, and what is the true goal of life?” The results from meditation provided the answers that, “we were born to pursue perfection, and Nibbana is the highest goal of everyone’s life.”
