Congregations from the North came to welcome the Dhammachai Dhutanga Monks

DMC News – January 24^th, 2014

Congregations from 8 Northern provinces came together to welcome the monks who have been walking in the 3^rd Dhammachai Dhutanga along the Way of the Mara Conqueror.

The Upper Northern Coordination Center of the World Morality Restoration Project had invited and persuaded the congregations from 8 Northern provinces which were Chiang Mai, Lamphun, Lampang, Mae Hong Son, Chiang Rai, Phrae, Nan, and Phayao to welcome the monks of the 3^rd Dhammachai Dhutanga along the Way of the Most Ven. Phramongkolthepmuni (Sod Candasaro), the Mara Conqueror.

Kalayanamitras were happy to persuade and bring them to welcome the monks.  Kalayanamitras took care of them well because Kalayanamitras wanted them to get a lot of merit.  They came from many faraway areas; some of them came from peaks in Chiang Mai and Mae Hong Son provinces.  They came here because they wanted to make merit by welcoming 1,129 Dhutanga monks at this time.  They unveiled that even though they live in the faraway areas, they intent to welcome the Dhutanga monks for making merit for themselves, their societies and country.
