Let’s Decide Where to Die
She was born in the family that everybody accomplished in their life. Her father is a smart and well-educated people. Her mother has a very high IQ. Her sister always gets the first place of the class. However, she is different and looks like a looser among the winners. Even her marriage did not go smoothly. She has many suffering. Only her grandmother gave her an encouragement. Once her grandmother passed away, she intended to do the merit for her grandmother for one year. Then she will commit suicide. Fortunately, she found DMC before she did that.
Mother Still Cares
Not knowing the truth of life is extremely dangerous and because of this she made many errors before she got to know Wat Phra Dhammakaya. The DMC channel made us aware of the truth of life. This is fundamental because to lead a wrong life is more painful than not being alive.
A Different Point of Views
My oldest sister follows a different creed called “Sanya”. The members of this creed chant something different from Buddhist morning and evening chanting. They light candle when they start chanting, and put the candle off when they finish a sentence of a chant. They repeat the same routine until they finish chanting.
Singburi Woman
I was the first women to pedal a 3-wheeled pedicab in Singburi. I worked until a car crashed into me and injured my left leg. I had to stop pedaling the 3-wheeler. What demerit has caused me to have a difficult life since childhood And even now I am still in difficult circumstances. But why do others see me as having a comfortable and prosperous life? The fire which occurred at the house went out on its own. Was it because of help from the great Dhammakaya teachers?
Thai Youth In The High Tech Era
Very often I felt like surrendering and didn’t understand why the more merit I made the more degrading my life was until I became penniless. I felt as if I was in the dark. However, no matter how bad it was I would not give in and I chose to fight to my death. I changed from being downhearted to taking up the challenge. Finally I found out the best solution was not to think about it and to motivate myself to keep on making merit with an assurance that one day the merit will certainly yield fruit.
Encourage Each Other
From a wealthy family we suddenly turned the opposite way, which we were not prepared for. My father drank even more after this depression. When he got drunk, he would hurt my mother several times.
Giving Out Money Because It Brings Utmost Happiness
After our marriage, we had an income of at least 10 million baht per month.Once my husband organized a concert and made 700,000 baht in one night. He was so happy that he took all money and throw to the audience.From that time on, our situation deteriorated. Whatever business we tried, they all failed.
The Executioner Behead a Prisoner
Before the execution, the primary swordsman drank a large amount of alcohol to calm himself. Just when he was about to make the killing blow, his energy level dropped greatly until he was unable to sever the prisoner’s neck immediately. The primary swordsman lost his footing because he struck his blow at the wrong moment. So he ended up obstructing the path of the second swordsman who was raising his sword to administer a follow-up blow.
The More Petulant, The More Charming
I always ask myself, “What do I live for?” When I had children, I told myself that I live for my children. Later this question still comes back to me, “What do I live for?” Now that I found Luang Phaw, I know what I live for.
How does an old tradition of Thai society that urges children to prostrate themselves at their parents’ feet before going to bed help develop children’s virtue?
I’d like to ask you about an old tradition of Thai society that urges children to prostrate themselves at their parents’ feet before going to bed. How does this tradition help develop children’s virtue? If the people of the present time would like to reintroduce that tradition, where can they begin?
