What is the principle of “Sangha Dana”? f there is only one monk who receives our gifts, it can be counted as Sangha Dana? Which one gives us more merit between presenting gifts to the Order of Monks or to a specific one?
I’d like to ask Luang Phaw about the principle of “Sangha Dana” (presenting gifts to the Order of Monks), and if there is only one monk who receives our gifts, it can be counted as Sangha Dana or not? Also I’d like to know which one gives us more merit between presenting gifts to the Order of Monks or to a specific one.

Cock-fight
He watched a special report in DMC about the closedown of a cock-fight gambling den in Saraburi province. This made he think of his father who liked to collect the Buddha images, gambled cock-fight and watched Thai-boxing because his dad was a boxer. What retributions caused his father to be sick and went in and out of the hospital for 5 years? What retributions caused him to have eye surgery, cirrhosis, vomit blood-clots, hiccup with the sound “cock-a-doodle-doo”, and difficulty in eating and drinking water?

Dream of Naga
She dreamt of a Naga talking about the history and story of Naga fireballs which was similar to what Luang Phaw mentioned in Dream in Dream Kindergarten, although she has never watched any story about Naga before. Is this a true story or it's just a dream. DMC has the answers.
If You Do It, I Have To Do It, Too
Aunt Choop was the daughter of one of Luang Pu’s closest friends. She had the opportunity to help with the funeral for Luang Pu’s mother. She had always made desserts and offered the desserts and alms to Luang Pu. As soon as she learnt that Uncle Laum and Aunt La Aw would donate the land for the construction of the Memorial Hall of Phramongkolthepmuni, she promptly announced that, “ If you do it, I have to do it, too.” After Aunt Choop donated the land, she had been looking forward to the completion of the Memorial Hall.
Wonder Girl
The “Universal Energy” bonds the power of life, fights with serious illness, soothes mind into the centre of brain, builds circulations to generate seven levels of powers, and cures diseases with mind. I and my husband had practiced on the “Universal Energy”. However, we currently enter a temple, soothe our mind, and place it at the centre of the body. We practice a new kind of aura taught by Luang Phaw called “Gigantic Universal Energy”.
