The ordinands lined up to meet their parents
For the Hair Cut Ceremony
At the back of the Main Chapel in Dhammakaya Temple



Their parents were waiting for the ceremonies peacefully.

Their parents and the congregation came to this ceremony together.



The Hair Cut Ceremony of the IDOP Special generation
The smiles of men who are rich of merit from different nationalities and races



I am an international ordinand named Howard McCrary
I can touch of love and good-willing from Dhammakaya Family.



Dhammakaya Family
Even though I travelled so far, people here impressed me.



The atmosphere of the Hair Cut Ceremony of the international ordinands



The congregation cut the ordinands’ hair together cordially
Both Thais and foreigners were very happy in this merit



The golden long hair were cut a little in each time
Rejoice in everyone’s merit



The ordinands held the container with the big lotus leaves for putting down their hair



The Head Shave Ceremony of the international ordinands
The teaching monks from Dhammakaya kindly participated in this ceremony

 

Mr. Howard McCrary in another view
He sings the “Change the world” song



The teaching monks were shaving the ordinands' heads
This ceremony would free the ordinands from some concerns



The Head Shave Ceremony of IDOP Special generation
Another view that impresses the seers

And inspires them to follow this pure way



The Head Shave Ceremony
Even if you are far away,
When your merit yields fruit,
You will reach here anyway

 

The ordinands’ faces were bright after finished shaving their heads

 

The golden light was shining bright,
The international ordinands were shining the Dhamma light,
All ordinands will make the world bright by Dhamma light



Once in my life
A man like me…Howard McCrary



Once in my life
I reach the final of my journey…it is to be ordained.



In this ceremony I can touch of love and good-willing
Very, very special from Dhammakaya Family



All ordinands appreciated the special chance given by Luang Phaw
We are the Dhamma Warriors



All ordinands would like to share and rejoice in your merit
Be happy very much
