Aiko’s Kathina
Edited from the Inner Dreams Kindergarten Program broadcasted on DMC

I pay the highest respect to Luang Phaw

I would like to introduce myself again for the new students. I am Miss Maneesai Sirilertchaiyakul and everyone knows me as Khunkhru Aiko of DMC. I am 9 years old and studying grade 4 at Assumption Convent Silom School.

“I love to make merit at the temple. I love Dhammakaya Temple very much.”

I miss Khunkru Maiyai and all of the Inner Dreams students. I am glad to see many V–star children being the presidents of Kathina Ceremonies. I have been the president of Kathina Ceremonies since I was 6 years old, as below.

2008    Wangkong Temple in Chiang Mai province
2009    Bangprang Temple in Nakhon Nayok province
2010    Metarang Temple in Pathum Thani province

In this year, 2011, I was the president of the 4th remain Kathina Ceremony at Thuanthong Temple in Chonburi province.

In this year, 2011, I was the president at Thuanthong Temple in Pattaya on October 29th, 2011. It was very hard for me because of the flood problem. The tide on that day was in the highest level and the water began to flood my village. However, my family decided to go to join the Kathina Ceremony certainly.

We brought my little brother, 11 months old, named IQ to make the Kathina merit together. IQ was very excited and he joined the clockwise circumambulation procession as well. He did not cry at all. My parents and I were happy and proud of this ceremony very much because we had to go through the flood to join it. Our total donation was about 400,000 Baht. I would like to persuade V–Star children to make the Kathina merit. Last but not least, I wish Luang Phaw to be healthy and your leg will be better as soon as possible. I attached my little brother’s pictures to you as well.

I love Luang Phaw most of the world

I also make merit as a receptionist

Aiko love to teach Dhamma
