Dhammakaya Temple arranged the Great Master Day of Vijja Dhammakaya on Thursday September 19th, 2013
After the Enlightenment which transformed Siddhattha Gotama into the Lord Buddha beneath the Bodhi tree on the banks of the River Neranjara

Wind back 45 years to 27th August 2512 B.E., in the ubosotha (chapel) of Wat Paknam Bhasichareon, and we see a great kalyanamitta who has resolutely decided to ordain and devote his entire life to Buddhism.
The virtuous life of the Great Master Phramongkolthepmuni (Sodh Candasaro), or Luang Pu Wat Paknam Bhasicharoen, was exemplary from the beginning, in the middle and at the end.
At Wat Phra Dhammakaya, February 3rd of each year is known as the Great Master Day — an important and significant day commemorating the passing of the Great Master Phramongkolthepmuni (Sodh Candasaro), the re-discoverer of the Dhammakaya Knowledge; the passing of Master Nun Thongsook Samdaengpan, the first meditation teacher of Master Nun Chand Khonnokyoong; and the day Master Nun Chand Khonnokyoong was cremated.
“Khun Yai” Chand Khonnokyoong was born on January 20, 1909, in Nakorn Chaisri, a rural municipality of Thailand. She was the fifth of nine children in the family. Her father, Ploy, and mother, Pan, were rice farmers.
An ultimate goal of life is aimed at the highest service for the greater good and for the benefit of everyone
