For example, if there were statements about constructing a
Dhamma Hall or a monk's shelter soon, then this must happen.
In short, the temple must produce results as soon as it can.
Thus, the first sacred formula is cleanliness; in other
words, "The Sacred Formula for Treasures" of Luang Phaw
Wat Paknam.
2) The second sacred formula is diligence in teaching.
Luang Phaw Wat Paknam explained that those with faith
in Buddhism and the determination to establish and assist a
temple must be diligent in studying and teaching Dhamma.
Laypeople offer meals to monks at the temple on a daily basis;
if the monks do not teach them Dhamma in return, they would
feel that they gain nothing when they visit the temple. It is
even worse if the monks take the offerings for granted and do
not respond. This would raise the question in people's minds
of why they are there (at the temple).
It is easy to find an appropriate topic to teach. Clues can
be found on people's faces. Typically, people experience a
variety of problems in their lives, and often, their suffering
appears on their faces. So, the monks must choose the right
topic in Dhamma to teach them until they understand and are
able to solve their own problems. The monk must instill this
right topic of Dhamma into the listener's mind in order to end
his misery, like curing an infection with the right medication.
When instilled with the teachings of the Lord Buddha,
people will develop faith and be willing to help the monks and
novices at the temple. They will then be able think of their
contributions to the temple as 'worldly wealth,' while what
they are given in return is much more than that. They are given
'noble wealth,' (Dhamma teachings) which can remedy their
suffering throughout their lives. This 'noble wealth' of
Dhamma teachings is incomparable.
Therefore, the second sacred formula of diligence in
teaching is called "The Sacred Formula for Mobilization"
of Luang Phaw Wat Paknam.
3) The third sacred formula is frequency of
meditation practice.

Luang Phaw Wat Paknam explained that the purpose of
ordination is an effort to attain Nibbana. Attainment of
Nibbana is achieved through frequent meditation practice.
He further expounded that the essence of all of the Lord
Buddha's teachings emphasize meditation. As a result, monks
must practice it regularly and frequently, in order to bring an
end to their defilements. This can only happen when they can
see their defilements. They can only see their defilements when
they are able to see their own minds. And they can see their
