Every year, the temple hosts several major merit-making events to give Buddhists and peace lovers worldwide opportunities to meditate, observe precepts and get involved in charity together. For example, on every 22 April or the Earth Day, it organizes mass meditation and a ceremony to cast Buddha images. Its supporting organization, the Dhammakaya Foundation, has collaborated with the United Nations and international NGOs on several peace programs. The Foundation also pursues charitable activities such as providing aid to flood victims and to monks residing in the violence-prone areas of southern Thailand. The temple is constructing the Grand Meditation Stadium for World Peace for one million people to meditate together for individual happiness and world peace. This will also become a place where Buddhist monks from all over the world meet, meditate and work together for a stronger and more unified Buddhism. Through international mass meditation events, the temple aims to promote meditation as a means to achieve intra- and inter-religious unity and world peace through inner peace.
