Journey to Dhamma: A Personal Transformation : หน้า 50/62

This was how I learned about Wat Phra Dhammakaya in 2001, under the guidance of a good fellow (kalyanamitta) from Korat who suggested that I contribute for the casting of an individual Buddha Image In 2002 I moved to the US. I wanted to do merit, so I did it at the temple near my house until I came across one of the many branches of Wat Phra Dhammakaya temple that was situated in Virginia I met a teacher-monk and I conversed with him joyously.

For the first time, I sat down and visualized a crystal ball according to Luang Phaw's teachings. I did not see anything but darkness inside. Later, I just closed my eyes and did nothing at all till I felt my body disappear and my mind coming to a standstill. It felt as though I was in an open space.
