The images that they see will embody themselves into their hearts and they will strive to find the answer for themselves. Beside the Maha Dhammakaya Cetiya structure, in order to pay our highest gratitude to the Great Teacher, the Memorial Hall of Phramongkolthepmuni and the Memorial Hall of Khun Yay Acariya Maharatana Upasika Chandra Khonnokyoong are used as a gathering place for meditation and for all people to come and pay homage. Around the same time, Khun Yay Acariya Maharatana Upasika Chandra Khonnokyoong's dining hall was built in order to allow supporters to offer food to the community of monks. Currently, Wat Phra Dhammakaya is a centre for Buddhists all over Thailand and it is also one of the main staging areas for major Buddhist ceremonies worldwide. Success was possible because of the great devotion and dedication of Luang Phaw Dhammajayo and his team. For this reason, he was bestowed a High Royal Order of the monastic ‘Raj level’ by His Majesty the King of Thailand to be recognised as a leading monk in meditation with the title “Phraarjabhavanavisudh”, on 5th December 1996 (2539 B.E.)."
