Training and Educational Policies at Wat Phra Dhammakaya : หน้า 126/232

For this reason, Luang Phaw Dhammajayo has set a policy for Buddhist monks at Wat Phra Dhammakaya to receive training enabling them to have a strong determination, a good observance of the precepts, and good moral values arising from meditation practice, so that they can be amenable monks, and can be beacons of faith for followers and to be capable of teaching the Lord Buddha’s Dhamma so that they can bring true peace to the world. Besides setting a strict policy for the Buddhist monks to practise themselves, Luang Phaw Dhammajayo also fully promotes the study of Buddhist theory for monks and novices at Wat Phra Dhammakaya, by establishing The School of Buddhist Doctrine. The school officially opened in 1985 allowing monks, novices and interested laypeople to learn both Buddhist doctrine and the Pali language. At present, there have been a total of 5,890 graduates, including monks and interested laypeople. It is considered to be a large teaching centre which yields outstanding performance, and has always been acknowledged by the Thai Buddhist monk hierarchy.
