The history of Wat Phra Dhammakaya traces its origins to influential figures such as Phramongkolthepmuni, the Great Master and discoverer of the Dhammakaya Meditation method. Khun Yai Chand Khonnokyoong, the founder of the temple, played a crucial role alongside prominent monks like Chaiyaboon Suddhiphol and Padej Pongsawat in promoting meditation practices. With considerable growth, the temple now covers 1,000 acres and can accommodate up to 1,000,000 people. Significant achievements include the completion of the Great Dhammakaya Cetiya and the launch of DMC, the first 24/7 Buddhist Satellite TV channel, which broadcasts in over thirty countries, making Buddhist teachings accessible worldwide. The establishment of the Dhammakaya Open University further emphasizes the commitment to Buddhist education.
