Luang Phaw laughed and said: "That's how it ought to be. You are now a rich man. You have given everything you have. Just as in the time of the Lord Buddha, Punnadasi offered the last of her dough to the Buddha and before long achieved prosperity. Your dried fish is worth more than any dough — your good deed this day, is vast in merit." Listening to Luang Phaw's praise, the man asked to be ordained and, as he didn't even have enough money to pay for the monk's eight requisites, Luang Phaw arranged for these things. Luang Phaw always taught that of all the merits, meditation is the highest. He said: "To meditate until the mind comes to a standstill, even for an instant of (no longer than) the flap of an elephant’s ear or the flick of a snake’s tongue, is a huge merit — more than building ten temples or pavilions — because the merit of building temples although improving the quality of your rebirth still leads you back to be reborn in Samsara, the cycle of birth, death and rebirth."
