tain the idea of building a new temple from scratch. Khun Yay planned everything for the building of the temple. This had been her intention for a long time but she had been waiting for her successor to ordain first. Once ordained, the new monk would need to have his own place to use as a school of meditation – so there would need to be a temple where people could come to learn meditation. They aspired to spread Buddhism to foreign countries, the growth of Dhammakāya meditation bringing peace to all countries in the world. It seemed very certain that Dhammaprasit House could no longer fulfil the strong and virtuous ambitions of the members if they were to complete their mission. It was about this time that Khun Yay knew it was the right time to start building a temple of her own.
