"เข้าวัดพระธรรมกายแล้ว ชีวิตดีขึ้นอย่างไร"
How has my life changed for the better after attending Wat Phra Dhammakaya?
The simplest answer is that attending Wat Phra Dhammakaya has turned my life which used to be upside-down right-side-up. I soaked up like a gigantic sponge whatever knowledge I could about the Lord Buddha's Teachings from the Dhamma lectures kindly given to the laity by the Abbot and the Vice-Abbot of Wat Phra Dhammakaya. I didn't realize how I had thirsted for such knowledge my entire life. As soon as I could, I tried to put what I had learnt into practice. I started out practicing generosity by giving alms at the temple, by donating generously to all of the worthwhile projects of the temple, etc. At the same time, I started to observe the Five Precepts as well as practicing meditation. I began to feel a fullness within me where a sense of emptiness used to be. I knew that I had my entire life to work on improving myself but I did not feel daunted because I least I knew then some of the things that I could do and how to go about doing it. I felt liberated, from ignorance, that is. I felt optimistic knowing that I had the power within me to build a new life of quality and purity and the power to shape my future lives. I have been given all the necessary tools for the task. And for nearly twelve years now that I have been working on improving myself and the quality of my life and on shaping my future lives. Hopefully, I will have decades more to do it.
