"My impression of Master Nun Chandra Khonnokyoong"

By the time I arrived at Wat Phra Dhammakaya, Master Nun Chandra Khonnokyoong or most frequently referred to as Khun Yai, has already passed away for about four years. From my earlier post, I already mentioned going to make a food offering at the refectory of Master Nun Chandra Khonnokyoong when I went to Wat Phra Dhammakaya for the first time and how for the first two times in a row, I witnessed what I later discovered to be a miracle meant only for me. Now I believed it to be manifested by Khun Yai's supernormal powers. I have always felt a special closeness to Khun Yai and I have the greatest admiration for her many incomparable virtues. Each time I see the video clip of her cremation ceremony with all of its grandeur and sacredness, my eyes would tear up. Each time I really think about her, I would feel a tingling sensation deep in the pit of my stomach. For not having had any formal education at all, Khun Yai was absolutely brilliant. As far as Vijja Dhammakaya is concerned, she is peerless (according to the Great Master and Discoverer of Vijja Dhammakaya, Luang Pu Wat Paknam). The level of her elevated meditative attainments was such that she could recall her past lives while pulling weeds. She was highly accomplished in all the branches of Super Knowledge which was accessible as a result of her elevated meditative attainments. She has borne witness to the Lord Buddha's attainment of Self-Enlightenment and the fact that the Path and Fruit of Nibbana is just as attainable today as it was during the Lord Buddha's time. In my opinion, she is truly a Super Woman.  She is the founder of Wat Phra Dhammakaya.  She is the master of the Abbot and Vice-Abbot of Wat Phra Dhammakaya and the group of pioneering monks as well as the male devotees who lived and worked in Wat Phra Dhammakaya. She has laid down the ground rules for the temple and its members. She wanted her monks to be true monks in that they must practice righteousness according to the Dhamma-Vinaya.  She wanted her monks to pass on the Lord Buddha's Teachings to the laity. She wanted temple-goers to study and practice the Lord Buddha's Teachings. She is the role model of cleanliness, orderliness, politeness, punctuality and concentration. Suffice it to say that in order to describe all of Khun Yai's incomparable virtues, I will have to write a very thick book. I love and adore Khun Yai with all of my heart and all of my soul. I wish most of all to be just like her.
