ความประทับใจที่มีต่อหลวงพ่อธัมมชโย

My Impression of Luang Por Dhammajayo

I will begin by saying that I worship the ground Luang Por Dhammajayo walks on literally.  It is because of him, his personage, his flawless conduct, his supernormal insight, his incomparable wealth of Dhamma knowledge, his righteousness, his loving-kindness, his generosity and countless other virtues that I became a practicing Buddhist.  Luang Por Dhammajayo is responsible for making my life as worthwhile and as meaningful as it is.  Luang Por Dhammajayo is one of the greatest Buddhist monks living today.  He has attained the Path and Fruit of Nibbana by practicing meditation based on Vijja Dhammakaya as discovered by Phramonkolthepmuni and passed on by Master Nun Chandra Khonnokyoong since he was in his early twenties.  He possesses the Three Kinds of Super-knowledge, namely, the ability to recall his previous lives, the ability to penetrate the previous lives of other living beings and the ability to penetrate the Four Noble Truths.  He brings the Lord Buddha's Teachings to life and makes them easy for people to practice.  His teaching of the Law of Kamma is beyond compare because he teaches it by using real life stories sent in by his followers and employing his supernormal insight to obtain certain information about certain individuals' previous lives as well as their lives in the hereafter.  The Law of Kamma is about the law of cause and effect.  For example, what did a person do in a previous life to cause him to suffer, for example, liver cirrhosis in this lifetime?  Luang Por Dhammajayo's teaching of the Law of Kamma makes it easy to understand the round of rebirth and the different realms of existence.  He teaches with words, pictures and the use of animation.  Through him, I came to know what the Lord Buddha looks like in person and what it means to possess all thirty-two features of the Perfect Man.  Through him, I get a glance at what the Celestial Realm and celestial beings look like; what the Hell Realm looks like; what the Peta Realm and the Asurakaya Realm look like; what are some of the horrific forms of punishment taking place in the States of Unhappiness, etc., etc.  Most importantly, through him I am able to unlock the deep happiness existing within me at the center of my being during meditation practice.  I have experienced for myself the positive effects of practicing the Lord Buddha's Teachings.  Examples include alms-giving, Precepts observation and meditation practice.  All of the secular knowledge I have gained from kindergarten to post-doctoral training and working in a multinational company is minuscule compared to what I have learnt from Luang Por Dhammajayo in less than twelve years.  I can actually write a book about my impression of Luang Por Dhammajayo but I will stop here for now.
