The fund from Dhammachai Kathina for Everything will be spent to build the monastic residence
The Kathina Merit is occasional which its fruit is so great. You can read them in the Pali Cannon like the story of Duggata, etc. In this year, the temple plans to spend the fund from the Kathina Ceremony to build the important things for spreading Dhammakaya Vijja of Buddhism to all over the world. The Most Ven. Phrarajbhavanavisudh (Luang Phaw Dhammajayo) kindly gives us a chance to get this big merit, so that he has established the Kathina Merit for Everything. The temple will spend its fund to build the Building of Phramongkolthepmuni (Sod Chandasaro), the Monk who conquers Maras to be the monastic residence.
This building is very important for spreading Dhammakaya Vijja of Buddhism because there are more teaching monks and fresh monks from many mass ordination projects. If you recall the amount of the fresh monks in many years ago, you will see that the amount of fresh monks who were ordained during the Buddhist Lents was not much. Although many temples in Bangkok where they had had a lot of fresh monks before became having less. When the Most Ven. Luang Phaw Dhammajayo had heard like that, he knew exactly that the Buddhism is in dangerous. So in 2010, he launched the ordination programs which were the Mass Ordination Project, the Pioneer Batch at the beginning of the year and the 7,000-Monk Ordination Project in the midyear by having the monks from the Pioneer Batch become their coaching monks.
After that the temple arranged the 100,000-Monk Ordination Projects, both the Summer and Buddhist Lents Batches. Now, Dhammakaya Temple has developed a lot of true monks for our societies and the monks in these projects love their monkhood and have the determination to spread Buddhism, teach Dhamma to the congregations, do the monastic duties and become the coaching monks to develop the new true monks from generation to generation. Today, a great number of monks are doing these duties in every region of Thailand and are going to do these duties around the world in the future.
These monks are the Officers of Dhamma Armies wherever they are staying including those who are staying and working in the headquarters, Dhammakaya Temple. They often traveled to have a meeting at Dhammakaya Temple which we do not have enough residence to provide. So, the Kathina Ceremony in this year is a very big merit and is named as Dhammachai Kathina for Everything. We have a plan to spend it to build the Monastic Residence, the Laywoman Residence and the Parking Lot to provide the monks and disciples in the future.
The Building of Phramongkolthepmuni (Sod Chandasaro), the Monk who conquers Maras
It has been designed to be three 12-floor residential buildings which will be able to provide up to 6,000 monks to stay. The buildings have divided to be bedrooms, meeting rooms, chanting rooms, meditation rooms, multi-purpose rooms, guestrooms, etc.
