Plan your life |
Plan well for your life. I planned everything through.
Even as a simple farmer, foresight served me well.
In the rice field and in the home, my skill at planning ahead helped my family to pay off our debt and we were able to save some money.
After I saw that my family was doing well, I made plans to enter the temple and to seek out my late father's afterlife whereabouts.
This story was recounted in the book, The Path to Happiness.
I lived for a time with Madam Liab and used my skills to help run her
household. While living there I met Thongsuk Samdangpan and learned
meditation from her.
Once I attained Dhammakaya, I wanted to join the temple immediately but
I knew Madam Liab would not let me. So instead, I asked her for a leave
to visit my family. With the help of Thongsuk, I was admitted to the temple,
shaved my head, and became a nun.
Once I joined the temple, I detached myself from the outside world completely, concentrating only on mastering the Dhammakaya Knowledge.
That is why my meditation skills are so profound. |
