Hold on tightly

How does one get left behind? When Luangpi Chitchai Mahachito was not busy with his responsibilities during the temple's construction, he spent a lot of time meditating. He had a "dream". In his dream, he saw a vehicle traveling at high speed over the ocean, and on this vehicle were many people holding on tightly. But it ran so rapidly that anyone who was not holding on tight enough fell off. This fast vehicle was me. I pursued Perfections. Everything I did, I did earnestly. That was why I moved ahead with high speed. Buddhajak Center is like a mountain. Some people saw the mountain and were afraid to climb. Those who do climb may get distracted along the way and fall from the path. Those who are afraid to climb are those who see the stringent rules of the temple and do not wish to comply. Hold on tightly to the vehicle! Do not fall off! Meditate as much as you can. Maintain your mind and your body with merit. Meditate with the mantra "samma arahang15". One day you will have your attainment. I endured a great deal and was supremely patient. It was patience that made the Buddhajak Center. Through it, ten virtuous monks were ordained.
